Moana coloring pages are featuring Moana, Maui and other characters from Moana animated film.
Moana is, at first glance, a story about a determined young girl who sails across a suspiciously sentient ocean to save her people and deliver a small but alarmingly powerful rock back to a deity with more botanical prowess than one would reasonably expect. But beneath the waves and occasional musical number, it’s really a tale about self-discovery, courage and the rather important business of conversing with semi-retired demigods. Children who watch it will come away with lessons in perseverance, cultural pride, and, if they're paying close attention, a suspicion that the ocean may have feelings.
Moana herself is a glowing beacon of perseverance, which is a rather handy trait to have when your travel companion is a self-absorbed demigod who’s more interested in his hair than your heroic mission. Faced with dangers that would make most adults reconsider their life choices—like oversized crabs with a penchant for jewelry and lava monsters with anger issues—Moana presses on. This, of course, is the film’s gentle but unyielding reminder that even when the odds are stacked higher than a sailor’s tales of sea monsters, sheer determination and a pinch of self-belief can carry you through. Children, it turns out, are encouraged to face their own metaphorical lava monsters with the same tenacity, though ideally without the musical accompaniment.
