The thing that makes me LOL is that Triton IS a god!!!!! In Greek mythology. And the son of the Greek god Poseidon in Greek mythology, the next thing he says!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
fun fact: Triton is actually a God, in Greek mythology Triton is the son of Poseidon. Triton is king of the ocean because control over it was given to him by his father
Fun fact: Poseidon is related to God/Heracles dad and you know how Hades is brother to god/Heracles dad and Poseidon son is Triton and Triton's daughter is Ariel and God/Heracles dad son is Heracles so that makes Ariel and Heracles 3rd cousins⊙▪⊙.
Altrenative Theory: Tamatoa IS Sebastian, as in "Shiny" he says, "Now Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam, I was a drab little crab once." This could easily be referring to Sebastian, and it could be another reason why he knows about him at the post credits scene. It's because he WAS Sebastian! (But hey, that's just a theory, a commentor's theory!)
Have you looked into the theory that Tomatoa was an owner of the magic lamp? Being he a scavenger, he found the lamp. It would also explain why the Genie said, "Your a lot smaller than my last master." It's really interesting!
Even with the thousand year span, the timing still doesn't add up. The directors based the movie off an actual period in Polynesian history where all exploration and voyaging was halted for roughly 1000 years before picking up again. That was about 3000 years ago, meaning that Moana takes place about 2000 years ago, while The Little Mermaid takes place in like the 1600s-ish.
also keep in mind that Maui knew of Tamatoa previous to his exile on that island. Thus Tamatoa existed prior to the halt of exploration, and the timing is all completely invalid
Furthermore about timing; In the opening prologue of the movie Tamatoa is trying to get the Heart of Tefiti WHILE Tefiti is still around and while the people of the island are still exploring. This proves even more so the timing doesn't add up. If I had to guess I would assume Ursula and Tamatoa would probably know each other because well...evil, near immortal God-like beings but I don't believe they're the same person.
If you'd looked up decapods, you'd know that the coconut crab is a decapod, and it's back two legs are very small and concealed within the shell as they're generally only used in reproduction. In fact, the "look it up" line is probably directed at people like yourself who are confused as to why Tamatoa describes himself as a decapod when he only has eight visable legs. So, look it up! No, really! ;)
+Joshua Dewing Yes, but just to clarify, these are not the last two, but are the 4th pair, the last two are usually concealed, Wikipedia: "The fourth pair of legs is smaller with tweezer-like chelae at the end, allowing young coconut crabs to grip the inside of a shell or coconut husk to carry for protection; adults use this pair for walking and climbing. The last pair of legs is very small and is used by females to tend their eggs, and by the males in mating.[10] This last pair of legs is usually held inside the carapace, in the cavity containing the breathing organs. "
5:15 Tamatoa, Ursula, Yzma, Maleficent, Randall, Dr. Facilier, Dave, Crazy Minions, Celia, Queen Grimhilde, Tempest... I don't think that's a shock. Movie villains seem to have a habit of being purple.
NAJ Twirtlaw lol have u even seen finding nemo? crush the hreen sea turtle is 150 years old... so the turtle in moana is crush.... think before u speak: )
NAJ Twirtlaw I don't think Disney always uses the most believable traits when it comes to animals (Heihei shallows a stone that should have killed it). I agree in real life a green sea turtle would live that long, but Crush literally tells Marlin that is how old he is. I am guessing they are using leatherback tutle age with a green sea turtles look. As far as the way he talks, I don't find this to be an issue because it's a turtle talking. How do we know what accent they carry?
Tamatoa is a coconut crab, which has 10 legs, with the hindmost pair being hidden and used for cleaning their breathing organs, mating and for taking care of their eggs.
Actually I believe he was just sort of talking to himself or to HeiHei, sort of just self-narrating. Seeing that he has been stuck on the island for quite a while it isn't a far stretch to say that he may have gotten into a habit of this type.
Also, in Shiny, Tamatoa said this line: "Shiny, like the treasure from a sunken pirate wreck." This implies that: 1: Tamatoa knows what a pirate ship is, which shouldn't be possible if Moana took place before The Little Mermaid. 2: He might have used that specific expression because he had an experience with a pirate ship himself, possibly in a past life. Note that there is a pirate wreck in The Little Mermaid. So, he could have been referencing that wreck, further supporting the idea that he's Ursula.
Kevin Anderson Lolo uhhh i think you mean great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather
This completely wrecks my theory of Tamatoa being Sebastian's half brother that didn't get enough attention from their mother while Sebastian got all da love so Tamatoa tried to make himself more powerful and important than his brother by becoming as big and shiny as possible and also steal the heart of Tefity or however you spell that junk, which would be why he says that if he was Sebastian you would totally help him.
LEGO Boi actually you might he right, because maui ripped off tamatoa's leg 1000 years ago, so he is OLD, he existed before ursula died, so he might be her brother, or even father
You can tell Disney was having fun with his story and the clever little secrets. I think that tomatoa knew Maui when he was alive, and that's why he says he knows him.
