Not only does it cover real Pacific Islander mythology, but it's based on the real-world thousand year period where anthropological evidence suggests they completely stopped traveling between islands. They were voyagers, stopped for a full millennium, then began voyaging again, and nobody knows why.
When this movie came out talked to a Polynesian friend of mine and he said they did right by the Culture. He said the only thing "wrong" was Maui. He was too Small. In their faith He was nearly 8 feet tall with oh so many MORE Muscles with a bigger Ego. So 5 Gold Stars to Disney.
Maui is different in every Polynesian culture. For us Māori, Maui was actually slim and not bulky. He was also very naughty, kinda similar to Loki of Norse mythology in a way. Even our children’s stories didn’t shy away from all the bad things he did. He had siblings and his hook was made from his grandmothers ( Murirangawhenua ) jaw bone, she gave/gifted it to him
@@1313__Shinobi and in mythology he actually diers because he tries to steal immortality for humanity from Hine-nui-te-pō by entering her vagina but is crushed by her obsidian vag teeth
The scene where the ocean parts & Te Kā comes racing across the seafloor towards Moana, only for her to see what she really is and help her break through the pain and rage is one of the most well-crafted and beautiful moments in animation, period. The same goes for the "I Am Moana" sequence.
For me it’s literally impossible to not cry multiple times at this movie, and I’m not even part Pacific Islander. Especially at the scenes of Moana’s grandma passing away and then singing with her to lift her back up.
that just prove that no matter what race, ethnicity , religion, gender we are all connected. We nee to find a way to work on that more our connection :)
Auli'i Cravalho was only 14 when she first got cast... All of Hawai'i is so proud of her... The voice of Moana's mother (Nicole Scherzinger) is also from Hawai'i, and although the Rock wasn't born in Hawai'i, his mom was, and he attended public schools in Hawai'i for four years...
and photos of The Rock's maternal grandfather in his Polynesian Chieftan wrestling costume were used as reference for Maui. Again, not Hawai'i but closer culturally/geographically
There’s a hilarious clip on TH-cam of Alan Tudyk recording his lines for Hey Hey the chicken and at the end he says while laughing “I went to Juilliard”🤣🤣
Dwayne Johnson was perfect as the voice of Maui, he captured his personality perfectly especially when he does his Battle Cry every time he's in the moment that calls for it
Also my best friend told me that for the animation of Moana's hair (and the other's curly hair) that they invited a bunch of curly haired people and asked them to essentially flip their hair for the animators lol
The part that gets me every time is when Moana is package things to leave and her mother catches her. Instead of trying to stop Moana, her mother just puts a few more things in the bundle and hands it to her.
Opetai Foa'i, who wrote much of the music for the film, sings Tokelauan in "We know the Way". Look up his long-established group, Te Vaka (the canoe). Wonderful stuff, and expect more of it in Moana 2.
Remember watching this with my entire family the day it came out. As Samoans this film meant so much to us, seeing how beautiful our cultures, customs and history were portrayed was something else. Both my Grandparents passed away in 2022 so this film will always hold a special place in me and my families hearts❤
That song and moment reminds me of a scene in a show that gives the same feeling except more understated. Student: (is looking at a bully he has defeated, taking back his power) He is so small. His name belongs to no one. Teacher: And who does your name belong to? The world? The future? Student: No. It belongs to me.
I am so grateful when this came out and showed true Pacific islander representation. My whole Samoan family was able to book a whole cinema and watch it together. Still one of my fave memories of all time. ❤
I remember seeing it twice in the cinema when the film was released... Because it was and is very moving, I was always moved by the culture, the animation, the history and songs. It is a beautiful film and yes, it always moved me to tears.
The language is Tahitian, which is part of the Polynesian group of languages. Polynesian languages belong to the larger Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family. Malayo-Polynesian languages include those spoken in Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, most of Indonesia, parts of Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as Madagascar’s native language. The Austronesian homeland is believed to be Taiwan, where the non-Malayo-Polynesian branches of the language family are still found today. This means that while Malayo-Polynesian languages spread far across the Pacific and Indian Oceans, the other Austronesian branches stayed localized to Taiwan. Edit: I some how forgot to mention Samoan, Tokelauan, and Tuvaluan
The song in which he queried the language being "barely used or Aramaic" was We Know the Way which has a bit of Samoan, Tokelauan and English. Tokelauan is a living language, it's just that there are relatively few residents of that nation compared to world standards.
