You're Welcome For These 40+ 'Moana' Quotes Full Of Adventure And Spirit

We’ve all seen the sweet videos of The Rock a.k.a. Dwayne Johnson singing his Moana song to his little girl and can collectively agree to a unison “awww.” But besides being crazy cute, Johnson’s turn as Maui, the selfish demigod turned ally is easily one of the best parts of Disney’s Moana. The 2016 animated feature about a spirited and adventurous young girl who overcomes her fears to save her island and the world is simple and poignant in its messaging, and the lack of romantic counterpart makes it all the better. A Disney princess movie without a prince to save the day — how refreshing! And it doesn’t hurt that Hamilton‘s Lin-Manuel Miranda is the mastermind behind the film’s catchy and lush soundtrack.

So whether you’re a troublemaker like Maui, looking for some sparkle like Tamatoa, or itching for adventure like Moana, we’ve rounded up the film’s best quotes to get you by. You’re welcome.
