Moariel

Moariel is the femslash ship between Moana and Ariel from the Disney fandom.

Canon
As Ariel and Moana are from different series, they have never met in canon. In Ralph Breaks the Internet after Moana summons the Ocean from a fountain, Ariel dives into it and swims upward to create a spiral with the water.

Ariel and Moana both have fathers who are the leaders of their people and who want to keep their daughters safe, as they fear the dangers of the places that lie beyond the safety of their borders. Both girls also have dreams that involve going beyond their homes and into the outside world, and feel drawn to the places that they are never allowed to go near. Because of their watery connections to the sea, as it is where Ariel is originally from while Moana feels drawn to the ocean and is friends with it, they are seen as Disney princesses of the ocean.

Fanon
A small group of fans started to ship the two some time before Moana was released, and the popularity of the ship continued to grow after. A few fan works of the ship have Moana meeting Ariel through a "watery wall", or has the ocean bringing the two together. The ship sometimes has them in the modern, casual style clothes that the netizen versions of them wear in Ralph Breaks the Internet.

On AO3, the ship has over 25 fanfics, as well as having a reasonable size fanbase on both DeviantArt and Tumblr. A few fan-made work sometimes features both of them as mermaids. A commonly used trait in Ariel ships. As well as having Ariel in her human form beside Moana. Many of the ship's fanart commonly has a water or seaside related backgrounds and settings, since they both hold a connection to water in their own ways and have had spent time on beaches. One YouTuber had merged the "Where You Are" and "Under the Sea" songs together for a Disney Mashup music video, since both songs are of people trying to get Moana and Ariel to stay where they belong and should remain.
