Long ago, on the Polynesian island of Motunui, the inhabitants worshipped Te Fiti, a nature goddess who brought life to the ocean with her pounamu stone heart. Maui, a shape-shifting demigod and master wayfinder, stole Te Fiti's heart to give humanity the power of creation. Te Fiti disintegrated, and Maui was attacked by the volcanic demon Te Kā. Maui lost both the heart and his magic fish hook to the depths of the sea before disappearing.

A thousand years later, the ocean chooses Moana, daughter of Motunui's chief Tui, to return the heart. Tui and Sina, Moana's parents, want her to prepare for chieftainship and keep her from the ocean. Sixteen years later, blight strikes the island, killing vegetation and shrinking fish catches.
