Moana (2016)

Plot
Te Fiti, an island goddess, created all life and became an island. Te Fiti's heart, a small pounamu
stone, was stolen by the demigod Maui only for him to encounter the lava monster Te K, which
caused his fishhook and the heart to disappear into the ocean. Because of the heart being stolen,
the islands Te Fiti created are cursed.

A millennium later, Moana Waialiki as a toddler discovers the heart as she is collecting shells near
the ocean. After her chieftain father Tui orders her to return to the village, she never sees it until she
has grown up. Moana, now a teenager, has the responsibility of becoming the next Chief of the
island as her father insists, but due to the close friendship of her Grandmother Gramma Tala, keeps
her dream of leaving the island alive. She soon discovers that all the fish have disappeared from the
shores of the village, and the coconuts spoiled. Moana insists on going beyond the reef to catch
more, but her father dismays her request, angered by her wishes. Her mother Sina confesses that

her father acts like this because of the loss of his closest friend when they went sailing to unforgiving
waters one night in his youth.

Gramma Tala finds Moana on the beach after she tries to sail past the reef only to become
shipwrecked back home, and shows Moana a secret cave hidden behind a waterfall. Inside are the
sailboats that her ancestors stowed away. By banging the drum, she discovers they were voyagers.
Tala then gives Moana the heart of Te Fiti after showing her the curse draining life away from trees
and the island itself, saying that it is the only way to save her people. She goes to her father and tells
him of what Tala told her, but he doesn't listen and sees it as another excuse for her to leave the
island.

Later, Tala is seen ill and is found dying on her deathbed. With her dying breath, she tells Moana to
go save her people and gives her the necklace used to carry the heart. Moana departs using one of
the sailboats found in the cave and departs with Heihei, a dumb rooster who has accidentally
stowed away on the sailboat. She seeks to find Maui by following a constellation that looks like his
fishhook, but a wave flips her sailboat and knocks her unconscious. She wakes up the next morning
on a small island inhabited by Maui, who traps Moana in a cave after distracting her with a tune. He
steals her sailboat while threatening to eat Heihei. After escaping the cave, the ocean sends Moana
back on the sailboat to convince Maui. She shows him the heart and asks him to help her return it,
but Maui backs away fearing that the heart is a trap for the person carrying it and that other
creatures would kill to steal it for themselves.

Immediately after Heihei eats the heart during an encounter with little pygmy pirates known as
Kakamora, the Kakamora steal Heihei forcing Moana to retrieve it after Maui learns of her inability
to sail when they try to escape. After Moana retrieves Heihei from the Kakamora, Maui is able to get
their massive sailboats to collide into each other and the three make it out unharmed. Maui agrees
to help bring the heart back to Te Fiti. In order to do so, he needs his hook which is hidden in the
Realm of Monsters, held by a giant villainous coconut crab named Tamatoa. In his lair, Maui barely
retrieves the hook while Moana distracts Tamatoa by having him sing about himself. Afterward,
Maui and Moana escape his lair and Tamatoa is left stranded on his back in a last ditch effort to grab
them both. Back on the sailboat, Maui becomes depressed that he is unable to shapeshift into
anything that he wants with the fish hook but ultimately decides to teach Moana how to sail instead,
after the ocean numbs his derriere with a blow dart.

She learns that Maui has stolen the heart for a village that he has looked after once he was given his
powers from the gods. Through some encouragement from Moana, Maui is given the strength to
shape shift with ease, even managing to turn into a hawk. The two become friends as she learns
more on how to be a wayfinder. They arrive at Te Fiti where Te K appears and tries to destroy
them. Maui tries to fight back but instead tells Moana to turn back. She ignores his protest, which
brings Te K to partially destroy Maui's hook, severely damaging it and sending them far back across
the ocean. Out of anger, Maui leaves Moana stranded, fearing that going back to fight Te K will
permanently destroy his hook. He flies away after telling her that the ocean chose the wrong person
to save her people which is something she has been trying to find out why.

After sadly telling the ocean to bring the heart to someone else, Gramma Tala appears as a spiritual
manta ray and encourages her to find out who she is based on what she has learned, what she has
lived through, who she has met, and where she comes from. Moana proudly realizes who she has
meant to be within herself and what defines her, and swims down to retrieve the heart. Using her
wayfinding skills, she returns to Te K and manages to get past Te K to return the heart. Maui
returns as well having a change of heart to distract Te K. Moana, reaching the top of the mountain,

realizes that the island is gone and that Te K is actually Te Fiti without her heart. She asks the ocean
to clear a path so that she can have Te K approach her. She connects with Te Fiti and opens her
eyes to show her what she has become. Te Fiti calms down and lets Moana restore her heart which
brings everything including herself back to normal.

Te Fiti, now fully restored and the curse lifted, believes that Maui is left to apologize for his actions,
which he does. Maui in return is granted a new hook and flies off to meet with his villagers. Before
leaving, Maui bids Moana farewell with a hug, thanking her for all she's done.

Moana then returns to her island, where everything is back to normal and the villagers return to
wayfinding, releasing the boats from the hidden cave. As the new chief, Moana places her stone (a
seashell she collected when she was little) on the tallest mountain where many chiefs placed stones
to claim their leadership and sets sail with the rest of the villagers in search of new islands as Maui
accompanies them in his falcon form.

In a post-credits scene, Tamatoa is still left on his back and wondering if people would care more for
him if he was a Jamaican crab named Sebastian.

 MAKE-UP APPLICATION

Step 1: Preparation
Prepare the face by first cleaning with an oil free cleanser or soap and water. If
needed, use an astringent to remove excess oil from the skin.

Step 2: Foundation
Apply a complementary foundation to achieve an even skin tone. Cover
imperfections with an appropriate concealer.

Step 3: Eyes
Apply the eye shadow in the following order: Banana eye shadow to the brow bone
as a highlight, Light Brown to the eyelid, blend Dark Brown into the eye crease. Then
apply black liquid eyeliner to the top of the lid with a flick at the end and black pencil
eye liner to the bottom corners, blend with the bottom lashes.

Step 4: Eye brows

Use a Dark Brown eye shadow (or pencil) to fill in and shape your eye brows.

Step 5: Blush & Contour

Brush the Coral blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Use a natural light brown to
contour a button nose. Make sure to also contour around the chin to make the face
appear rounder. Highlight the bridge of the nose, the chin and any other areas you
feel necessary.

Step 6: Blending and Setting

Apply translucent powder to set the foundation and cheek colour.

Step 7: Lips
Apply a matching lip liner tracing the outline of the lips. Make sure to flatten the
cupids bow as Moana doesnt have one. Apply the Terracotta lip stick to the upper
and lower lips.
