Tumblr User Explains Why Disney Dumbed Down Moana’s Rooster

Published 6 years ago

When Disney’s Moana came out in 2016, people instantly fell in love with its unique characters – Moana, the daughter of the village chief, Maui, a shapeshifting demigod, and even Heihei – Moana’s hilariously silly pet rooster. However, someone on Tumblr recently noticed something off about the early promotional posters of the movie – especially about Heihei.

Historically, most main characters of Disney movies had sidekicks – and Moana was no exception. They usually use their wits to help the main characters in times of trouble and people started getting curious about why Disney chose to dumb down this seemingly badass character? One Tumblr user tried to explain it and started a heated discussion on why it might have happened – check it out below!

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Got wisdom to pour?