Aisling I think that the sabatian thing was because of him, he has opeanly said that his favorite disney movie was the little mermaid, and i do not belive it has to do with the theory
Only one huge flaw with this theory, Tamatoa like all coconut crabs has 10 legs. The final two legs are used for different purposes depending on the gender of the crab but generally relate to mating and releasing eggs, these two legs are held inside the crabs abdomen and are unable to be seen normally unless you witness them using them or dissect them, and with that your theory is null and void, good day.
Tamatoa is also not a coconut crab. He doesn't have the right shape to be one. Coconut crabs are just a giant species of hermit crab, and a hermit crab without a shell has a very specific look. They have a long tubular abdomen that normally holds them in their shells, but coconut crabs get too big to fit in any shells, so they just kinda tuck it under themselves. We see Tamatoa flipped over, and he does not have this tubular abdomen. He also has a pair of flattened back legs, which swimming crabs have but nonswimming crabs, like hermit crabs (and by extension, coconut crabs) lack. Ergo, he is not a coconut crab.
DapperDragon This same guy said tamatoa is actually a coconut crab so, you are incorrect. Tamatoa even fits the criteria for coconut crabs. 10 legged, collects shiny things, isolated and he even fits the shape of one.
D Faria in the very beginning where Moana was a baby that shell was the was the first thing that the ocean gave to her if you didn't notice I looked at the print and it was the exact same in which I don't know if she remembered that stuff or anything but it was exact same rock or shell
I realized that tamatoa might actually be the chief's best friend who died a sea, therefore reincarnated as a crab, and he is looking for power for revenge against moana's dad.
Leslie Emanuel -- I don't think it adds up because Tamatoa was there before Maui lost his hook over a thousand years back and Moana's dad's friend died only a couple decades before the movie takes place. I wish the timelines matched however, because that would rock if he was reincarnated as Tamatoa. 😁😁😁
I hope there's a loophole or something to make it true. I wish it could be. Imagine how much the movie would have changed, maybe for a cooler storyline, if they did that. 😁😁😁
yo! person who mentioned that Riley was possibly adopted. I got a Moana theory you might like. Ok, so I'm pretty sure Moana and her family are descendents of Te Fiti. A) Moana and Te Fiti are practically identical B) her grandma has way too much knowledge on the heart, it's like she is deliberately telling Moana these stories as a toddler to enforce a duty plus she turns into a manta ray and comes back as a spirit to tell moana she needs to continue on C) Moana shows signs of these mystical powers when she steps into the cave and gers a vision telling her everything about her tribes past D) both moana ' s Dad and grandma have this intense craving for the ocean too. Her grandma just goes along with it but doesn't do anything and her dad only stopped going to the ocean because his friend died. Which also says something because the ocean clearly didn't want the friend going along but her dad does survive. E) I did some research and even though the goddess Te Fiti is based on -pele - doesn't have kids, she did have a mortal sister.
Slightly different situation. Ursula was hit by a heavily damaged (therefore slow moving) wooden ship. Cthulhu was hit by a much larger, steam powered, ironclad ship, presumably weighing many times more and moving much faster. It’s like the difference between being hit by a bicycle vs. Getting hit by an SUV pulling 30.
Moans is based off of Maori AND Polynesian cultures. Moana in Maori literally translates to sea and Tamatoa is Maori for trophies. That is the more likely reason he has his name.
hey supercarlinbrothers. I want to put up an interesting point for when at about 1:50 or so, you were talking about how tomatoa (excuse spelling) and the grandma were both reincarnated, but the grandma glowed and he didn't. Well, technically he did. when she was glowing, it was at night and it was dark. during his song, he hit the wall and caused a shell to close off the entrance at the top, blocking the light. he then started to glow purple.. along with all his treasure glowing what color? blue! so, maybe they only glow in the dark? makes sense to me
But Tamatoa is OLD. He met Maury before that one thousand years ban. So he was born AT LEAST thousand years ago. So unless you think Moana takes place in far away future, he can't be Ursula reincarnation.He could still have met her at some point and even be friends with her, why not?
It's an interesting theory, except for a few things: First going back to the timeline theory, in the span of 1000 years, depending on the when in time this happened, then there would have been some influence from European explorers who sailed through the Pacific. In the case of the Little Mermaid, i say it it set between the 1600's-1700's, then again it is a fairy tale and time and what century it is is irrelevant. But, by the time the Europeans came around to the Pacific, all the islands were inhabited by the Polynesians, So before Ursula would have been killed in the Little Mermaid. Also an image of Tamatoa is seen in the prologue when Gramma Tala is telling the story; he's one of the monsters who sought Te Fiti's heart. He was around 1000 years prior to the beginning and even long before that, because Maui and Tamatoa crossed paths when Maui ripped off his leg and he would have needed his hook for that. Second and not as big as a critique, but directors and studios love to reference past work and movies. Maui momentarily changes into Sven from Frozen, even though Musker and Clements never directed it, it's still a character from Disney, so of course Sven would get a cameo. the Genies lamp can be seen on Tamatoa's shell and Musker and Clements directed Aladdin, of course they would have that Easter egg put in. And most of all, Genie's lead animator hand animated Mini-Maui. Disney likes to throw easter eggs and references from past projects in their movies, so Tamatoa speaking of Sebastian, a fellow crab, is meant as a jab or joke. It's like Spider-man referencing Empire Strikes back (Now that Disney owns Star Wars); while it's fun to think or entertain that all the Disney movies are part of one massive universe, it's all just for fun. And thirdly, While Tamatoa's name sound similar to Taotao Mo'na, that is not how Tamatoa got his name. His name in Maori literally means 'Trophies' and his obsession with shiny and magical objects is proof. Maui himself said it: 'He's a scavenger. He collects stuff, thinks it make him look cool.' So, I'll entertain the idea that Tamatoa may be Ursula's incarnation, I don't think that's the case here.
