In 2006, Walt Disney Pictures started using a new intro with a new CGI animation with a very complex depiction of the Cinderella Castle and its. But the documentary makes me emotional, as well, because it touches on a little bit of what we felt. We came back from the islands changed. CLEMENTS  Most of the people are from the Oceanic story trust. Theyre people that we met and that became family. Did you always know youd be documenting that aspect of the films development CLEMENTS  That very first trip that we made, five years ago, we didnt have a video person, so the stuff is really from later trips. SHURER  We have a little bit from the first trip, just from phones and things. I have a documentary background and I felt like what was happening on the movie was so interesting that we took a documentary filmmaker that I knew from New Zealand, with us on every trip. It felt important. CLEMENTS  On the second trip, there was someone there all the time and we just forgot about that. The first trip that we took, we have a lot of pictures and some video, but that was in the really early stages of the story. SHURER  It felt important to document the process because our intention was to be really inclusive and have a group of people that would work with us, throughout. It felt like something we wanted to be able to document and see, and I always had this dream that wed do a decent length documentary on the DVD. Image via Disney. When did the short come about SHURER  In the old days, we used to do shorts for the DVDs, but times have changed. Its mostly a different style of content now. When I started at Pixar, years ago, we had just done Mikes New Car, and after that, we did Jack Jack Attack for The Incredibles. We havent been able to do them very much lately because theyre very expensive to do and our artists are working until the last minute. But we had started working on a piece that was originally intended to be a trailer, and then we changed course on the trailer. It was fun, really funny and cool. So, we were like, Well, weve already done some of this. Could we get permission, blessings and funding to extend it a little bit and tell a little story, and make it into a short The powers that be agree, and so we got to make a little short for the DVD, which is really cool to do. We were lucky. It was serendipitous, in this case. As a result of the success of Moana, whats been the most exciting or coolest thing thats happened for you guys, as a result CLEMENTS  For me, I was most emotional being in Samoa and seeing it with the people there. The kids came out and sang and danced for us. SHURER  We had a special screening for 5. CLEMENTS  And then, because it connected back to the beginning, there was just something really, really cool about it. Aulii Cravalho was there, and was just so embraced. Weve done other princesses and female heroines, but never had the experience of this feeling that somehow the character in the movie has become three dimensional in this world, and that shes real. They feel like theyre connecting with the character they saw in the movie, and she is just like the character in the movie. That was really cool But, theres been many cool things. SHURER  For me, that trip to Samoa was amazing Also, I got to go to Tahiti. The movie was almost complete, and with our consultant there, we announced that the movie was going to be translated into Tahitian. Its the first time ever because they all speak French. Because its part of French Polynesia, no movies are translated into Tahitian. Tahitian is a dying language. Its no longer spoken. The kids dont speak it very much. And the fact that Disney agreed to fund a translation into Tahitian, so that it can go into schools under the Minister of Education, this is bringing them back to their language. That was one of the most amazing moments, to stand there with Tahitian press and announce the Tahitian translation. We were balling and hugging, and it was an incredible experience. The President of Tahiti invited us to speak and to show him the film. It was an embracing in the Islands. It felt, to all of us, like a full circle moment. We wanted so much to honor the people who inspired the movie, and to have them embrace the film in that way was awesome. Image via Disney. When you started out on the journey for this film, could you ever have imagined that it would not only be so life changing for the world, but for you guys, personally SHURER  It started with the first trip. The first trip was life changing. CLEMENTS  It was much more than we expected. John Lasseter is a fanatic about research. Every movie has some form of a pretty intense research trip. But when we got back from the trip, before we got into story, in any sense, we did almost an hour presentation with boards and pictures and quotes from things that we had brought back from the trip and that affected us. John said that he hasnt seen people as transformed, in terms of that. Both John Musker and I had been to Hawaii, a few times, on vacation, but its not the same thing. Going someplace on vacation, as a tourist, is completely different than what we experienced, in terms of the research trip. I kept a journal throughout that trip, and one of the big things from the journal is just the sense that this was going to be a much harder movie than we thought it was going to be, but if we could pull it off, it would be a bigger deal than we expected. It was more challenging, but it was exciting because we felt that there was something there. SHURER  Its incredible how much this movie resonates for young women and men, as well all over the world. You dont have to be Polynesian for it to resonate. The power of this character and how she finds her answers within herself was so impactful. The answer lies within you. Theres a voice inside of you. She loves her family, but shes drawn out to the ocean because theres something in her blood. She follows it, in order to save her people.
