P1｜Next week sees the release of Moana, the live-action remake of the 2016 Disney animation smash – again starring Dwayne Johnson. But that was not the original Moana. That honour goes to a Moana released a full century ago: a glimpse of Polynesian life now largely forgotten but none the less offering some inspiration to the makers of today’s iteration.
P2｜“Someone at Disney picked the bones of the 1926 Moana to make their movie,” believes film historian Bruce Posner.
P3｜The 1926 Moana was a silent documentary by American film-maker Robert Flaherty, who had cemented his reputation a few years before with Nanook of the North, a pioneering portrait of Inuit civilisation. Its epic sequences of walrus hunting and kayaking in icy waters had lit up the box office. So, for his next feature, Flaherty had carte blanche to go anywhere. He chose Samoa.
P4｜“He had a vision of this great sea monster story,” says Posner, who oversaw a digital restoration of Flaherty’s Moana in 2014. “But when he arrived, there was no sea monster. There was this island life where everybody was happy.”
……
P12｜In this way, Fonoti argues there is “a significant link” between Flaherty’s film and the Disney franchise. Before Moana, several Disney productions had drawn on Indigenous and non-western cultures without consultation. This resulted in notorious scenes such as the What Made the Red Man Red? musical number in Peter Pan. But for Moana, the company assembled experts from across the Pacific Islands to advise on all aspects of the film.
P13｜“It’s been a good experience,” says Fonoti, who has been a member of the advisory group since the franchise began. “Pacific Islanders have been part of the history of western cinema since the beginning. So to see it evolve to where it is today is amazing.”
P14｜Fonoti suggests that Flaherty’s film was a stepping stone on that journey of Samoan representation onscreen. “There is a thread that goes from the 1926 Moana to where we are now as active participants in crafting these stories.”
P15｜As for any further connections between the Disney and Flaherty films, Posner remains convinced the silent movie was an inspiration. “It’s just not an accident,” he says, pointing to the shared Pacific Island setting and title (albeit transposed from a male in Flaherty’s film to a female in the Disney franchise).