@I was just letting them know about the languages. I didn’t even comment when he asked. I waited until near the end of the movie to say anything. I don’t make comments midway through reactions.
The end and the beginning where she's a baby always makes me cry. I promise you Moana saved Squirt and reunited Squirt with Crush from Finding Nemo!!! I'm excited to see Moana 2! 😭😭💗💗💗
Even though he only appears for one scene, Tamatoa is still one of my favorite modern Disney villains, and "Shiny" is one of the single greatest vilain songs ever. Ron and Jon were like, "we may not have a traditional villain in this movie, but we're making a traditional villain song anyway." Jermaine Clements' vocals are so good.
Facts! He was perfectly cast & nobody could have pulled off Shiny like him. My nephew was about 4 when this came out and it was played daily so I learned the words and would sing along.
Fun theory: Only demons and gods and the dead can go into the realm of monsters. If Moana isn't a god or a demon, then she was dead. When she completed the journey, Tafiti brought her back. Went to Hawaii last year, and one of the locals told me.
@@houseofaction ok mr smart ass. You must be fun at parties lmao. Girls sure love you lol. So tell me how she was able to go into the realm of monsters?
It's a theory but it doesn't make sense because we would've seen her die.....the ocean just choose her and use its powers to protect her she is still human
*I love Moana's development, but Maui's personal growth was amazing. From being such a vain, self-absorbed, borderline narcissistic demigod to becoming a kind-hearted and loving friend and mentor is awesome, plus hearing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson sing is pretty damn badass. I love how they cast Nicole Scherzinger (lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls) as Moana's mother.*
This is a modern classic and you guys really connected with it. Achara must have been touched on a deeper level maybe with something in her own life (grandparents?)
The Amount of Easter eggs are here so funny to me. My niece always loves to catch them. The sloth from Zootopia, the snowman monster from Frozen the Snowman, Olaf, Sven the reindeer Wreck-It Ralph the genie lamp are all in this movie
Kia ora from NZ ....oh Jaby you are hilarious .... im totally enjoying your reactions .. i have always enjoyed/loved watching Achara thank you guys for all you work to entertain us
For a second I thought she said something else, I had a friend he once told me that his friend heard a saying that was once said to his sister by his grandmother, who once heard it from a daughter of an educated scholar niece.
Another interesting fact about Moana...the soundtrack somg for the part where Moana was a baby and collecting shells....The song was a tribute for students who died in a fire at a boarding school in Tuvalu at the year 2000
The Kakamora are from Polynesian mythology, where they are small, hairy spirits with sharp claws known to be secretive and dangerous. In reality there were short-statured people of the Solomon Islands who are believed to have inspired the myths ... which rather suggests that the Polynesian people in general did not think highly of those specific people. So the way they are depicted in this movie fits reasonably with the lore.
I love message in this story about discovering who you are but also being able to appreciate your culture and still being able to bridge the connection without denying your needs and denouncing your culture.
It's taken me YEARS to watch this movie again. My Granmama crossed the veil in 2020 and we were pretty much each other's shadow. Love the whole movie, but the Granmama passing and her spirit appearing on the boat gut me everytime. Achara's tears at 17:27 was pretty much me watching with yall 🤣😭💜
This movie & Encanto are by far my fave So beautiful! & oh how i wish i could post a picture 😩 Me & my youngest daughter is watching this movie rn!! I’ll run it back with you guys next ⛵️🌊🌸🐚
I watched Moana as an adult. I make no excuses! 😅 It is so beautiful! The scene when baby Moana interacts with the ocean and (almost) gets the heart brought tears to my eyes. Thank for the refresh just in time for new one!
I was waiting for this reaction from you SO desperately and now I think I really NEED the two of you to react to Encanto. Can't imagine to see both of you getting absolutely wrecked at Abuela's backstory.
Very much a stealth remake of Pocahontas, but improved by removing the romantic subplot, the white savior, and also the Grandma figure acknowledging and understanding that saving everything is a lot to put on a child
If the ocean does too much, it would just take from the story itself, like a shortcut. BUT, the ocean actually does everything Moana asks it to do. She doesn't ask for much, but what she asks for, she gets.
