Moana is a 2016 animated film from Disney that tells the story of a young Polynesian girl named Moana, who sets out on a daring ocean voyage to save her island and discover her true identity. With the guidance of the demigod Maui, she faces numerous challenges as she journeys across the seas to restore the heart of Te Fiti, a mystical artifact that holds the key to her people’s survival. The film explores themes of self-discovery, bravery, and cultural heritage, blending breathtaking animation with an empowering narrative of female leadership. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, Moanabeautifully showcases the rich mythology and traditions of Polynesian culture.

The Moana soundtrack, composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foa'i, and Mark Mancina, is a vibrant and emotionally resonant collection of songs that enhances the film’s adventurous spirit. Tracks like "How Far I'll Go" became iconic for their uplifting lyrics and powerful vocal performance by Auli'i Cravalho, who voices Moana. The soundtrack incorporates traditional Polynesian music elements with contemporary styles, reflecting both the cultural roots of the story and its modern appeal. Songs like "We Know the Way" highlight the ancestral connection to the ocean, while Dwayne Johnson’s performance of "You're Welcome" brings humor and charm to the character of Maui. The soundtrack received critical acclaim for its originality and heartfelt compositions.
