History WMG / Moana

** What will most likely happen, at least in my opinion, is that the BigBad ends up [[AppeaseTheVolcanoGodfalling in a volcano as comeuppance for his/her misdeeds]].

* Are you saying that Moana's people are uncivilised?

The more recent Disney films have averted or downplayed romance, defying a common scenario in animated films. Zootopia, Big Hero 6 and Wreck-It-Ralph have avoided giving their protagonists love interestes, and Frozen sort of defied the concept even though there's the kiss at the end. Moana will be the first Disney Princess movie where romance doesn't play a part. This is added to in that the synopsis so far does not describe romance, and Maui is voiced by an older man.

[[WMG: The volcano from Lava will be involved somehow.]]

* Well, this theory has one very big piece of supporting evidence: [[Theater/{{Hamilton}} Lin]][[AwesomeMusic -]] [[InTheHeights Manuel]] [[Creator/LinManuelMiranda Miranda.]]

[[WMG: Moana's people will migrate to Australia or New Zealand by the end of the movie]]

[[WMG: The villain will be comedic, snarky, and on par with [[Disney/{{Hercules}} Hades]] or [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove Yzma]].]]

If so, this guy would have made a pact with the lava creatures to make Moana's Pop get lost at sea.

Since both Disney movies take place in a South Pacific setting.

It's about time he had a good guy role. Bonus points if it's a HeroWithBadPublicity.

Assuming I got my time period right.

If anything because the red-herring/plot twist villain cliche is already getting old with Disney using it consecutively and without stop in the last years since Wreck It Ralph (every movie after it has this cliche). It would be a breath of fresh air to return to the classics, or maybe even try something different (maybe have a character who has a "nice" design but we know they're evil from the start, but out heroes don't).

It seems to be a recent trend in Disney, with the villain - aside from [[HiddenVillain keeping their identity a secret for most of the film]] - not dying and instead getting arrested or subdued in some way. The last actual villain death was back in 2012, with ''Disney/WreckItRalph''; after that, in ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', Prince Hans was non-fatally subdued and sent back to his own country under arrest, in ''Disney/BigHero6'', Yokai/Callaghan was also simply arrested, and, judging by early leaks of ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}, [[spoiler: the new spoiler villain is also simply detained and incarcerated, this time without even a fight.]] So ''Moana'' presents a new opportunity to have the bad guy, whoever they may be, be defeated or killed more traditionally as opposed to non-fatal incarceration. The setting and story, from the little that's been glimpsed so far, wouldn't make sense if the villain was simply arrested, as the story seems more a sort of "grand journey" and the bulk of the setting seems to take place away from civilized society.

The release date for the film is almost exactly 3 years after Frozen was released, which itself was released almost exactly 3 years after Tangled. If you'll recall, Rapunzel and Flynn made cameos in Frozen. So, my theory is that Anna and Elsa (and or Kristoff, but given Elsa's popularity, its most likely going to be her) will make some sort of appearance.

It's time for a new song to be sung by little kids everywhere.
