A millennium later, Moana, daughter of Chief Tui, is chosen by the ocean to return the heart to Te Fiti. Tui takes Moana away from the water’s edge and the heart tumbles to the sand and is lost Moana ignores her father's fears and tries conquering the reef but is overpowered by tidal waves and is shipwrecked back on Motunui.

They are caught in a typhoon and shipwrecked on an island where she finds the stranded Maui, who traps her and steals her ship, but Moana catches up to him with help from the ocean. She demands that Maui return the heart but he refuses.

Moana sets sail in search of Maui, accidentally accompanied by her dim-witted rooster Heihei.

Te Fiti then heals the ocean and islands of Te Ka’s poison Moana reunites with her parents.

Moana takes up her role as chief and wayfinder, leading her people on a voyage, accompanied from afar by Maui (in the form of a giant hawk) and Tala (in the form of a manta ray).

Moana decides to fulfill her destiny, retrieves the heart, and sails back to confront Te Ka. Maui returns and buys Moana time to reach Te Fiti by fighting Te Ka, who destroys his fishhook in the process.

Moana discovers Te Fiti is missing, and realizes Te Ka is Te Fiti without her heart. Moana tells the ocean to clear a path, allowing her to restore Te Fiti’s heart, transforming her back to normal.

Maui apologizes to Te Fiti, who forgivingly restores his fishhook and goes into a deep sleep. Moana bids farewell to Maui and returns home.

The two arrive at Te Fiti’s island, only to be attacked by Te Ka, who badly damages Maui’s fishhook. Maui angrily abandons Moana, who tearfully asks the ocean to find someone else other than herself to restore the heart. The ocean obliges and takes the heart from Moana. Tala’s spirit appears, inspiring Moana to find her true calling.

Polynesian islanders worship the goddess Te Fiti, who brought life to the ocean using her stone heart as the source of her power. Maui, the shapeshifting demigod and master of sailing, steals the heart to give humanity the power of creation. With the loss of her heart, Te Fiti disintegrates, and Maui is attacked by Te Ka, a volcanic demon. He loses both his magical giant fishhook and the heart to the ocean.

Moana’s grandmother Tala shows her a secret cave, where a number of ships are hidden, revealing to Moana that their people used to be voyagers. Tala explains that Te Ka’s darkness is poisoning the island, but it can be cured if Moana finds Maui and gets him to restore the heart of Te Fiti, which she gives to Moana. Tala falls ill shortly after and dies, but not before encouraging Moana to go and fulfill her destiny.
