Moana’s Sailing Prowess Left on Cutting Room Floor

Moana was a very fun kids movie, with two real heroes and lots of sailing scenes. One thing that bothered me a little was that Moana herself was a pretty lame sailor until the demigod Maui gave her some lessons. Well, as it turns out in some of the earlier storyboards she was a darn good sailor. Not quite sure how the windsurfer/boat thing would have played out anywhere near to believable, but it would have been interesting to see a race in the movie. And perhaps have her teach a reluctant or fearful Maui how to sail.

This cut will be seen as an extra on the DVD version coming out soon.
