If they ever did a sequel to Moana, even a short like Frozen fever, it would be amusing if they needed to return to the World of Monsters only for Maui to be largely ignored and everyone being more curious about the human girl who managed to restore Tafiti, largely because as far as they know Maui last got his rear end kicked by a hermit crab just before Moana maneuvered past a lava monster and plugged the rock back in, plus her supernatural affinity with the ocean, Maui may be physically stronger but she's more of a threat. She didn't need a magical fishhook to help.

If I had written it, Te Fiti would have given him a new artifact, say a magic spear, that had similar powers. It shows that while things can be healed they're never quite the same as before.

One other option is Maui gets a new hook, with an emphasis on new. His old hook was covered in carvings, and on the tip was the very simple carving that looked like the very simple tattoo the one villager was getting. If Maui got a new hook with only the simple fish carving it would imply he needs *adventures* to get more carvings.

There could be a weekly animated show of Maui Adventures. They brought back Duck Tales, it could work.

If nothing else Shiny has me convinced that the world desperately needs a musical Shadow of the Colossus boss battle game where you climb on increasingly flamboyant monsters and attempt to slay them while they sing to you. C'mon Disney give us the Maui god of war game everybody deserves.

Only if there is a sidescrolling platforming section where your having to jump on the lyrics to get to the other side of the arena - the trick is you need to keep the tempo - now you are the bouncing ball :3:

Edit: One of the bonus bosses is a previous character who has made themselves enormous through some sort of magical 'mech' but with no consistent visual thesis. Tamatoa helps you defeat him out of principle - with Maui's tattoos and Tamatoa's shiny shell they each have a consistent theme to their thing. This guy however, is just a mess, and not visually appealing at all and Tamatoa just hates that.

It would be neat if, after beating Tamatoa, he became an Issun-like (think Okami) companion. Who hangs around not really helping out but just complaining about and criticizing/critiquing the increasingly garish monsters. At first, it's mosly fun. He likes what these bosses are doing with themselves but they could use some work/refining. But as the bosses start getting ludicrously over designed and Final Fantasyesque, with like loving chandeliers hanging off them and poo poo, Tamatoa grows increasingly offended with each encounter. Until one monster design just goes too far and he joins in the fight out of principle. (Like suggested in Bio's quoted post.)

Step further - giving advice in the earlier fights by talking directly to the bosses about their design- "The floral motif is fascinating, but imagine just how... flammable that getup must be..."

"I like the ornate gold leaf dude but you've left a massive flaw in your right armpit..."

Combine that with the "platforming as the bouncing ball that tells you when to sing the words" idea.

The challenge is initially impossible until Tamatoa takes issue with the song and remixes it into something more aesthetically pleasing--which coincidentally making the platforming much easier.

PYF games that you are sad will never exist...

Edit: Sidequest idea - early in the game Tamatoa's shinies get stolen by a bigger monster in his sleep - sidequest: collect all his shinies - I have 2 alternate ways the quest could progress -

1) either you just get back what was stolen and the shell gradually fills in with decorations like the constellation map in Baten Kaitos or

2) you can potentially get more than he initially had, and they only assemble at the end at which point it branches - if you just got the basic stuff to complete the shell he just puts it back, if you get more, he finally sheds his old shell to grow a bigger one so he can fit all the new stuff on it.

You select the wrong option, accidentally press on a truthful statement and Nick has to hold Judy back as she goes on a deranged tirade about "YOU loving PREDATORS ARE ALWAYS LYING!" I think that's what happened in the movie - she selected the wrong dialog option and things went bad.

I read somewhere that he wasn't originally supposed to be dumb, just like a regular chicken sidekick. Except it wasn't funny and nobody cared about Heihei and they were maybe gonna take him out of the movie until they said "What if we just make him really dumb?"

Bingo.

I personally thought they overused Heihei. Comic relief is fine but it felt like every 5 minutes they had to cut to it. That and the weird Fury Road coconut people scene were my only complaints of the film.

I really appreciated that the cute sidekick pig was not actually the sidekick, and that the dumb chicken never did anything incredibly pivotal

I love a million things about Moana and it's probably my favorite Disney movie ever now.

But I really like how it's like a bizarro-world Little Mermaid, even considering it had the same director team.

Ursula is one of my favorite Disney villains, and Poor Unfortunate Souls is easily top 5 villain songs as well.
