After having an argument with Maui when his hook got damaged, causing Moana to give the Heart of Te Fiti back to the Ocean, Moana broke down in tears, feeling completely hopeless until Tala’s spirit appeared before her. Moana embraced and apologized to her grandmother who in return apologized for putting too much expectations on her shoulders. When Moana became hesitant in returning home, Tala began singing a song in which she explained the positive traits she saw in Moana while giving her words of wisdom.

Sina also warns Moana that sometimes who they wish they could be is just not meant to be, referencing Moana’s love for the ocean while comforting her daughter. Maui tells Moana that he didn’t want her to come along with him to save Motufetu, because she might die. As they approach his storm, Nalo sends his giant eels to wreak havoc on Moana, with one managing to swallow Moni, and another damaging the sail of the raft. Finding a deserted island to beach the raft on and regroup, it is there that Moana finds the remains of Tautai Vasa’s raft, indicating that he and those with him were killed by Nalo before they could reach Motufetu. Her morale restored, and with Loto having repaired their raft with materials from Tautai Vasa’s, they head for Motufetu, with the plan being for Maui to raise the island, then Moana will touch it, breaking the curse. A thousand years later, the ocean chooses Moana, the daughter of Motunui’s chief Tui, to return the heart to Te Fiti.
Gramma Tala captivates a group of young children with the tale of Te Fiti, the mother island. She explains Moana that Te Fiti has a powerful heart that creates life and gives birth to other islands, setting the stage for the story’s conflict. Moana confides in Tala about her desire to place her stone on the pile, and Tala encourages her.

This only angers Maui, which prompts Moana to confess her own feelings of self-doubt by revealing she is unsure why the ocean chose her. She further explains that despite this, she pushes herself in order to save her dying island, though she can only do so with Maui’s help. Moana offers to lend an ear for the demigod, and Maui eventually opens up to her by revealing he was born a human and was abandoned by his parents. After being adopted by the gods, he became a hero and protected mankind, in hopes of earning the love his parents denied him. Maui admits that he feels worthless without his hook, but Moana sees a true hero in the demigod, regardless of his magical attributes.

She asks him to teach her, and after he refuses at first, the ocean uses one of the Kakamora’s blow darts to numb the demigod, leaving him unable to sail. After much mentoring, Moana falls asleep and has a nightmare in which she watches as her home and parents are destroyed by Te Kā’s curse. When she awakens, she finds that Maui has taken over the boat and has successfully led them to Lalotai’s island.

After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced. Once she followed her grandmother’s advice, Moana discovered she and her people were descended from voyagers who sailed beyond the seas to find new islands. This discovery excited Moana, prompting her to ask her grandmother why they stopped sailing the ocean. Moana heard Tala explain because Maui stole the Heart of Te Fiti, monsters roamed the seas and Te Kā’s curse destroyed islands and made sea voyage dangerous.

When Moana left Motunui to find Maui and restore the Heart of Te Fiti, upon learning she had been chosen by the Ocean to do so, she was surprised to discover that Heihei had stowed away on her boat. She calmed the frantic chicken by assuring him the Ocean was a friend, but became worried when Heihei fell off her boat. Moana managed to rescue Heihei and to prevent him from falling off the boat again, she put him in her canoe’s cargo hold to keep him safe. When coming across a storm, Moana put Heihei’s safety first as she sailed through the storm. Moana first met Heihei when she was a toddler and shared a close relationship with him while growing up on Motunui.
This caused Te Fiti to disintegrate, and Maui was attacked by Te Kā, a volcanic demon. The film’s conclusion underscores the importance of personal bravery and self-discovery. Moana, who begins her journey driven by curiosity, ends up becoming a leader and a symbol of her people’s future. The ocean’s refusal to return the heart directly to Te Fiti initially appears as a plot inconsistency, but it can be understood as a reflection of Te Fiti’s fiery, damaged state—she can’t touch water while in her corrupted form.
Later, when Moana becomes chief, she and her father lead their people in voyaging across the seas, strengthening their relationship as her father finally lets go of his fear of traveling on the ocean. She mournfully confesses her incompetence and demands that the ocean chooses someone else to restore the heart. The ocean accepts Moana’s decision and takes the heart of Te Fiti back into the sea.

Leaving the island without the heart caused it to collapse and a lava monster named Te Kā to appear and confront Maui, which caused his fish hook and the heart to disappear into the ocean. Because of the heart being stolen, the islands Te Fiti created are cursed to lose the life she gave them. After returning the Heart of Te Fiti to the mother goddess, saving Motunui and every other island from dying, Moana returns home where she happily reunites with her mother. Later, when Moana becomes chief, she and her mother lead their people in voyaging across the seas where Moana teaches her mother how to tie ropes to the mast of a boat. Maui encourages Moana to use her new skills and sail the rest of the way, and with the demigod’s teachings in mind, Moana makes it to Te Fiti, much to the delight of a prideful Maui. Maui then takes the heart and flies to Te Fiti, but he is immediately attacked by Te Kā and quickly defeated.
During the ceremony, Moana is nearly struck by a rogue purple thunderbolt from a storm that had mysteriously appeared above the village. In that moment, Moana meets Tautai Vasa, and sees a vision of her village and island being abandoned and overgrown. When she comes to afterwards and explains her vision, once the full story is explained, Moana decides she has to find Motufetu to save her family, people, and island from Nalo’s curse. She encourages Moana to find Maui and restore the heart with her last ounce of strength. Moana reluctantly accepts her grandmother’s dying wish, packs supplies, and takes one of her ancestor’s boats.
As Moana leaves, her grandmother’s light fades out, and her spirit appears in the form of a manta ray, which guides Moana past the reef and into the seas. The ocean carries Moana to Maui’s island, where the two meet and fail to see eye to eye. Maui is more concerned with Moana’s boat, which he steals by trapping Moana in a cave. She uses her wits and agility to escape, and catches up to Maui with the help of the ocean. Moana orders him to return the heart, but upon seeing it, Maui tries to leave the boat, only to be brought back by the ocean. He claims the heart is cursed, something Moana refuses to believe until they fall under attack by a band of pirates called the Kakamora.
