Moana With Her Hands on Her Hips coloring page

About this coloring page

Moana standing proud says a lot about the hero of this Disney movie. She is the daughter of the chief of Motunui, an island where no one sails beyond the reef. When the coconuts start to rot and the fish disappear, Moana decides to head out to sea to save her people.

According to the legend her Gramma Tala tells her, the demigod Maui long ago stole the heart of Te Fiti, a goddess who brought life to the islands. Ever since, a creeping darkness has been spreading across the ocean. Moana has to find Maui, talk him into helping her and return the heart, a small green stone, to where it belongs.

Along the way she faces the giant crab Tamatoa, the coconut armored pirates called the Kakamora and Te Ka, a fearsome lava monster. Maui carries a magic fishhook that lets him shapeshift into animals, though it does not always work the way he wants.

The best part of the story is that Moana does not need a prince to complete her quest. She is brave, learns from her mistakes and figures out who she really is. That is why so many kids see her as a role model for never giving up.
