Moana/Ships

= Guyana =  Guyana is the het ship between Guy and Moana Waialiki from The Croods and Moana fandoms. Aka, Guyoana

Canon
Guy is from the DreamWorks film The Croods while Moana is from the Disney film she shares the same name with, meaning that their paths will never cross in canon. For them being from two separate film companies and series.

Fanon
Guyana was one of the first Moana ships to come into existence, from how it was created long before the 2016 Disney film was released. That is why many of the first Guyana manips and YouTube videos were made from screengrabs, gifs and renders that were from the first Moana teaser trailer, rather than the official ones that came after it. The idea for this pairing was believed to have started from the way that their skin color looked to be of a similar shade to one another, as it got people to think that it makes Guy and Moana look cute together. The current attention on the crossover ship, however, has died down ever since the Disney film that helped to start it was released. Since people getting to know Moana and her character since then had got them to start shipping her with other characters. Like Maui, who is from her Disney film, and Ariel from The Little Mermaid, for them simply being Disney Princesses of the ocean. Along with the second The Croods film and TV series making Guy's canon ship much more popularity on his end, when people aren't shipping him with Merida. This is could be why not many people know that this Disney/DreamWorks crossover ship exists.

Even though both Guy and Moana are part of the main and sub-fandoms of Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons, Guyana doesn't have a large presence in it. A few supporters of the ship might have featured it in the crossover fandom in the past, but recently has been no sign of the ship beside other the ships or characters that are also apart of it this far.

= Heioana =  Heioana is the friend ship between Heihei and Moana Waialiki from the Moana fandom.

Canon
Moana had first met Heihei when she was a baby and he was a little chick, who was odd and always found himself in trouble or danger. Resulting in Moana looking out for him and literally pulling the rooster out of the fire. As seen in the song, "Where You Are" when Heihei tries to nest himself on the colas that Moana and Sina were cooking food with.

Fandom
= Heioanaui =  Heioanaui is the friend ship between Heihei, Moana Waialiki and Maui from the Moana fandom.

Canon
Just as Moana was told stories about Maui and his role in stealing the Heart of Te Fiti as a baby, she had also met a little Heihei as an infant.

Fandom
= Mauatoa =  Mauatoa is the slash ship between Maui and Tamatoa from the Moana fandom.

Canon
Long before the events of the 2016 film, Maui and Tamatoa were friends who got a long. Until Maui ended up taking one of Tamatoa's legs off, ending their friendship. Along with the fact that Maui is a demigod hero who is loved by mortals, while Tamatoa is a monster who would warm them. At some point after Maui's lost his magical fish hook from fighting Te Ka, after stealing and then losing the Heart of Te Fiti, Tamatoa found Maui's hook and made it the crown jewel of his collection of shiny treasures he decorates his shell with. Maui knew of Tamatoa's fondness for shiny objects and how Tamatoa wouldn't resist to gets his pincers on it, while the powerless demigod got himself trapped on an island for years. Until Moana and her boat helped him to escape from it.

Fanon
The slash ship is mostly due to their former friendship, despite the fact that Maui is a former human turn demigod and Tamatoa is a giant crab monster. The two being separate species, a "person" and an animal, is one of the main reasons people would rather prefer to ship them as friends than lovers. Tamatoa being a crab that can sing had got some people to make jokes about him being Maui or Moana's evil Sabastian.

Fandom
= Moanala =  Moanala is the family ship between Moana Waialiki and Gramma Tala from the Moanafandom.

Canon
Moana was the only child to not cry from her grandmother's story when they get too scary. She enjoyed learning about Te Fiti, Maui and how a hero will get the disgraced demigod to return the heart he stole from the island goddess, which would undo the curse that was released by Te Ka. After Moana wondered off while Tui was trying to clam the other children down, Tala saw the spirit within the ocean playing with her baby granddaughter before giving her the Heart of Te Fiti. Making her the hero Tala mentioned in her story. Because Moana was too young to understand this or to set out on the journey across the sea, Tala decided to keep the small green stone Moana dropped safe within the necklace. That way the heart will be well looked after while Moana takes her time to grow from a child to a teenager. Tala supporting Moana fondness for the ocean and wants to sail on it has her forming a strong bond with her grandmother. Who teaches Moana a dance that is based on the movement of the ocean's waves. Watching Moana grow also has Tala notice that she is in fact her father's daughter. After Moana decided to embrace her future role as the next chief, however, she started to spend less time with Tala, who many but her see the island crazy lady.

Fanon
Moanala is seen as one of the main familyship ships of the Moana fandom. From how Tala understands Moana better than her parents and continues to be apart of Moana's life after she passed away. Making Tala one of the favourite grandparent characters of a Disney Princess, next to Mulan's grandmother. Some fanworks of Moana include a ray to reference to Gramma Tala and her ray form.

= Moanna =  Moanna is the femslash ship between Moana and Anna from the Moana and Frozen fandoms.

Canon
As Anna and Moana are from different series, they have never met. In Ralph Breaks the Internet Anna and Moana are briefly seen standing close to each other as they talk with Elsa, before Vanellope glitches her way into the princesses' dressing room.

Both Anna and Moana set themselves on a journey in order to save and help their people. Before they left their homes, the two had displayed their leadership skills, but a small part of them felt that they weren't ready to take up their family's role. Until their journeys came to an end and they used what they learned to become the Queen and Chief they were meant to be. Just as Moana was able to help Maui regain control of his shapeshifting ability, Anna's love for Elsa is what helped her older sister fully control her ice magic. The two have their homes close to water. Before the two had met Maui or Elsa's new spiritual friends, Moana and Anna were told stories about them from Tala and Agnarr.

