The video discusses a theory about the Disney movie "Moana", suggesting that the main character, Moana, is not a mortal but a demigod. The theory is based on various elements of the movie, including Moana's relationship with water, her ability to survive dangerous situations, and her lineage. The video suggests that Moana's name, which means "ocean" in several Pacific languages, is a hint of her divine nature. The theory also points to Moana's mother, Cena, whose name is similar to a famous maiden from Polynesian mythology. The video concludes with a surprising revelation: Moana's mother is actually the goddess of the stars, and Moana's pet pig, Pua, is actually her brother, Kamapua, who was transformed into a pig by Maui, the trickster demigod. The video ends with a call to action to subscribe to the channel for more theories.