Achara is adorable when she cries and i would give her a hug, i love how far i'll go song, it's one of most greatest and well written song in disney history, Achara will be an amazing mother someday
In the original draft the pig Poa came with her instead of HeiHei the chicken. But the focus groups did not like the pig but LOVED the chicken so they decided to have HeiHei be the "animal sidekick".
Nala is princess by marriage. That can be argued as Simba is the prince and Timon and Pumba are his sidekicks Mulan has Mushu Snowwhite has woodland creatures Belles husband is her sidekick technicallly If you believe the theory of Tarzan being Elsa and Anna‘s brother, then he’s a prince and then Jane is his princess Pocahontas has Miko Anna and Elsa have sven Merida has her brothers and mom who are transformed into bears Jasmine has raja Tiana and her future husband are turned into frogs and they have that firefly Ariel has flounder Aurora has ash Cinderella has the mice
- Nala and Simba are not married until he became king. So she`s queen. - Mulan has Mushu, her horse, and the cricket. - Belle`s sidekicks are the household stuff, the chandelier, the clock, teapott etc - the thing about Tarzan is bullshit, since he`s based off a book (which I read), and in this it`s clearly explained who he is. His actual name is Lord Greystoke, from England. (also, why dafuq should a king and queen sail all the way from norway down to the congo, build a treehouse (by themselves ... sure), live there a while and get another baby there, go back on a ship and die. ftw xD) - Pocahontas has Meeko + Flip (the colibri) - Anna + Elsa`s sidekick is mainly Olaf - Aurora: who is ash? I think her sidekicks are the fairies, + maybe the forest animals (owl etc)
I have the Funko Pop of Heihei and Pua together…I think Heihei is funny cute and the pig is adorable! I hope Pua gets to join the adventure in the next film.

Tafiti is base on a mountain in Hawaii. It's like a serpent or something. Went to Hawaii last year and that was what I was told.
probably the reason in the movie, they must of ran out of food.
I didn't know that, that's amazing 💙💚
@@epikh1gh536no it’s not it’s based on a mountain in tahiti and the sleeping lady mountain in micronesia
@chickennoodlesoup3301 so you are saying that local lied to me? A local who is a historian? Who live there all his life
When this movie came out talked to a Polynesian friend of mine and he said they did right by the Culture. He said the only thing "wrong" was Maui. He was too Small. In their faith He was nearly 8 feet tall with oh so many MORE Muscles with a bigger Ego. So 5 Gold Stars to Disney.
Maui is different in every Polynesian culture. For us Māori, Maui was actually slim and not bulky. He was also very naughty, kinda similar to Loki of Norse mythology in a way. Even our children’s stories didn’t shy away from all the bad things he did. He had siblings and his hook was made from his grandmothers ( Murirangawhenua ) jaw bone, she gave/gifted it to him

You again? why are you everywhere 😭 not trying to be rude
Very very true
For me it’s literally impossible to not cry multiple times at this movie, and I’m not even part Pacific Islander. Especially at the scenes of Moana’s grandma passing away and then singing with her to lift her back up.
Animated Grandmas tear out my heart every time. Coco, Abuela Alma, Moana's grandma all get me right in the feels.
@ I can’t watch that ending for Coco without crying so hard I can’t breathe.
that just prove that no matter what race, ethnicity , religion, gender we are all connected. We nee to find a way to work on that more our connection :)
If Achara ever decides to be a mom, she'd make a great one! 🥹 she has such a warm, inviting, calming & loving nature to her & her voice is sweet.
She’s too old now. Having a baby now it will come out brain dead.
Auli'i Cravalho was only 14 when she first got cast... All of Hawai'i is so proud of her... The voice of Moana's mother (Nicole Scherzinger) is also from Hawai'i, and although the Rock wasn't born in Hawai'i, his mom was, and he attended public schools in Hawai'i for four years...

There’s a hilarious clip on TH-cam of Alan Tudyk recording his lines for Hey Hey the chicken and at the end he says while laughing “I went to Juilliard”🤣🤣
Her: crying her eyes out. Him: have you ever played this one zelda game?
Haven't even pressed 'play' yet, but yeah - that tracks
I also appreciated that he didn’t tease her for crying, just handed her tissues.
