Mo I could really use your help welcome to Ms Mojo and today we're looking at in jokes Easter eggs and other small observations you might have missed in Moana 2 there will be a few spoilers you look like a kidney stone and you look like someone who would know what that is number 10 callbacks Moana 2 establishes early on that we're back submerging Us in references to the previous film finally we're back to who we're meant to be as Moana sings another I want song the sequel revisits many familiar spots including the sacred place where
the island Chiefs Place their Stones Moana also introduces her little sis SAA to the ocean in a moment echoing the first film's opening oh there you are Moana what are you doing you scared me f i want to walk back I know I know Maui Works in plenty of callbacks as well the demigod brings levity to a serious scene with the return of his half shark halfman hyrid Maui later takes on the form of a small fish pretending to have performance issues again giant hawk so serious while we don't get a your welcome repre Maui
Nam drops his song upon arriving at motunui tomatoa even resurfaces in the post credits although he seen shinier days now I know I can be happy as a clown because I'm beautiful baby number nine is hey hey lucky Moana already survived one dangerous Voyage considering that heii made it back in one piece though some may question just how treacherous moana's last adventure truly was our people will rise if you let them last time the chicken made it even by chicken standards heii's intelligence isn't high in the pecking order yet he walks away from numerous life-threatening
scenarios unscathed some might call this dumb luck but perhaps heii himself is lucky case point when moana's crew encounters the kakamura they manage to blow dart everybody other than heii somehow they miss the chicken who AIDS his crew in a brief moment reminiscent of the first film nice work considering that voice actor Alan tudk has been described as Disney's good luck charm it would be appropriate if that luck rubbed off on HEI HEI number eight Maui on the hook after clashing with Matangi Maui is hung out to dry if you try to reconnect the people
of the ocean you will be destroyed well now I kind of miss the Lava Monster we mean that literally as Matangi hangs the demigod from his own weapon waiting for the prey to come along and take a bite Maui has transformed into fish before yet it's easy to miss the irony that he's dangling from an actual Fish Hook we guess Matangi did what Ursula never could make a hero wriggle like a worm on a hook adding to the irony if Maui could just reach his hook he could transform into a worm and get out of
this predicament can I get a CH number seven Maui pulls a Merlin there's a moment in the first film where Maui references tweeting writing with a bird that is when you use a bird to write with it's called tweeting the joke's a little dated since Twitter has since become X but it hinted that Maui might know a thing or two about the future Moana too in enforces this Theory when Maui mentions butt dialing everyone else looks at him with confusion having never heard of a phone let alone a dial okay I feel like there's some
backstory that I need to get caught up on Maui assures them that it'll make sense in another 2,000 years it's similar to Merlin's references to modern-day technology in The Sword and the stone what's that thing up there m oh oh yes of course here we are it's still unclear if Maui can see the future or if he's been there if he's ever visited Bermuda though maybe he ran into Merlin blowing off some steam oh Merlin you're back from B Bermuda yes back from Bermuda and the 20th century and believe me you can have it number
six new outfit it's customary for animated characters to own only one outfit they inexplicably wear every day Dad we're running out of clean clothes it seems like I've been wearing the same red dress forever ever although a few years have passed since the first film Moana is still sporting her iconic red and white Ensemble it's my job as a w finder to finish what they started once Moana sets out on another perilous Journey she decides that new garments are long overdue upon reuniting with Maui the demigod can't help but notice that Moana has a change
of clothes Ma and Moana together again had Maui known Moana was adopting a fresh look he likely would have switched up the leaves he's been wearing for who knows how long it's a Sly jab at how weird it is that animated characters have such limited wardrobes when you're making a sequel though a new outfit is one way to sell new toys number five Matangi voice actress Matangi is among the sequel's most memorable new characters this can be partially attributed to her baddy design complete with vampire-like fangs a Dracula es cape and a tendency to hang
upside down if you try to reconnect the of the ocean you will be destroyed Matangi isn't as bad as she seems her voice actress is also more than meets the [Applause] eye My Love Has Come Along aimi Fraser is a name that most North American audiences probably aren't familiar with yet she previously voiced two major Disney characters albeit not in the English language for the mai dub of Frozen Fraser lend her voice to Elsa Disney kept Fraser in mind while casting the mai dub for Encanto and listing her to voice Dolores Matangi is her first
English speaking Disney role although Fraser also voices the character for the mai version number four bringing the pig when the original Moana came out the titular character's pet pig Pua was heavily featured in everything from the posters to the trailers not so bad some were surprised when Pua barely appeared in the film getting left behind as Moana embarks on her Adventure the filmmakers considered having Pua accompany Moana but writer Jared Bush felt it would be more powerful if the heroin left everyone she loved behind while it made sense in terms of character development many felt
po was prominent in the ads was false advertising Moana 2 establishes from its opening scene that Pua is coming along this time you wanted to come this time there was even a moment from the teaser that didn't make it into the finished film where Maui asks Moana what we were all thinking boat snack oh boat snack upgrade bacon and eggs why didn't you bring the pig last time number three Moana bees SAA isn't the only one obsessed with her big sister sis f it Moana has something of a fan club back on her Island they
even have their own puup although this pig has been more wellfed when Maui arrives on moui he gives the girls a clever name the Moana bees this joke is even Wittier knowing who voiced two of the young fans they're Dwayne Johnson's daughters Jasmine and Tiana who fittingly share the same names as two Disney Princesses while they screen time is brief Jasmine and Tiana show they've inherited their father's sass telling Maui that he isn't as big as they imagined I thought you'd be bigger yeah like a lot bigger maybe Maui is just jealous that moana's a
bigger deal on this island than him number two Princess Moana one of the best in jokes from the first film saw Maui lay out all the reasons why Moana is a princess despite technically being a Chief's daughter okay first I'm not a princess I'm the daughter the chief same difference no if you wear a dress and you have an animal sidekick you're a princess Maui brings up the argument again in the sequel with Moana continuing to insist that she's not a princess in possibly the most meta moment Maui responds a lot of people think you
are it's true as viewers generally regard Moana as a princess even if she's not royalty our people will rise if you let them can you blame us she appeared alongside the Disney Princess es in 2018s Ralph breaks the internet the following year Disney officially made Moana part of their princess lineup you can deny it all you want Moana but we don't think you're a princess we know you are before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to be notified

to his victories and the tapestry here in my skin is a map of the victory I win likewise moana's tattoos represent everything she's accomplished over the past two movies with even more Adventures on the horizon and Newfound demigod Powers moana's entire body could one day be covered with tattoos until we inevitably get Moana 3 the character's arm of achievements is a testament to how far she's come and will continue to [Music] go for [Laughter] [Music] are there any other details we missed show us the way in the comments bring it on COC nuts do you
