Moana

Moana is the daughter of a Polynesian island chief who feels a deep call to the ocean despite her father's strict rule against sailing beyond the reef. When a blight threatens her people's food supply, she sets out across the Pacific to find the demigod Maui and restore the heart of the goddess Te Fiti. Along the way she battles tiny coconut pirates, a giant glittering crab, and her own self-doubt. It's a coming-of-age story about courage and answering your true calling. For English learners: A2 level with clear American English and Polynesian-inspired songs. Vocabulary includes ocean, navigation, and adventure terms. Maui's faster, more idiomatic speech is a small step up from Moana's, offering balanced practice.
