{{ | Maui first appeared in the Walt Disney Animation Studio's fifty-sixth animated feature, ''{{w|Moana (2016 film)|Moana}}''. In the film, it is revealed he was tossed into the sea by his parents, who did not want him. Maui was subsequently found by the gods, and they granted him a magical fish hook that made him a demigod. Maui returned to the people and granted them their every desire. He even stole the Heart of Te Whiti for them, but this act created the lava demoness Te Kā and cost him his hook. Stranded on an island for the next one thousand years, Maui eagerly anticipated a means of escaping as the world decayed around him. | ||
During the events of ''Moana'', Maui is found by the titular character, who orders him to board her boat and restore the Heart of Te Whiti. The demigod only agrees to do so once he retrieves his fish hook from a giant crab, Tamatoa. With his hook restored to him, Maui gradually warms up to Moana and teaches her to become a wayfinder. The two manage to overcome Te Kā, restore the Heart of Te Whiti, and save the world. | |||
