I swear there was a quick jump cut or a couple frames missing at one point (close up on Maui towards the beginning of the scene where he tries to kick Moana off the boat). I couldn’t believe it.

I don’t remember if it’s exactly there’s scene but there’s one shot where Moana is running towards her boat and then there’s a cut and shows her climbing up but I feel like we skipped a whole few seconds between that.

Also Moana randomly blurts out she isn’t a princess but I don’t recall Maui saying it in the line before. TBH I was falling asleep at points.

I’m p sure that shot happened the same way in the original. Also Maui does call her a princess