The grandmother in the dark glows but in the light she looks like a normal stingray and when tamtoea is in the dark he lights (and when the shell closes) up like the grandmother did and he also looks normal in light
odog396 but tomatoes can control which part of him glows because he made his antenna have a moving pink stripe pattern so if he covered himself in the glowing stuff he wouldn't be able to control it
One problem is that Maui was stuck on that island all those thousand years. Which also means that he would have had to have met Tamatoa before his imprisonment, in order to have the kind of antagonistic relationship we see.
We kind of know when Moana takes place, the story was written as something of an explanation for why the Polynesian people stopped wayfinding for about 1000 years, an event which ended shortly before Hawaii was settled for the first time somewhere between the 11th and 14th centuries, well before the timeline of The Little Mermaid.
something i noticed; the manta ray actually only glows during the night scenes, but in the day, it seemed like an ordinary manta ray. tamatoa actually doesn't start glowing until he closes the 'skylight'.
I think there is some substance to that theory but it's not nearly detailed enough to be conclusive. It's mostly speculation. I'd appreciate if more research could be done into this.
Corey Brown avatar and moana are two completely different things and reincarnation rules might differ but the only thing that reincarnated was that one white spirit and it was only possible because of that the person in the past life has nothing the do with the next one
I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not but nah, he says he wasn’t glam until he met Maui, so he can’t be Ursula since shes been that way from the start. Also, little mermaid is set in the 1800’s, way after the time in which Moana takes place.
Well it could be a vague reference of just being a boring crab with little to show. Not little in size, considering the movie proves that reincarnation turn them instantly into full-grown animals. Just a speculation.
or what if he was ursulas grandson? because after showed intrest in moanas necklace he said he ate his grandma and it took forever because she was absoultly humongous....and ursula was definantly humongous when she died.
In the novelization of the film, Tamatoa states that he ate both of his grandparents. I don't recall Ursula having any husband or kids before she died. maybe Ursula ate her grandparents... I'm gonna have to rewatch the little mermaid.
Sara Anderson that's true but tomatoa would of had to eat ursula and then die also after ursula died then he could of ate her cus he couldent eat her when ursula was alive
That makes more sense that it seems to on the surface. Tamatoa did not say that he killed and ate his grandmother. He only said that he ate her. Crabs of all sorts are know to be carrion feeders. After Prince Eric killed Ursula it only makes sense that something would have eaten her. Nature is fussy about not letting things like fresh corpses go to waste.
Also for this theory to be true it would have to take place after MLM which is approximately in the 19th Century... meaning that the movie takes place in at least the year 2800!
Here's a theory. Tamatoa and Maui obviously have more history than what's shown in the movie. The fact that Tamatoa can speak and act as a human while in animal form, where no other animal / creature speaks including moanas grandma while she is in manta ray form, tekka, or any other creature, suggests to me that he was once human. And the next part of my theory, Tamatoa ended up with the fish hook as a human and tried to use it but got stuck as a coconut crab. Maui found Tamatoa as a crab and they fought and that's when he lost a leg but eventually won, obtaining the hook again. My evidence other than the human speach, Maui should be able to control the hook better than anyone, but after reuniting, he can't get the hook to work properly, suggesting that it takes much work and dedication to get used to it, but Tamatoa gave up and stayed as a crab
I was with you for the whole thing but then with the time frame I thought about how Maui mentioned cutting off one of Tamatoa's legs previously, which had to have taken place before the islanders' 1,000 years of being on one island, therefore throwing the timeline back off.
Jason Picado if you want me to be more specific, as his emotions change it may secrete a different chemical which may react with the stuff to change colour, and with all his shiny stuff he could have looked at his reflection
The Egg I would personally say that if he wasn't Ursula, Then he knew who she was. The fact that these writers were the same for both movies just explains how he knew who Sebastian was, but not much else.
I prefer the idea that Tamatoa and Maui had been allies in the past, searching for the Heart, and towards the end of their journey, Tamatoa turned on Maui, stealing his hook and trying to use its power, turning himself into a crab, and he never used the hook again, as he was scared of turning into something less useful. And, well, their battle ended with Maui defeating Tamatoa, but he kept both the Heart and the Hook.
