Trivia:
Taika Waititi had written the initial screenplay focusing on Moana as the sole daughter in a family with five to six brothers but had later decided to focus the story solely on Moana.

Pamela Ribon came up with the idea of a grandmother character for the film who would serve as the mentor tied to the ancient traditions.

Another version of the script had focused on Moana rescuing her father, who had been lost at sea.

Jared Bush received sole credit as the writer of the final version of the screenplay.

The sequence in which Maui and Moana encounter the Kakamora was supposed to be an intentional homage to Mad Max: Fury Road.

Lin-Manuel Miranda was signed on to write the music for Moana before the Broadway stage musical 'Hamilton' became a worldwide phenomenal hit.

The term 'Moana' depicts the Polynesian word for ocean or sea and is also a common Polynesian word for the colour blue.

Several girls had auditioned for the role online and actual casting calls were made in different locations.

Fifth Harmony member and pop star Dinah Jane Hansenn had auditioned for the role of Moana.

Maui's tattoos were hand-drawn animated and detailed which makes Moana the first full-length Disney animated feature film to feature hand drawn animation.

'Moana' is one of the few Disney Animated feature films where the voice actors wouldn't match their character's mouth movements, with all the dialogue recording having been finished up 4 months prior to the film's release.

Moana is the third animated movie of Dwayne Johnson after 'The Game Plan' and 'Race to Witch Mountain'

Jemaine Clement and Nicole Scherzinger had already work together in Men in Black 3

Moana is Clements and Musker's first fully computer-animated film

Eric Goldberg had ardently worked on the hand-drawn animation used to depict Maui's sentient tattoos