Dwayne Johnson was perfect as the voice of Maui, he captured his personality perfectly especially when he does his Battle Cry every time he's in the moment that calls for it
It's impossible to hate this movie with a valid reason man. It's such a beautiful story.
My favorite moment is when Moana's grandmother's spirit comes to her and gives her permission to go home if she truly thinks she can't do the quest.
10:17 “How Far I’ll Go” is one of the most beautiful songs in film history. The lyrics, the music, the building rhythm, it’s all perfect.
Also my best friend told me that for the animation of Moana's hair (and the other's curly hair) that they invited a bunch of curly haired people and asked them to essentially flip their hair for the animators lol
The part that gets me every time is when Moana is package things to leave and her mother catches her. Instead of trying to stop Moana, her mother just puts a few more things in the bundle and hands it to her.
I haven't watched moana in years either. I forgot how good it is. The scenes with her grandma are always so sweet.
"Put it in your diaper and go" OMG I LOVE JABY🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watching Achara's Reaction to the Grandmother's scene was truly sweetest reaction I've seen, from 16:30 to 18:30
Jaby was like..geez stop scaring me
A beautiful story. A beautiful message. Beautiful animation. Beautiful music. 10/10.
These guys are literally so funny together like
"What..."
"Huh?"
They are not matching eachother s freak 😂
Opetai Foa'i, who wrote much of the music for the film, sings Tokelauan in "We know the Way". Look up his long-established group, Te Vaka (the canoe). Wonderful stuff, and expect more of it in Moana 2.
What I love about it, was when Moana wanted to give up, her grandmother stood by her side and let her do what she wanted
It had to be her choice. Moana had to find her strength.
Remember watching this with my entire family the day it came out.
As Samoans this film meant so much to us, seeing how beautiful our cultures, customs and history were portrayed was something else.
Both my Grandparents passed away in 2022 so this film will always hold a special place in me and my families hearts❤
I feel like the “I am Moana” song is SOOOOOO underrated
That song and moment reminds me of a scene in a show that gives the same feeling except more understated.
Student: (is looking at a bully he has defeated, taking back his power) He is so small. His name belongs to no one.
Teacher: And who does your name belong to? The world? The future?
Student: No. It belongs to me.
I LOVE THAT SONG
LIKE THAT SPECIFIC SCENE IS TOP TIER
You guys made a funny joke about crush when the baby turtle waved at her but it was confirmed that that was baby crush😁😁
I am so grateful when this came out and showed true Pacific islander representation. My whole Samoan family was able to book a whole cinema and watch it together. Still one of my fave memories of all time. ❤
I was completely 😭 just like the lady the first time I saw this movie. And every time I see the grandma dying scene.
I remember seeing it twice in the cinema when the film was released... Because it was and is very moving, I was always moved by the culture, the animation, the history and songs. It is a beautiful film and yes, it always moved me to tears.
When I saw the movie in packed theater in Hawai'i, everyone clapped at the end, and many cried. Legit treatment from Disney.
Grandma… is a force ghost?… she was a Jedi the whole time?
I just noticed... as many times as I've seen this movie. When everything is restored, they make reference to the Rapunzel flower from Tangled

Edit: I some how forgot to mention Samoan, Tokelauan, and Tuvaluan
Tahitian? The only languages I hear in Moana are Tokelauan, Tuvaluan and Samoan 🫤
@ The song “e fano maira” is a Tahitian song and a few other moments are in it too.
@ e fano maira is a Tahitian song, We Know the Way is in Samoan and Tokelauan, and An Innocent Warrior was originally written in Tuvaluan.
The song in which he queried the language being "barely used or Aramaic" was We Know the Way which has a bit of Samoan, Tokelauan and English. Tokelauan is a living language, it's just that there are relatively few residents of that nation compared to world standards.
@I was just letting them know about the languages. I didn’t even comment when he asked. I waited until near the end of the movie to say anything. I don’t make comments midway through reactions.
Te Fiti is like our mother nature. In reality, her heart was stolen by humans.
The end and the beginning where she's a baby always makes me cry. I promise you Moana saved Squirt and reunited Squirt with Crush from Finding Nemo!!! I'm excited to see Moana 2! 😭😭💗💗💗
It is now impossible to look at Tamatoa and not think of Schafrillas. He owns the character.
I love this grandma!
