As Manta Rays dance around her, Gramma Tala tells Moana: "When I die, I'm going to come back as one of these or I chose the wrong tattoo!"
Maui autographs Moana's oar, carving his signature with the nearest object he can find -- a chicken. "I'm gonna use a bird to write with," he explains, "it's called tweeting."
As Maui struggles to shape-shift with his newly recovered fish hook, he briefly turns into Sven the reindeer.
Disney didn't open up auditions for Maui -- they only wanted Johnson and reached out to him directly.
As Maui jumps into the Realm of Monsters, he shouts "Cheehoo!" It's the "Samoan Holler", an expression of excitement rooted in Samoa, and often heard in Hawaii. It's the first Disney animated film to use a Samoan Holler. It could easily be mistaken for a Goofy Holler, which has shown up in many Disney Films.