Just counted on several images: Tamatoa is ten legged. Six main legs (three either side) two pincer arm/legs and two teeny weeny little back legs. 6 + 2 +2. Makes 10. Boom baby
*If u want to get technical then technically that's an impossible theory. The country of which Little Mermaid takes place is Denmark, the Denmark ships of THAT time are 'ships of the line' of which at this point in time the Polynesians were already starting to Westernize and to start adapting to Western culture... it doesn't add up sorry..*
Smoucan McFrootLoops The movie is canonically set in Denmark due to the story of the Little Mermaid being set there. Plus the architecture fits. But who's to say how far and how fast merfolk can swim. According to most lore, merfolk are amazingly fast swimmers with high endurance.
The original story is set in Denmark, I know, as a Dane, I grew up on these stories. Also, as a Dane I can see that it in no way looks remotely like Denmark. I wish Disney's version was set in Denmark, but I just can not see that happen. Calypso music, sharks, exotic fish that does not live even remotely close, and also, palm trees, which okay, say they were imported.. Even if they took artistic liberties... There is also a mountain. Denmark is about the flattest country after the Netherlands. I'm not saying I don't want it to be set in DK, but there is not way that's possible.
Yes, Maui chopped off one of Tamatoa's legs, but that changes nothing, you can still see half of the leg he chopped off

DAY-V Entertainment™ What? Really? Both songs sound very different.
Cybot2966 yes, but I understand. the way he was singing to moana in the storytelling way?
IMO Shiny was kinda shit. It just didn't seem appropriate for the flow of the movie. But that's my two cents.
DAY-V Entertainment™ Have you heard Lin's demo version?
Brandon Ok but picture Tamatoa beating up Maui without music. That would be pretty dark.
Tamatoma = mr.crabs cuz they both like and want gold
Mr Krabs lives in modern times. so maybe another reincarnation produced a slightly less villainous version.

he's not evil to be reincarnated as a coconut crab
“Well tamatoa hasn’t always been this glam, I was a drab little crab once” Sebastian is small. I support this theory
Tamatoa is a coconut crab, which has 10 legs, with the hindmost pair being hidden and used for cleaning their breathing organs, mating and for taking care of their eggs.
Maui breaks fourth wall when he says "Boat snack!!!" just thought i'd throw that out there. :)

Actually I believe he was just sort of talking to himself or to HeiHei, sort of just self-narrating. Seeing that he has been stuck on the island for quite a while it isn't a far stretch to say that he may have gotten into a habit of this type.
He also references Twitter, which I'm pretty sure isn't meant to be purely diegetic.
TalysAlankil well it was just a referenced joke
Also, in Shiny, Tamatoa said this line: "Shiny, like the treasure from a sunken pirate wreck." This implies that:
1: Tamatoa knows what a pirate ship is, which shouldn't be possible if Moana took place before The Little Mermaid.
2: He might have used that specific expression because he had an experience with a pirate ship himself, possibly in a past life. Note that there is a pirate wreck in The Little Mermaid. So, he could have been referencing that wreck, further supporting the idea that he's Ursula.
Excuse me, did you forget about the little coconut guys that chased down Moana and Maui?
Those guys were pirates.
Pirates have been around for as long as stuff has been on ships
Um...what about....

This completely wrecks my theory of Tamatoa being Sebastian's half brother that didn't get enough attention from their mother while Sebastian got all da love so Tamatoa tried to make himself more powerful and important than his brother by becoming as big and shiny as possible and also steal the heart of Tefity or however you spell that junk, which would be why he says that if he was Sebastian you would totally help him.
But whatever. Totally doesn't matter that the theory I worked on for two months just got wrecked. Its fine.....
LEGO Boi actually you might he right, because maui ripped off tamatoa's leg 1000 years ago, so he is OLD, he existed before ursula died, so he might be her brother, or even father
They're entirely different species of crab.
LEGO Boi this actually makes a lot of sense but like The Best Voice replied, they are not the same crab. But great theory
LEGO Boi i mean its still just a theroy. Yours can be correct or incorrect
You can tell Disney was having fun with his story and the clever little secrets. I think that tomatoa knew Maui when he was alive, and that's why he says he knows him.
The three cycles:
1. No way
2. Hmmmm... Maybe
3. Mind blown
John Keller for me it was more like 1. no way, 2. hmmm maybe, 3. naaah
always
John Keller lol XD
John Keller yes
John Keller lol
You know what's really cute is that Lin-Manuel, who wrote most of the music loved the little mermaid so much that he named his kid Sebastian! 💛
tomatoa even says at the end..
I can't be bothered to look it up and type it
but Google tomato a ending scene after credits
Aisling ignore that
Aisling I think that the sabatian thing was because of him, he has opeanly said that his favorite disney movie was the little mermaid, and i do not belive it has to do with the theory
Aisling Wow!
Aisling oh mai god yes someone who knows Hamilton here! and you like spibbles to :3

Wait-
Can we take a minute to address this theory:
*URSULA THE DRAG QUEEN*
okay continue
Hana Jafari Ursala was based on Devine the drag queen. :)
Hana Jafari zo
lightnings silence lefou
Hana Jafari XD I mean it's basically cannon.
