I'm pretty sure they're managing to (narrowly) avoid the camp-villian thing here with Tamatoa, which I really appreciate.

I have a ton of thoughts here about Maui's tattoos acting as his conscience, and the points where the ocean chooses to intervene and also just the great trickster-comeuppance stuff that's already happening.

(The animated tattoo stuff is really cool though, I loved it when Hercules did that kinda thing too)

Elanna (paraphrased): "Okay so that's either just the ocean being capricious, or being friends with the ocean doesn't mean you're friends with the weather"

I REALLY like how they're making the ocean a character (as in, actually having it interact with Moana, etc) while only barely anthropomorphizing it (no face, etc)
(It also happens to be pretty similar to how nature-spirits appear to me)

Okay now that's just Lin singing isn't it. :D Also this coming-to-the-island set-piece is BEAUTIFUL.
