Moana

When we talk about movies like Frozen, we can’t leave out Moana. Like some of the films mentioned above, the 2016 animated film Moana revolves around a female main character, and the story is set on the Polynesian island of Motunui, a sub-region of Oceania. The film revolves around the title character Moana, the strong-willed daughter of a Polynesian village chief who’s chosen by the ocean itself to reunite a mystical relic with the goddess Te Fiti.

When her island is struck by a plague, Moana sets out to find Maui, a legendary demigod, in hopes of returning the relic to Te Fiti and saving her people. The plot is original, but inspired by Polynesian myths. So, it incorporates meta-narratives from mythology as it successfully demonstrates the hero’s journey while showing its viewers about key archetypes related to Mother Nature. Watch it on Disney+ or Amazon Prime Video.