Tera Shewchenko I still loved Ursula... I mean... she was one of the best parts of The Little Mermaid to be honest.
Only one huge flaw with this theory, Tamatoa like all coconut crabs has 10 legs. The final two legs are used for different purposes depending on the gender of the crab but generally relate to mating and releasing eggs, these two legs are held inside the crabs abdomen and are unable to be seen normally unless you witness them using them or dissect them, and with that your theory is null and void, good day.
Tamatoa is also not a coconut crab. He doesn't have the right shape to be one. Coconut crabs are just a giant species of hermit crab, and a hermit crab without a shell has a very specific look. They have a long tubular abdomen that normally holds them in their shells, but coconut crabs get too big to fit in any shells, so they just kinda tuck it under themselves. We see Tamatoa flipped over, and he does not have this tubular abdomen. He also has a pair of flattened back legs, which swimming crabs have but nonswimming crabs, like hermit crabs (and by extension, coconut crabs) lack. Ergo, he is not a coconut crab.
and maui cut of one of his leg
musicman12395 half of the leg is still there
DapperDragon
This same guy said tamatoa is actually a coconut crab so, you are incorrect. Tamatoa even fits the criteria for coconut crabs. 10 legged, collects shiny things, isolated and he even fits the shape of one.
musicman12395 Wow

Malva Malfoy thx very much from snape: hella yeah they're *EVIL*
I thought I was the only one.
All gods ever < A boat
Does anyone ever talk about how Moana kinda screws over her kids by putting a shell on the rock pile. Gonna be hard to balance something on that
D Faria ye I do
I think she meant to do that cause the whole "we are voyagers and fuck this island" theme.
D Faria in the very beginning where Moana was a baby that shell was the was the first thing that the ocean gave to her if you didn't notice I looked at the print and it was the exact same in which I don't know if she remembered that stuff or anything but it was exact same rock or shell
IKR
They can put it around the shell
Almost as powerful as *a boat*
I'm dying 😂😂😂😂😂
I realized that tamatoa might actually be the chief's best friend who died a sea, therefore reincarnated as a crab, and he is looking for power for revenge against moana's dad.
Leslie Emanuel -- I don't think it adds up because Tamatoa was there before Maui lost his hook over a thousand years back and Moana's dad's friend died only a couple decades before the movie takes place. I wish the timelines matched however, because that would rock if he was reincarnated as Tamatoa. 😁😁😁
MJBUNNYGIRL Perez I understand but I would have been cool😆
I hope there's a loophole or something to make it true. I wish it could be. Imagine how much the movie would have changed, maybe for a cooler storyline, if they did that. 😁😁😁
MJBUNNYGIRL Perez if only
LESLI IT MAKES NO SENCE ITS LIKE SAYING TOMATOA IS SHREK
yo! person who mentioned that Riley was possibly adopted. I got a Moana theory you might like.
Ok, so I'm pretty sure Moana and her family are descendents of Te Fiti.
A) Moana and Te Fiti are practically identical
B) her grandma has way too much knowledge on the heart, it's like she is deliberately telling Moana these stories as a toddler to enforce a duty plus she turns into a manta ray and comes back as a spirit to tell moana she needs to continue on
C) Moana shows signs of these mystical powers when she steps into the cave and gers a vision telling her everything about her tribes past
D) both moana ' s Dad and grandma have this intense craving for the ocean too. Her grandma just goes along with it but doesn't do anything and her dad only stopped going to the ocean because his friend died. Which also says something because the ocean clearly didn't want the friend going along but her dad does survive.
E) I did some research and even though the goddess Te Fiti is based on -pele - doesn't have kids, she did have a mortal sister.
Katelynn Hardy I really believe this but it would be traumatizing to kids that moana would be holding her relative's heart
Katelynn Hardy Good theory you get a rock 🗿
Katelynn Hardy nice
Wow great theory!! I really like it!
Katelynn Hardy That sounds very interesting!
"Who gets stabbed by a boat?" Cthulhu. Cthulhu got stabbed by a boat.
Why bring that uuuuuuugggggyly thing
Slightly different situation. Ursula was hit by a heavily damaged (therefore slow moving) wooden ship. Cthulhu was hit by a much larger, steam powered, ironclad ship, presumably weighing many times more and moving much faster. It’s like the difference between being hit by a bicycle vs. Getting hit by an SUV pulling 30.
Ursela: I want ur voice.
Tamatoa: i want ur weapons for my she
Areil: no ursela *stabs wit da boat.*
Moana: no tamatoa *flips so he cant move*
Moans is based off of Maori AND Polynesian cultures. Moana in Maori literally translates to sea and Tamatoa is Maori for trophies. That is the more likely reason he has his name.
Tamatoa = Mr. Krabs confirmed
DilbugAnimations 😂😂😂😂
DilbugAnimations lol
DilbugAnimations 😮
but, are you feeling it?
