incredible that we never realized my inability to answer "how are you?" was a sign of anything. no sirs I have never recognized the nuance of an internal feeling in my life but I did guess a Polynesian language based off a table from Wikipedia I saw three years ago and that was pretty neat?

Tossing phonemes overboard

Every time the ancient Polynesians hopped in a boat and sailed to a new set of islands they tossed another phoneme overboard:

Map showing the dispersal of the Austronesian languages, of which the Polynesian languages are a part. The family starts in Taiwan and spreads westward to Madagascar and eastward to the Polynesian islands.

Arranged roughly in order of dispersion from Proto-Polynesian:

Gorontalo: 20 consonants, 5 vowels

Sam: 17 consonants, 5 vowels

Siar-Lak: 15 consonants, 7 vowels

Longgu: 18 consonants, 5 vowels

Toqabaqita: 17 consonants, 5 vowels

Vurës: 15 consonants, 9 vowels

South Efate / Nafsan: 15 consonants, 5 vowels

Tuvaluan: 11 consonants, 5 vowels

Samoan: 10 consonants, 5 vowels

Tokelauan: 10 consonants, 5 vowels

Tahitian: 9 consonants, 5 vowels

Rapa Nui: 10 consonants, 5 vowels

(Yes these data are incredibly cherry-picked. Nonetheless, there is a known correlation between the eastward spread of the Austronesian and Polynesian languages and their decreased phoneme inventories. Whether this is just a coincidence or a matter of broader demographic influences on language is still a matter of debate among linguists.)

I'd like a Quechua dub of Moana. I doubt it'll happen any time soon, but I can dream.

zachinin might end up doing a dub one day but i would really love to see the movie fully realized in tokelauan

LU Headcanon’s Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

THE EDGY BOOOOOYY

[Legend it’s Legend’s turn]

Would rather saw off his legs than wear pants

Could and would probably slap Hylia if given the chance 

These are my headcanons so therefore I make the rules and so I say he is 100% engaged to Ravio 

Legend is an insomniac, and has gone a total of 71 hours and 42 minutes without crashing before

Is absolute besties with Hilda and Styla, despite one being from another country and the other being from an alternate dimension, it doesn’t stop him

“Bureaucracy will never beat a shift iron rod to the kneecaps.” 

Agender icon [He/She/It]

!!Hyrule!!A baby!!

Can’t read, and therefore can’t read a map [hence getting lost at any given point] because he was never taught how

“Yes, ma’am/sir!”

Wouldn’t often go into large towns in his Hyrule, and is often overwhelmed and scared of large crowds, so when they go to another or go to a town in their current one, will cling to Legend’s arm like a baby koala

“There are young and innocent ears in the room, and by that I mean Roolie.” “Gah?!”

I’m pretty sure it’s LoZ canon that he would be blood-relatives with Legend so I’m gonna make him and Legend have similar mannerisms and faces [Hyrule has a more rounded/babyish face and button nose, while Legend has sharper eyes and flat yet tall nose] 

They have the same confused and pouting expressions

Even more broke™

Snorts when he laughs

Twirls a lock of hair on his neck when nervous

It’s fucking WIMDY

Wind’s Hylian is based on Polynesian [Mainly Samoan, Tokelauan, and Tuvaluan]

“I lived on a WARSHIP-“ ok I’ll stop

The absolute BEST BIG BROTHER in the W O R L D

Uses the word fuck like a comma

Probably a medium 

Misses Linebeck :[[ 

Has a thing with large birds, things like seagulls and small birds he has no problem, but if there any larger than half his size he’ll lock up, and will always make sure it’s where he can see it

Has to keep a notebook of EVERYTHING after Phantom Hourglass, cause he still isn’t entirely sure if the journey actually happened or if it was just one big hallucination caused by the Ghost Ship

Wind and Tetra’s love language is beating the shit outta one another

The OG problem child

Loves Sun so fucking much he cannot even stand it

Princess Peach lips mf

Is a narcoleptic 

Has trouble breathing on the surface, it’s hardly ever too serious unless he seriously overexerts himself but there will pretty much always be a slight wheeze to his breathing 

Is mostly stressed about leaving Sun not just cause he misses her, but because he doesn’t know what could happen if he’s not there, especially since last time he WASN’T she was taken 

!!Him and Groose are now besties!!

Good for him good for him

Little to no reaction during a switch 

Weather is both his best friend and mortal enemy 

The scariest when angry

Will cry at the drop of a hat and doesn’t know what to do about it 

“No one will know the violence it took to become this gentle.”

FINALLY ON BRAND

Is very careful about not stepping on small things

Is pretty fuckin’ sick of Vaati at this point

“It’s funny when short people threaten me, like what are you gonna do?” “Say goodbye to your kneecaps asshole”

Thought of this when I first read the manga when I was like 13

So I often draw/write Four like a fusion from Steven Universe 

No I don’t take constructive criticism 

“This is who we are, this is who I am.”