Even though he only appears for one scene, Tamatoa is still one of my favorite modern Disney villains, and "Shiny" is one of the single greatest vilain songs ever. Ron and Jon were like, "we may not have a traditional villain in this movie, but we're making a traditional villain song anyway." Jermaine Clements' vocals are so good.

@@houseofaction ok mr smart ass. You must be fun at parties lmao. Girls sure love you lol. So tell me how she was able to go into the realm of monsters?
It's a theory but it doesn't make sense because we would've seen her die.....the ocean just choose her and use its powers to protect her she is still human
One of the better original Disney film in the past decade.
Love the songs a ton

Poor Achara, was so emotional during this movie 😢
I'm 92% Taiwanese and 8% Polynesian, so this and Mulan are my Disney jams. And I'm right with Jaby on the caucasian thing, as a joke at least.
4:21 at a Turtle Talk with Crush Someone asked if he was the turtle she saved he said that was his very very great uncle steve
I love when Maui turns into the hawk that he keeps his long hair.
That intro conversation was too good you guys😅❤ support from South Africa
I am still shocked that there is an island like that in real life. 51:17
Set photos for the live action just leaked and YES it’s him (only in a suit to give him the muscle size and the amount of tattoos)
This is a modern classic and you guys really connected with it. Achara must have been touched on a deeper level maybe with something in her own life (grandparents?)
The Amount of Easter eggs are here so funny to me. My niece always loves to catch them. The sloth from Zootopia, the snowman monster from Frozen the Snowman, Olaf, Sven the reindeer Wreck-It Ralph the genie lamp are all in this movie
Does anyone notice that Moana's grandma gets older as it used to be but the chicken didn't change at all 😂😂😂😂
Kia ora from NZ ....oh Jaby you are hilarious .... im totally enjoying your reactions .. i have always enjoyed/loved watching Achara thank you guys for all you work to entertain us
I don't know if you changed editors but the edit on this is so goood. I laughed my ass off 😂
He had the haka in this fast 8 and Hobbs and Shaw
For a second I thought she said something else, I had a friend he once told me that his friend heard a saying that was once said to his sister by his grandmother, who once heard it from a daughter of an educated scholar niece.
This is one of my favourate disney films along with tangled and coco. Love watching them with my daughter
Another interesting fact about Moana...the soundtrack somg for the part where Moana was a baby and collecting shells....The song was a tribute for students who died in a fire at a boarding school in Tuvalu at the year 2000
The chicken and the grandma...the two true heroes of this movie!!
Just watched MOANA 2 today and wanted to visit Moana again! luckily saw this ;)
The Kakamora are from Polynesian mythology, where they are small, hairy spirits with sharp claws known to be secretive and dangerous. In reality there were short-statured people of the Solomon Islands who are believed to have inspired the myths ... which rather suggests that the Polynesian people in general did not think highly of those specific people.

I’ve watched this movie so many times. Love it ❤❤❤❤.
Jaby is right about Moana👍🏾
One of the greatest animations of all time ❤❤
I love message in this story about discovering who you are but also being able to appreciate your culture and still being able to bridge the connection without denying your needs and denouncing your culture.
It's taken me YEARS to watch this movie again. My Granmama crossed the veil in 2020 and we were pretty much each other's shadow. Love the whole movie, but the Granmama passing and her spirit appearing on the boat gut me everytime. Achara's tears at 17:27 was pretty much me watching with yall 🤣😭💜
i came for the chicken,rizz dancing boy and shiny crab.
hey hey is giving me cat vibes, 😅, doing cute crazy things
Alan Tudyk must have had so much fun voicing HeiHei lol
This movie & Encanto are by far my fave So beautiful! & oh how i wish i could post a picture 😩 Me & my youngest daughter is watching this movie rn!! I’ll run it back with you guys next ⛵️🌊🌸🐚
And coco also
I watched Moana as an adult. I make no excuses! 😅 It is so beautiful! The scene when baby Moana interacts with the ocean and (almost) gets the heart brought tears to my eyes. Thank for the refresh just in time for new one!
I was waiting for this reaction from you SO desperately and now I think I really NEED the two of you to react to Encanto. Can't imagine to see both of you getting absolutely wrecked at Abuela's backstory.
Oh god…should we do that to ourselves?