OKAY
hey supercarlinbrothers. I want to put up an interesting point for when at about 1:50 or so, you were talking about how tomatoa (excuse spelling) and the grandma were both reincarnated, but the grandma glowed and he didn't. Well, technically he did. when she was glowing, it was at night and it was dark. during his song, he hit the wall and caused a shell to close off the entrance at the top, blocking the light. he then started to glow purple.. along with all his treasure glowing what color? blue! so, maybe they only glow in the dark? makes sense to me
“Purple is a weird color to be”
Eggs Benedict nervously sweating
But Tamatoa is OLD. He met Maury before that one thousand years ban. So he was born AT LEAST thousand years ago. So unless you think Moana takes place in far away future, he can't be Ursula reincarnation.He could still have met her at some point and even be friends with her, why not?
Leaselmary_Sims Maury...?
It’s *Maui.*
Voiced my thoughts. Thank you
I like to image Tamatoa on Maury. You are NOT the father =)
And in the beginning, when the grandmother tells the story you can see him as one of those who are trying to get the heart...
He probably wasn’t reincarnated, he could’ve just been a normal coconut crab that Ursula’s spirit had eventually taken over.
It's an interesting theory, except for a few things:
First going back to the timeline theory, in the span of 1000 years, depending on the when in time this happened, then there would have been some influence from European explorers who sailed through the Pacific. In the case of the Little Mermaid, i say it it set between the 1600's-1700's, then again it is a fairy tale and time and what century it is is irrelevant. But, by the time the Europeans came around to the Pacific, all the islands were inhabited by the Polynesians, So before Ursula would have been killed in the Little Mermaid. Also an image of Tamatoa is seen in the prologue when Gramma Tala is telling the story; he's one of the monsters who sought Te Fiti's heart. He was around 1000 years prior to the beginning and even long before that, because Maui and Tamatoa crossed paths when Maui ripped off his leg and he would have needed his hook for that.
Second and not as big as a critique, but directors and studios love to reference past work and movies. Maui momentarily changes into Sven from Frozen, even though Musker and Clements never directed it, it's still a character from Disney, so of course Sven would get a cameo. the Genies lamp can be seen on Tamatoa's shell and Musker and Clements directed Aladdin, of course they would have that Easter egg put in. And most of all, Genie's lead animator hand animated Mini-Maui. Disney likes to throw easter eggs and references from past projects in their movies, so Tamatoa speaking of Sebastian, a fellow crab, is meant as a jab or joke. It's like Spider-man referencing Empire Strikes back (Now that Disney owns Star Wars); while it's fun to think or entertain that all the Disney movies are part of one massive universe, it's all just for fun.
And thirdly, While Tamatoa's name sound similar to Taotao Mo'na, that is not how Tamatoa got his name. His name in Maori literally means 'Trophies' and his obsession with shiny and magical objects is proof. Maui himself said it: 'He's a scavenger. He collects stuff, thinks it make him look cool.'
So, I'll entertain the idea that Tamatoa may be Ursula's incarnation, I don't think that's the case here.
Stephanie Katseyeanis thank you for this.
Stephanie Katseyeanis hell no im not reading it
+SauleCaikate same
+CadencetheClever LOL
Cadence the Clever same
The grandmother in the dark glows but in the light she looks like a normal stingray and when tamtoea is in the dark he lights (and when the shell closes) up like the grandmother did and he also looks normal in light
Did you really well I guess we can start our own theory together
odog396 but tomatoes can control which part of him glows because he made his antenna have a moving pink stripe pattern so if he covered himself in the glowing stuff he wouldn't be able to control it
odog396 but he would have glown green plus why would he want to roll around In that
Tomatoa also said something about the DIAMOND IN THE RUFF line in Aladdin.
He is Aladdin reincarnated as a crab sea god
Maui also turns into Sven.
GBNSN 5Life
It's just a reference
One problem is that Maui was stuck on that island all those thousand years. Which also means that he would have had to have met Tamatoa before his imprisonment, in order to have the kind of antagonistic relationship we see.
dude in video: he's another character from an underwater Disney movie
me: *ARIEL!?!?*
Dude: Ursula
me: oh.
Nova Space Heroes dude name is jay
Nova Space Heroes same 😂
Nova Space Heroes
I went Davy Jones?! 00
Nova Space Heroes yeah I thought Ariel too 😂
I think that Tamotoa is the best sea Disney villain
Agree
Misterioosa Shinee agree and i love your starco pic
ikr I love his post end credits clip.
ikr!the one about the little mermaid
Misterioosa Shinee ikr his song shiny is so oooooh catchy
Ha ha he said inevitable endgame reference
Thanos is purple
You made a reference in a shoutout
We kind of know when Moana takes place, the story was written as something of an explanation for why the Polynesian people stopped wayfinding for about 1000 years, an event which ended shortly before Hawaii was settled for the first time somewhere between the 11th and 14th centuries, well before the timeline of The Little Mermaid.
something i noticed; the manta ray actually only glows during the night scenes, but in the day, it seemed like an ordinary manta ray. tamatoa actually doesn't start glowing until he closes the 'skylight'.