Anna longs to live a life where the gates are open, just as Moana dreams of being allowed to be on the open ocean. The two also wish that they could have a happier and closer bond with Elsa and Tui, which they get at the end. Another thing that Moana and Anna have in common is that they aren't afraid to take part in a fight, even when their opponent is a giant they'll find away to slow them down while making their escapes.

Fanon
A rarepair, the ship became part of the newly renamed  fandom and its sub-fandoms. The pairing also has some CGI mashup art and fanart made out of them.

= Moelsa =  Moelsa is the femslash ship between Moana and Elsa from the Moana and Frozen fandoms. AKA: Moalsa, Elsana, Molsa

Canon
As Elsa and Moana are from different series, they have never met. Even though Ralph Breaks the Internet does give the two a brief scene of them standing close to one another as they and Anna were having a chat between the three of them, before Vanellope enters the Disney Princesses' dressing room by glitch.

Similar to how Moana has formed a strong connection with the spirit that resides with the South Pacific ocean, Elsa tames a horse shaped water spirit that is entirely made out of water and magic alone. Giving both Moana and Elsa a common link through their own magical entity friends of living water.

Fanon
The ship is believed to have begun sometime around the release of Moana. After the release of the teaser Frozen II trailer, it had inspired fans to make fan-made works of Moana helping Elsa during her failed attempts to run across the ocean's surface. Some of these fan works include Ariel, who has also been shipped with the two on separate occasions, along with having the mermaid aid Moana as they help Elsa together. The ship is part of the  and its sub-fandoms. In a few AUs, Elsa and Moana have been cast as Marinette and Alya from Miraculous Ladybug. Along with a elements AU giving both girls elemental powers, like the Avater series fandoms where they're both commonly seen as waterbenders.

A few fans create manips of Elsa wearing her green dress when pairing her with Moana. Along with using screenshots and renders of Moana or any of the other people from her Disney film, so they can feature Elsa as a fellow Wayfinder or a member of Moana's tribe. Their have even been a few manips and artwork of Moana in Elsa's main blue dress, and vice-versa, for fun.

A snowflake is seen as Elsa's personal mark while the swirl on Te Fiti's heart is viewed as Moana's. The two marks are sometimes placed beside each other for some Moana and Elsa heart.

On AO3, the ship only has 10 fanfics, while fanfiction.net has 3.

= Puana =  Puana is the friend ship between Pua and Moana Waialiki from the Moana fandom.

Canon
Pua is Moana's pet pig and best friend she met some point in her childhood. Since Pua first appears beside Moana during her child years in the "Where You Are" song, but doesn't show how the two met; like it did with Heihei. Those moments of the two during the song indicates that they are very close with one another. From Moana sharing her coconut water with Pua and the little pig joining Moana in one of her failed attempts to spent time on the ocean. After her parents dragged her away from it again, Pua is seen holding an oar in his mouth. Indicating that Pua knows how much Moana wants to sail on the ocean and is sad that she never gets a proper chance to do so.

When it was time for Moana to serve as acting chief, so she'll know what to do when it is to take over for her father, Pua is seen helping Moana and giving her support. After Moana fixed a leaky roof and comments on the village's pork she tasted, Moana realises that doing so upsets Pua. Once she remembered that pork is pig, which is what Pua is. Despite that little "miss hap" and Moana struggling to say the right works, Pua continues to say by Moana's side as she does her other chief duty tasks. Pua was also ready to join Moana out to sea, once they were finally alone to do do, as he brings Moana an oar for the boat. After Pua fell into the water and Moana had trouble steering the boat to save her little friend, even though they were both about to get back into sure again, Pua didn't want to go near the water again. Moana realises this when she saw that the sight of an oar causes Pua to run away in fear. Moana was about to follow Pua's lead of never going into the water again, until Tala showed Moana their voyaging ancestry. Knowing that Pua would still be shaken from what happened earlier that day, Moana decided to not drag Pua with her and had little time to find and say good bye to him before she left. Leaving poor little Pua to wonder where Moana is.

After Moana returned from her long journey, Pua happily runs up to her and gives Moana lick kisses. Moana was also happy to see Pua again as she held him in her arms. Pua is later seen joining Moana on her next adventure, as she gets her people to go back to their voyaging roots. Despite being scared before, Pua is shown to have taken a liking to bring out at sea, like Moana has. Showing that their friendship is far more important and probably didn't want to be a part from Moana again.

Fanon
Fans of the 2016 Disney film like the way it gave Moana a pet pig. Who also acts a bit like a puppy dog. Pua's white and gray color scheme pleases some Moariel fans, as they make jokes about Pua being Moana's Max. Even though Heihei was the animal companion of the journey Moana went on with Maui, most people prefer cute little Pua over odd Heihei.

The same number of people who are fund of the bond Moana shares with her little pig, are also part of the group that were upset that Pua didn't get to join Moana on her journey to Te Fiti. Since a teaser and many Moana promotional art has included Pua beside Moana, Maui and Heihei. Making people believe that he would have been part of their adventure, before seeing the 2016 film. They were, however, happy to learn that Pua has joined Moana on her next adventure.

After Disney revealed that they are in the mists of making a Moana TV series, it gave fans hope that they might see to see other moments between Moana and Pua. Like revealing how the two had met, just as Tangled: The Series had revealed how Rapunzel met Pascal.