Did he exist before the blade split him? Yes. But when he merged for the first time afterwards was he basically a new person? Also yes.

I rest my case

Misses Shadow :[[[[[[

Has a tooth gap!!

!!Has rainbow colored eyes!!

A whopping 4’10”

Puppy eyes work on him really well, it doesn’t matter who is making them, he will cave pretty much upon contact if you give him puppy eyes

G e n d e r

Alright I’m done for now

My thoughts and expectations for Moana 2

Holy s***, to say the least.

After seven years.

After the announcement of a live-action remake.

After having heard way back in 2020 that they were making a Disney+ series.

Whoa.

I just can't take it in.

Of course, like everyone, I have thoughts and expectations regarding this unexpected sequel.

First things first.

According to Disney,

"Moana 2 takes audiences on an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced."

So there's the first synopsis. Let's delve in a little deeper.

Moana gets a message from her ancestors. Okay, then. She must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure "unlike anything she's ever faced."

So that means the film will be taking us to the farthest corners of the Pacific Ocean. Does that mean its edges, like continental Asia or North America? Or Australia? Or even the chilly subantarctic waters? I'd love to see Moana and the gang to to China (which, as you may know, I'm obsessed with thanks to Kung Fu Panda), or the Americas (especially the west coast of the Andean region, which actually may have been landed on by Polynesians in the precolumbian era). It fits her peoples' role as explorers and discoverers.

Of course, all of us have been wondering where Moana would go ever since 2016. Then in late 2020, like I mentioned earlier, they announced a Moana series on Disney+, set to release this year. Well, it looks like this movie will be the reworking of that very series.

Now let's talk about some concerns I have.

The original directors and Lin-Manuel Miranda aren't returning.

It's probably a reworking of the series.

Sequels have a habit of not living up to the original.

Disney's recent animated works have failed.

It may have a Woke agenda.

The original directors and Lin-Manuel Miranda aren't returning.

Longtime veteran director pair John Musker and Ron Clements directed the first movie. With the help of a five-year research trip to Polynesia and countless consultants on all things Polynesian, combined with their refined directing skills, Musker and Clements made Moana the (however imperfect) masterpiece it is. Of course, they couldn't have made it a masterpiece music-wise without the help of acclaimed songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda. It's when sequels lose their predecessors' original directors-a key guiding star to a movie's success-that they go down the wrong path. Look at Ice Age, for example. The latter sequels of that notoriously apostate franchise weren't directed by the original directors, Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha. That alone wasn't the sole reason for the franchise's apostasy, though.

But enough about Ice Age. Without Lin-Manuel Miranda, I doubt the songs will live up to those of the original. I'm not exactly a fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda, but if the success of Moana and Encanto are any indication, I can trust him with a film's music. Without him, the music probably won't feel the same. On the other hand, at least Opetaia Foa'i and Mark Mancina are returning. The former, a Polynesian and patriarch of world-renowned band Te Vaka, helped immensely to give the first movie's music an authentic Polynesian feel, with songs partially or entirely in Samoan or Tokelauan. In other words, I'm thankful for him and his band. I also trust Mark Mancina, who has worked on films like Tarzan and Brother Bear. Still, that being said, I'll try to keep my expectations for the music sub-par.

2. It's probably a reworking of the series.

This isn't the first time a planned series has been reworked into a series. After Atlantis: The Lost Empire's release in 2001, Disney planned to make a series, but cancelled it and reworked it into a suckish sequel, with poor animation and stories literally just grafted together from 3 episodes. When the Moana series was announced in 2020, I felt a part of myself leap for joy. We all know TV series don't give as much hype as movies, but they have strengths that movies lack, one of them being the format in which the story is being told. A movie's story has to be abridged and crammed into a timeframe of about 2 or 3 hours, whereas a series can space the story out and give plenty of room for development of many aspects of the story over several episodes, something that a movie can't do. If Moana 2 does the same thing that Atlantis: Milo's Return did and poorly graft a few episodes' stories together with poor, if any, consistency flowing between the stories, I'm going to puke. We can hope that's not the case, but there's no guarantee of that.

3. Sequels have a habit of not living up to the original.

We've seen this trend all too many times. From Frozen 2, which did a mediocre job at best, to the Ice Age and Land Before Time sequels, which utterly ruined their franchises, sequels prove time and time again that they're not child's play. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Kung Fu Panda 2, but they are few and far in between. With how Frozen 2 turned out, I unfortunately expect this movie, too, to be downgraded from the original that I came to love so much.

4. Disney's recent animated works have failed.

Strange World flopped and Wish was, simply put it, suckish. In other words, looks like Disney is slowly but surely going down the drain. And for a sequel, of anything, to be made in this particular struggle means serious concern. Is Disney truly losing its charm like so many people fear it is? I certainly fear the answer is yes. I'd like to hope that this movie will be untouched by this crisis, but I just can't be sure.

5. It may have a Woke agenda.

I encourage left-wingers to steer clear of this section, lest they get upset and call me a Karen.

