• Auli'i Cravalho, a native of Hawaii, was the last of hundreds of actresses auditioned for Moana and recorded her first audition from her bed due to a leg injury.
• The film was developed over roughly five years under the working title Oceania, with extensive consultation from the Oceanic Story Trust.
• Moana is the first Disney Princess film without a central romantic love interest.
• Maui's living tattoos were hand-animated, with Mini Maui acting as his conscience and biggest fan.
• The ocean itself was treated as a character with personality, animated to respond emotionally to Moana.
• Opening Wednesday earned $15.5 million, a Disney Animation record at the time, en route to an $82.1 million five-day Thanksgiving debut.
• Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote songs while commuting to and from his Hamilton rehearsals on Broadway.
• Dwayne Johnson's grandfather was a Samoan high chief, which he cited as personal motivation for portraying Maui respectfully.
• The soundtrack peaked at number two on the Billboard 200, rare for an animated feature score.
• Cravalho reprised Moana in Hawaiian-language and Maori-language dubs; Rachel House and Temuera Morrison reprised roles in the Maori dub.

"See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me."

"I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti."

— Moana

"You're welcome!"

— Maui

"The ocean is calling you."

— Gramma Tala

"Hook, line, and sinker. It's time I let the ocean know exactly who you are dealing with."

— Tamatoa

"Know who you are and let it guide you."

• Heihei repeatedly swallows small rocks and later coughs them up, which would be lethal for a real chicken.
• Maui's fishhook changes size and damage level between shots during the Te Ka battle sequence.
• The coconut pirates (Kakamora) use modern-style slingshots and armor that feel anachronistic within the mythic setting.
• Moana's hair remains perfectly styled even after typhoons, shipwrecks, and underwater sequences.