I love the immense detail that movies put into the lore of their films. Even small things like this.
I LOVE the idea that Tamatoa was the reincarnation of Ursula. That theory works for me.
I prefer the theory that Tamatoa is a previous master of the genie.
did you just make that up or somenone else be interesting to hear the reasoning
I like that one too! It's rather interesting I think! I believe it.
tanner moore Another youtuber did a video on it, give it a search it's quite convincing.
I think there is some substance to that theory but it's not nearly detailed enough to be conclusive. It's mostly speculation. I'd appreciate if more research could be done into this.
Why cant they both be true?
He's obviously David Bowie reincarnated as a crab, Think
Valdez Saihttam 😂yess
I see David has another alter ego.
Valdez Saihttam He's Ebirah's cousin.
Avatar Aang reincarnated into Avatar Korra. Gender problem solved.
Aang and Korra both destroyed boats
Ps, I know how bad you guys want to make an avatar theory video but you feel restricted because it isn't Disney.
Corey Brown avatar and moana are two completely different things and reincarnation rules might differ but the only thing that reincarnated was that one white spirit and it was only possible because of that the person in the past life has nothing the do with the next one
I was pretty skeptical until you said that the directors directed both Moana and Little Mermaid. It’s gotta be true
I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not but nah, he says he wasn’t glam until he met Maui, so he can’t be Ursula since shes been that way from the start. Also, little mermaid is set in the 1800’s, way after the time in which Moana takes place.
He said in his song "I was a drab little crab once!) so...I don't know but maybe just a crab?
who ate TOO many fishes...
OR MAYBE HE WAS SEBASTIAN
O_o
carl jeroldson exa
Potato Man Sebastion is a lobster isnt he?
Well it could be a vague reference of just being a boring crab with little to show. Not little in size, considering the movie proves that reincarnation turn them instantly into full-grown animals.
Just a speculation.
I think you forgot something that Maui did that would explain his eight legs. "Well you guys must get along swell" "Not since I RIPPED OFF HIS LEG"
he counted the broken limb.
He forgot that these type of crabs have 2 hidden limbs used for mating (since he's male)
Still ten legs the leg he ripped off one leg off tamatoa he still has half of his leg Get GLASSES!!
Nicole97 if he had 10 legs and one was ripped off it would be nine so learn math idiot
or what if he was ursulas grandson? because after showed intrest in moanas necklace he said he ate his grandma and it took forever because she was absoultly humongous....and ursula was definantly humongous when she died.
So true!!!
In the novelization of the film, Tamatoa states that he ate both of his grandparents.
I don't recall Ursula having any husband or kids before she died.
maybe Ursula ate her grandparents... I'm gonna have to rewatch the little mermaid.
true but she she definantly good at seducing men like prince eric. perhaps his grandfather was a previous victim.
Sara Anderson that's true but tomatoa would of had to eat ursula and then die also after ursula died then he could of ate her cus he couldent eat her when ursula was alive
That makes more sense that it seems to on the surface. Tamatoa did not say that he killed and ate his grandmother. He only said that he ate her. Crabs of all sorts are know to be carrion feeders. After Prince Eric killed Ursula it only makes sense that something would have eaten her. Nature is fussy about not letting things like fresh corpses go to waste.
"She lost to A BOAT"
"Who gets stabbed by a BOAT?!"
When he says "strut my stuff" he shimmies like Ursulla does when she's singing. :D
You should do a colab vid with MatPat and Seamus Gorman.Also, Maui knew Tamatoa BEFORE the 1,000 years of isolation. Explain that, please.
Alexis Welsh Y S YES YS YES YES YES YES
Omg you're right!
Alexis Welsh yessssss Seamus Gorman please!!!!!
Also for this theory to be true it would have to take place after MLM which is approximately in the 19th Century... meaning that the movie takes place in at least the year 2800!
What's even worse about this theory is Moana is set 2000 years ago. I think they forgot about that fact.
We all know who Tamatoa really is, it’s Schrafilla Productions.
Yes
To be honest, I literally thought you were going to say that it was Hades.
I have never clicked so fast in my whole life omg
Raven Said you from the south
Raven Said same!

Same
Raven Said me either

Coconut crabs do have 10 legs the other two are hidden under their tail (used to 'hop on' their mates if u know wut I mean)
Ooh yeah ... They like to play leapfrog
martin sanchez eyyyyyy
plus didn't maui say he ripped off one of his legs?
Skyla Dudley yeah he did but I think he counted that one
Skyla Dudley because it was how much he has as a coconut crab if you get what I mean
Omg I just noticed J's eyes are different colors 😍😍

Maui breaks the fourth wall by winking to the audience when referring to Hei Hei as a boat snack after trapping Moana in the cave.
that's what I like to call
FOURTH WALL BREAKER'S!!!!!
like sugar cooki152's because it's so true.