Since about 2020, the beginning of the Woke era, Disney has increasingly integrated Woke ideologies such as the LGBT+ movement and radical feminism into its once-family-friendly content, with examples being Onward, Lightyear, and Strange World. That's why I'm very, very thankful that the first movie was made-and finished-when it was. Otherwise, it, too, very likely would've been defiled by Wokeness. We're a few years into the Woke era now and the results on society and culture haven't been pretty. I fear this film will be pushing an unnecessary and unhealthy agenda that the first film was safe from. There's no guarantee that this film will be Woke, but there's no guarantee it won't be, either.

So there you have my main concerns for this film. Being a hardcore Moana fan, I want to be excited. This official confirmation was made literally less than a year away from its release date and the fandom has been waiting close to a decade for this.

But, like with any sequels, there are concerns to be addressed, and addressing the concerns is exactly what I've just done.

So, will Moana 2 live up to its predecessor? Or will it meet the same usual fate as countless other sequels before and yet to come? Only time will tell.

Moana (2016) v The Jungle Book (1967)

Moana: The songs here ended up using a combination of four languages: English, Samoan, Tokelauan, and Tuvaluan. Opetaia Foa'i and Lin Manuel Miranda worked on the lyrics and music of the songs. Mark Mancina put his masterful experience towards the score.

The Jungle Book: When compiling these beats, they looked to a lot of the unused pieces of previous hits, like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. Terry Gilkyson did hit it out of the park for Baloo and the team went modern with a Beatles inspired band of vultures.

with the disney plus singalongs, is there a reason they didn’t include the samoan and tokelauan lyrics for moana? since there’s been such a push to protect indigenous languages it feels weird

#im speaking as a whiter than white white bitch so its not my place but its still strange #like they made an entire version in maori but they didnt include the subtitles for the languages they speak in the actual film? #even if it was meant as well they repeat the verse in english so whats the point thats still shitty #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #moana

First Look at New Disney Treasure ‘Moana’ Show

We're excited to share more details about “Disney The Tale of Moana,” which will debut exclusively at the Walt Disney Theatre onboard the Disney Treasure in December 2024. With set design and music bursting with elements of Pacific Island cultures which inspire the classic coming-of-age tale, this innovative production will immerse audiences in a transformational adventure across land and sea. Read on for more details and a sneak peek of how “Disney The Tale of Moana” will come to life in the first stage adaptation inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios film. Towering Puppets Take Stage To create puppetry that soars to mythical heights, Disney Live Entertainment Creative Director of puppetry and articulation, Jeff Conover, teamed up with master puppet designer Michael Curry, whose creations are featured in Disney's Tony Award-winning musical "The Lion King" on Broadway. Te Kā, the massive, fiery villain guarding Te Fiti, will be a puppet of a scale Disney Cruise Line has never before produced. When Moana meets Te Kā and restores the heart of Te Fiti, the giant Te Kā puppet will shed its fiery shell and become the gentle island goddess, Te Fiti herself. Practice Your “Warrior Face” The stage show will also include a brand new song, “Warrior Face,” performed by Moana and Maui when the demigod teaches Moana how to face her fears before entering the Realm of the Monsters to face Tamatoa. “Warrior Face” will join classic favorites from the Grammy-Award winning soundtrack in the stage show, including “You’re Welcome,” “We Know The Way” and “How Far I’ll Go.” Setting the Scene in “Innocent Warrior” “Disney The Tale of Moana” will begin in modern day on the fictional island of Motunui, in a set design filled with hints of brilliant Pacific Island cultures that will appear throughout the show. The spirit of Gramma Tala, our narrator, will introduce her granddaughter, while through vibrant dance and songs in a mix of languages including Tuvaluan, Tokelauan and Samoan, we will learn how the ocean chooses young Moana for an incredible journey to restore the heart of Te Fiti. Transforming The Walt Disney Theatre in “How Far I’ll Go” In this iconic scene, The Walt Disney Theatre will transform from the island of Motunui into the open ocean as Moana’s journey moves from her home to the great voyage that she’s longed for her entire life. Twinkling stars will swirl overhead and a giant, glowing manta ray will emerge and soar above the audience as a newfound sense of courage fills Moana. The manta ray is the spirit of Gramma Tala, lighting up the sea to accompany Moana on her journey to save her people. This show looks stunning, and we know our guests cannot wait to see Moana’s incredible story unfold in a new way on the Disney Treasure! “Disney The Tale of Moana” will join a dazzling lineup of fan-favorite shows like “Beauty and the Beast” and “Disney Seas the Adventure” in the Walt Disney Theatre. Stay tuned for more details about the Disney Treasure as we count down the days until it sets sail in December 2024. Come learn more about Disney Cruise Line Join us for an exciting immersive look at Disney Cruise Line! We're excited to be offering an immersive virtual tour of ships and itineraries on Anchors Aweigh with travel host Cameron Matthews! Read the full article
