23 Things For "Moana" Fans That'll Make Even Te Kā's Heart Smile

"What can I say except, 'you're welcome'" —Maui and you to yourself after following your heart to all these great finds.

1. A Moana doll that honestly LOOKS SO BEAUTIFULLLL. OMG, look at her hair! The kiddo you give this doll to will definitely FREAK and listen, if you end up standing the chief's daughter of Montonui on your desk at work because YOU love the doll that much, then what a fabulous desk it'll be.

Target

Heads up, this doll is for folks who are 3 years old and up! It'll come with a removable necklace and headband.

Get it from Target for $10.49.

2. An ocean wave projector so you can explore the love you and Moana share for the sea — even when you can't get to a boat and actual waves right away.

amazon.com, amazon.com

The projector comes with eight light color options, brightness adjustability, an auto-off timer, six nature sound settings (including one with ocean waves with seagulls), and a remote.

Promising review: "I love water reflections and thought this would simulate that experience. Considering the cost, which is reasonable, I am happy with the purchase. There are enough color combinations for me. The programmed sounds are what you would typically find on white noise simulators. I do wish the waves were just waves. This one has seagulls. There is an aux so you can listen to whatever you wish. Now, remember the cost factor. The speaker is okay. You cannot expect the world. I used the blue option and listened to meditation music and I was very happy with the overall effects. Adjusting the angle was a little tough but manageable." —Grohall Family

Get it from Amazon for $27.69.

3. A tiny music box that just may transport you straight onto Moana's boat as she rows away from the little island of Motunui belting, "How Far I'll Go." 🚣 🌊🎶

amazon.com

Promising review: "Wound this little guy up, closed my eyes to immerse myself in a world of Polynesian animation and woke up in a canoe with a chicken. The big guy hasn't showed up yet." —Thisguybuysthings

Get it from Amazon for $11.49.

4. A pair of Moana earrings so you can basically wear her traditional dress whenever you want — dangling from your ears. :)

Just Like We Dreamed It / Etsy

These earrings are from a small shop in the UK founded by a self-proclaimed Disney Lover. Peep this sweet blurb from the owner:

"Disney has been a part of my life since I was born. My love of Disney Movies and the story of Walt Disney excite me and truly make me happy! The Disney Parks (in particular, Disneyland Paris) have played a huge part in helping to bring the magic to life and created lifelong memories. But I can't visit the parks as much as my mind is telling me I need to fulfill my happiness. That is where my love of craft comes in! I love making Disney-inspired crafts from ears to jewelry to plaques, it really passes the time and brings that little bit of Disney magic into the home. I want to share that magic with everyone else, hence the fact that I have opened up this little shop in the hope that I can also cure your Disney blues!" —Chloe Glenister, Owner

Get it from JustLikeWeDreamedIt on Etsy for $14.59.

5. A pretty Te Fiti art print for anyone who's like me and thinks Te Fiti's story is HIGH-KEY one of the most endearing things about the film.

Litttle Era / Etsy

The print is made by a UK-based mom who's inspired by her daughter. Peep her sweet blurb:

"Hi, Cassie here. Just little old me. with a little shop trying to find my way in the world. Created for my daughter to show her anything is possible and you can do anything you set your mind to." —Cassie, Owner

OK now, can we just BASK in the power of Te Fiti's story for a second?! An evil goddess (Te Ka) who's had something taken from her and she's choosing violence every single day until it's returned to her? And when it's returned to her, she transforms into her true nature which is the gentle Mother Nature, Te Fiti?!! So basically, she wasn't evil at all and justified in her anger because she needed her heart to make the world flourish. LISTEN, I CRIEDDDDDD. 😭

Promising review: "This print is absolutely stunning. It looked great online but in person it is 100% better. Photos just don’t do it justice. The artwork is just wonderful and printed on a high-quality card. It truly captures Te Fiti in all her glory and so vibrant." —Naomihumeniuk

Get it from Little Era for $4.65+ (available in three sizes).

6. AND! An elaborate Te Fiti costume for cosplayers who don't mind splurging to nail the lewk. This costume is A DREAMMMMM and I want a ticket to whatever conference you'll be going to in this. Tag me, please? 😭

It's made by a small family-owned business based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam called Molly Nguyen Design. The shop specializes in custom-designed dresses, wedding gowns, Disney-inspired cosplay couture, pageant dresses, and more. Also, guess what? The brand takes commissions!

Promising review (for another cosplay look): "Not only was my dress absolutely stunning and fit perfectly but they also worked with me through everything and kept me informed every step of the way.

Carve Craft Works / Etsy

It's made by a small US Air Force veteran-owned (and family owned!) business based in Estero, Florida. Peep the brand's blurb here:

"Our company all started with a passion for creation and entrepreneurship. We, my wife and I, love to make and design things, see things come from a simple, "You know what would be awesome?" to "Wow, look that that!" Simple ideas can lead to massive opportunities, and that is what we hope to create with our business. An opportunity to continue to create bigger and bolder ideas and see where this journey will take us.

Our plan for the next two years is to save up enough money to upgrade to a larger, more effective laser marking/etching system that will be able to engrave metal. This will open the door for many opportunities to create even more of the ideas we have. The opportunities are endless." —Brandon, Owner

Amigu World / Etsy

Amigurumi is the Japanese crafting practice of crocheting or knitting small, stuffed yarn creatures/toys. Btw, if you stick Tamatoa next to your jewelry in the house, it is you that I stan because YOU GET IT. This stuffed doll is from a Vietnamese woman-owned small business. Peep the blurb from the brand below:

"In the early 2000s, amigurumi made a splash on the Internet. Adorable little bears with huge heads, sleepy kitty cats with long arms, and other brightly colored, almost cartoonish creatures and patterns emerged. It was during this time that I learned to crochet. My mom taught me how to make a granny square and when I turned to the Internet for instructions on different stitches, I became enamored with amis of all sorts!"

Oceano Azure / Etsy

This pendant is made by a small Florida-based shop that specializes in ocean-themed jewelry. The brand also promises to remove one pound of trash from the ocean for every purchase. Gotta stan a small business that wants to make the world a more beautiful place with pretty jewelry and a commitment to keeping our world clean.

20. A colorful tee dedicated to all the signature Disney princess outfits. And look, sure Moana isn't technically a "princess" but she is daughter of a chief — the second Disney gal to be so, btw — and that's literally the same. And yes, you can so use this argument when wearing this tee IRL.
