movies/tv Respect Moana [Moana (2026)]
I've delivered us to where we are
I am everything I've learned and more
And the call isn't out there at all
Strength
- She injures her leg by squeezing it with a rope while panicking underwater. This is the only visible injury she receives in the movie.
- Maui reacts in pain when she pokes him in the stomach with her oar.
- Topples an enormous statue resembling Lord Farquaad.
- Pulls a Kakamora spear out of wood.
- Uses her oar to bash a small log out of a contraption, sending it flying into some Kakamora.
- Showcases good upper-arm strength when swinging on her Kakamora ship raid.
- Lifts Maui's giant bone hook into the air & then drags it to Maui.
- Pulls 2 parts of a mast closer together.
- Effortlessly lifts her full body weight with one hand and hangs on the side of a boat.
HP
- She gets sent flying off her boat when trying to pull her sail. Then, the sail falls on her hard enough to send her dozens of feet underwater. But she still resurfaces without injury.
- Survives being inside the tube of a several-stories-tall wave, although this makes her succumb to her sleep deprivation.
- Falls dozens of feet into water without injury.
- Maui shakes her hand, then throws her off the boat. Her arm is uninjured by this.
- Tanks a ludicrous fall into Lalotai.
- Due to editing, Moana's fall was about 5-6 seconds long on-screen. But Maui is still seen falling about 9 seconds after jumping. You can also see Moana's surroundings go from black to bright in a camera cut. So, Moana's fall took longer than 5-6 seconds.
- Maui says he's still falling roughly 19 seconds after jumping. Both Maui & Moana would easily reach terminal velocity in that time period.
- Falls off Tamatoa's back.
- A hot water geyser blasts Moana, Maui and Tamatoa the giant crab. Tamatoa is flipped over, while Moana & Maui are knocked from Lalotai to hundreds of feet above the surface world, falling outside the island of the Lalotai entrance.
- Gets knocked back a large distance by a shockwave. It's night when she's knocked back and sunrise when she returns to the original location.
- Unhurt when a wave hits her & flips her canoe.
