As a non-Indigenous settler who calls Hawaii home, it’s not for me to decide whether Disney succeeded in accurately representing Polynesian cultures in Moana. But having grown up in the islands, it’s easy to see that these contradictions have real, material impacts for the people of the Pacific, and Hawaii in particular, because they promote and legitimise the consumption of native lands, waters and culture by non-native peoples. And the desire for environmentally and culturally sustainable alternatives to the tourism economy is real. Many of these tourists then take a shuttle or rental car to Aulani resort, part of a master-planned development that was vehemently opposed by the native Hawaiian community when it began in the 1980s and 90s. The activist Puanani Burgess recalls in the book A Nation Rising: Hawaiian Movements for Life, Land, and Sovereignty, the “development was going to change how life was lived on the coast by changing the coastline. Their plan called for building lagoons because there was no natural beach … They were going to change the landscape of the ocean and the ability for fishermen to fish.”Top Selling Video Titles in the United States in 2017".

Over the five years it took to develop and produce the film, Clements and Musker recruited experts from across the South Pacific to form an Oceanic Story Trust, who consulted on the film's cultural accuracy and sensitivity as the story evolved through nine versions. [19] The Trust responded negatively, for example, to a depiction of Maui as bald, and to a proposed scene in which Moana threw a tantrum by throwing coconuts. In response, Maui was reworked with long hair and the coconut scene was scrapped. [15] Evry, Max (April 22, 2016). "Moana Footage & Inner Workings Coming to Annecy Fest". ComingSoon.net.