"They stole it, just like everything else" Jaby pls 😂😂😂
Came back to say you guys are going to LOVE Moana 2! I wasn’t a fan of the songs but i cried a lot 🥹🥹 it was a BEAUTIFUL movie 🌸⛵️🌊🥥
“They stole it, like everything else!” 😂😂😂
the discussion on "caucasian" makes me think of the one part in "Hunt For The Wilderpeople" jkfsdd
51:53 Moana looks like Achara!!!! Such a good movie and a wonderful reaction.
I was wondering if Jaby would get the BACKSTORY joke of the Maui origin story being tattooed on his back.
Very much a stealth remake of Pocahontas, but improved by removing the romantic subplot, the white savior, and also the Grandma figure acknowledging and understanding that saving everything is a lot to put on a child
This movie is so great, but it’s kind of a shame that the only memorable songs are “How Far I’ll Go” and “You’re Welcome”. And on occasion, “Shiny”.
Forgot “where you are”
What's the shame? That's 3 songs you mentioned. Sounds pretty good to me
The song she sings i am moana (reprise) when she had the conversation wirh the ghost of her grandma is also so strong...
What do you even mean each song in this movie is memorable in their own way
If the ocean does too much, it would just take from the story itself, like a shortcut. BUT, the ocean actually does everything Moana asks it to do. She doesn't ask for much, but what she asks for, she gets.
16:32 that voice actor that said “CHIEF it’s your Mother” that is a Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steelers TROY POLAMALU
Funny you mention Star Wars... Temuera Morrison who played Jango Fett was the voice of Chief Tui.
They should watch Brother Bear next, it too also shows the way of culture and nature, but excited for the sequel.
Achara accidentally said "Just eat him" and then said just kidding 😂😂😂😂
All I did was look at the wall that’s allowed 👍🏾👍🏾
This grandma is the best
49:25 always reminded me of the scene in The Book of Life when Manolo sings his forgiveness to Toro :')
5:35:”put it in your diaper and go!”😂
Achara is adorable when she cries and i would give her a hug, i love how far i'll go song, it's one of most greatest and well written song in disney history, Achara will be an amazing mother someday
You guys should watch her performance in "What's Love Got To DO With It". Absolutely Amazing!!!!
In the original draft the pig Poa came with her instead of HeiHei the chicken. But the focus groups did not like the pig but LOVED the chicken so they decided to have HeiHei be the "animal sidekick".
If you look at early promotional material, pua the pig was part of the journey and heihei was not broken but angry.
Man Jermaine Clemant was the perfect choice, great casting
Ocean character is mysterious and Jaby has an issue with it 😂
Nala is princess by marriage. That can be argued as Simba is the prince and Timon and Pumba are his sidekicks
Mulan has Mushu
Snowwhite has woodland creatures
Belles husband is her sidekick technicallly
If you believe the theory of Tarzan being Elsa and Anna‘s brother, then he’s a prince and then Jane is his princess
Pocahontas has Miko
Anna and Elsa have sven
Merida has her brothers and mom who are transformed into bears
Jasmine has raja
Tiana and her future husband are turned into frogs and they have that firefly
Ariel has flounder
Aurora has ash
Cinderella has the mice
- Nala and Simba are not married until he became king. So she`s queen.
- Mulan has Mushu, her horse, and the cricket.
- Belle`s sidekicks are the household stuff, the chandelier, the clock, teapott etc
- the thing about Tarzan is bullshit, since he`s based off a book (which I read), and in this it`s clearly explained who he is. His actual name is Lord Greystoke, from England. (also, why dafuq should a king and queen sail all the way from norway down to the congo, build a treehouse (by themselves ... sure), live there a while and get another baby there, go back on a ship and die. ftw xD)
- Pocahontas has Meeko + Flip (the colibri)
- Anna + Elsa`s sidekick is mainly Olaf
- Aurora: who is ash? I think her sidekicks are the fairies, + maybe the forest animals (owl etc)
@ I was reaching for mainly animals
This is emotional 😢😂
Hei Hei is my spirit animal lol
I would love to see Achara's reaction to Khumba.
I will never NOT cry at Moana
I have the Funko Pop of Heihei and Pua together…I think Heihei is funny cute and the pig is adorable! I hope Pua gets to join the adventure in the next film.
immediately crying too haha
Is Achara already a mom? Coz if she's not yet, i think she'll be a lovely mom.
