** First is the [[JawDrop slack-jawed]] "[[FlatWhat O_O]]" face she gives after Maui goes from a beetle to a ''whale'' less than ten feet from her face, with her failure to process this blatant violation of the laws of nature preventing her from anticipating the whale-sized belly-flop that follows completely drenching her.

** Te Kā's facial reaction to seeing Maui in Shark Head form during the final battle.
** On the list of facial expressions, the [[FlatWhat sheer uncomprehending look]] on Te Kā's face when Maui gets right in her face before turning into a whale has to be seen to be fully appreciated. And then Maui belly-flops into the water, splashing her.



* Moana gives a big explanatory speech to Heihei about her plan to confront Te Kā with just her canoe, and then she stows Heihei away in the storage compartment as she ends it with:

Added DiffLines:

* For someone whose default expression is an angry scowl, even Te Kā gets a few funny moments, courtesy of Maui's transformation antics.

* Maui tries shape-shifting again after re-acquiring his hook. His "Cha-hoo!" causes him to turn into...a small red fish that flops around pathetically on Tamatoa's shell. He gives a face of "Huh, this usually works the first time," so he does his war cry and flops up in the air, rapidly shapeshifting into (in quick succession) a shark, a bug, [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Sven]], a pig, and finally, his normal self.