Here's a theory. Tamatoa and Maui obviously have more history than what's shown in the movie. The fact that Tamatoa can speak and act as a human while in animal form, where no other animal / creature speaks including moanas grandma while she is in manta ray form, tekka, or any other creature, suggests to me that he was once human. And the next part of my theory, Tamatoa ended up with the fish hook as a human and tried to use it but got stuck as a coconut crab. Maui found Tamatoa as a crab and they fought and that's when he lost a leg but eventually won, obtaining the hook again. My evidence other than the human speach, Maui should be able to control the hook better than anyone, but after reuniting, he can't get the hook to work properly, suggesting that it takes much work and dedication to get used to it, but Tamatoa gave up and stayed as a crab
Well it's kinda like being king of Earth and dying in an earthquake
Not even. If she died to a tidal wave then that would be equivalent but its more like the king of earth being hit and killed by a car 😂
Blub bree no a RV but still
@@blubbree2263 Makes sense.
I was with you for the whole thing but then with the time frame I thought about how Maui mentioned cutting off one of Tamatoa's legs previously, which had to have taken place before the islanders' 1,000 years of being on one island, therefore throwing the timeline back off.
When tamaotoa looks like a monster from monster inc when he glows
Cookie Chocolate chip OUR SON TAMATOA KINDA GLOWS
tamatoa was glowing because of the stuff in his cave that glows in the dark, you know the same stuff moana puts on a rock to trick him
Rose Hannah yeah cuz he was able to put that stuff all over him in a perfect pattern and even change the colors at will yeah uhuh
The point of that part was the reason he wasn't blue and glowy doesn't matter because at the end the grandmother isn't blue and glowy either.
Its glowworm poop
?????
how is that relevant to the video?
Jason Picado if you want me to be more specific, as his emotions change it may secrete a different chemical which may react with the stuff to change colour, and with all his shiny stuff he could have looked at his reflection
Wait- I thought he was moana’s father’s best friend that died-
I thought so to it would make sense right????
That's not possible though. Maui fought Tamatoa years before that, because he was stuck on the island for years too
Clearly he is Darth Maul reincarnated, duh
Obviously... :)
Angie Kk DISNEY just won't let him die, will they :)
Bayden Chiu na
Tamatoa is clearly Snoke.
I don't remember Ursula having a crab tattoo
Maybe it was on her tentacles, and we couldn't make it out?
Very unlikely
Grandma got her ray tattoo because she was certain she'd become a ray. It did not mean that she would for sure, though - she even expresses that.
"U lost to a boat" 😂😂😂
I love how you frame this video. The beginning really sounds like you have actual information revealed by Disney and it’s not just a theory.
I think he's just a monster crab that likes all things shiny. :v
Also I think Moana takes place before Little Mermaid.
MittensTheCat so true
XD
The Egg the Ursula is the reincarnation :0
The Egg I would personally say that if he wasn't Ursula, Then he knew who she was. The fact that these writers were the same for both movies just explains how he knew who Sebastian was, but not much else.
FOURTH WALL!!! YOURE BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!!!!!!!!!
I don't get why moana would have to be after little mermaid. Why couldn't ursula be a reincarnation of Tomato
Aidan JBS oooh what if?
Aidan JBS Lol "Tomato" 🍅 :D
because reincarnation is after you die
Technically reincarnation doesn't follow time as it isn't a part of the real, physical world
I prefer the idea that Tamatoa and Maui had been allies in the past, searching for the Heart, and towards the end of their journey, Tamatoa turned on Maui, stealing his hook and trying to use its power, turning himself into a crab, and he never used the hook again, as he was scared of turning into something less useful. And, well, their battle ended with Maui defeating Tamatoa, but he kept both the Heart and the Hook.
Just counted on several images: Tamatoa is ten legged. Six main legs (three either side) two pincer arm/legs and two teeny weeny little back legs. 6 + 2 +2. Makes 10. Boom baby
26CLT shouldn't he have only 9 tho since his one leg got ripped off by maui?
They grow back eventually
Arthur Schamne oh never knew that lol that's pretty cool tho
The one labeled 2 in this video is partially gone. That's the one Maui ripped off.
i knew it
*If u want to get technical then technically that's an impossible theory. The country of which Little Mermaid takes place is Denmark, the Denmark ships of THAT time are 'ships of the line' of which at this point in time the Polynesians were already starting to Westernize and to start adapting to Western culture... it doesn't add up sorry..*
There are palm trees in the little Mermaid; the movie is not set in Denmark.
Smoucan McFrootLoops The movie is canonically set in Denmark due to the story of the Little Mermaid being set there. Plus the architecture fits. But who's to say how far and how fast merfolk can swim. According to most lore, merfolk are amazingly fast swimmers with high endurance.
The original story is set in Denmark, I know, as a Dane, I grew up on these stories. Also, as a Dane I can see that it in no way looks remotely like Denmark. I wish Disney's version was set in Denmark, but I just can not see that happen. Calypso music, sharks, exotic fish that does not live even remotely close, and also, palm trees, which okay, say they were imported.. Even if they took artistic liberties... There is also a mountain. Denmark is about the flattest country after the Netherlands. I'm not saying I don't want it to be set in DK, but there is not way that's possible.
