Maui

Maui is a fictional character from Walt Disney Animation Studios' 56th animated film, Moana. Created by directors Ron Clements and John Musker, and voiced by Dwayne Johnson, Maui is loosely based on Māui from Hawaiian mythology. In the film, Maui is depicted as a demigod who was abandoned by his parents and eventually adopted by the gods. Development Maui is primarily based on Māui in Hawaiian mythology. Maui's backstory, however, was simplified so that he was an orphan. Eric Goldberg worked on the hand-drawn animation used to depict Maui's living tattoos. During early development, the filmmakers considered the possibility of making the film with hand-drawn traditional animation, but only a few early animation tests were made in that style. In the final cut, only Maui's tattoos are hand-drawn. Voice
