Upon release, the film received critical acclaim with praise directed to its animation, music, and voice cast. The film has so far grossed over $280 million worldwide.
In the beginning, when there was only ocean, Te Fiti, an island goddess, emerged. Te Fiti's heart, a small pounamu stone, possessed the power to create life and raise islands. But it also attracted monsters who tried to steal it for its creative power. It was stolen by the demigod Maui, who planned to give it to humanity as a gift. Upon removing the stone, Te Fiti was enveloped in darkness. As Maui made his escape, he was attacked by the lava demon Te Kā, causing the heart to become lost in the ocean along with his magical fishhook.
A millennium later, a young Moana Waialiki, the daughter and heir of a chief on the small Polynesian island of Motunui, is chosen by the ocean to receive the heart as she is collecting shells on the shore. Her father, Chief Tui, insists the island provides everything the villagers might need. But a few years later, the fish become scarce, coconuts begin to spoil, and the island's vegetation begins to die. Moana proposes going beyond the reef to find more fish. Tui angrily rejects her request, as sailing beyond the reef is forbidden. Moana's mother Sina confesses that Tui fears the ocean because he lost his best friend when they attempted to sail together beyond the reef.
Moana's grandmother, Gramma Tala finds Moana on the beach after a failed attempt to sail the ocean and shows Moana a secret cave hidden behind a waterfall. She finds a fleet of outrigger sailing canoes, revealing that the island's ancestors were seafaring voyagers. Tala gives Moana the heart of Te Fiti, which she has kept safe for her granddaughter ever since she was chosen by the ocean, and shows her that the darkness unleashed by Maui's theft is now consuming the island.
Tala suddenly falls ill and with her dying breaths tells Moana to set sail. Moana departs in a drua to find Maui with her "stupid" pet chicken Heihei, an accidental stowaway. A manta ray, implied to be Tala's reincarnation, follows Moana. Moana follows a constellation that looks like Maui's fishhook, but a huge typhoon wave flips her sailboat and knocks her unconscious. She wakes up the next morning on a small island inhabited by Maui, who distracts Moana by boasting of his exploits, traps her in a cave, and begins to set sail in her sailboat in search of his fishhook. After escaping the cave, Moana tries to convince Maui to return the heart, but Maui refuses, fearing that its power will attract other dark creatures.
Pygmy pirates called Kakamora surround the boat and manage to steal the heart, but Maui is able to get their massive sailboats to collide just as Moana retrieves the heart. Maui agrees to help bring the heart back to Te Fiti, but only after he reclaims his hook, which is hidden in Lalotai, the Realm of Monsters and held by Tamatoa, a giant coconut crab. The two journey to Lalotai, where they retrieve the hook by tricking Tamatoa into singing of his glamour. Back on the sailboat, Maui teaches Moana how to sail and to navigate by the stars and, with Moana's encouragement, reacquaints himself with the transformational powers of his magical hook. Moana learns that Maui was a human raised by gods after being abandoned by his parents.
They arrive at Te Fiti, where Te Kā appears and begins to attack. Maui fights back, but is overpowered and tells Moana to turn back. She ignores him, believing that they can use Te Kā's aversion to water to their advantage. Te Kā severely damages Maui's hook and repels their boat far out to sea. Fearing that going back to fight Te Kā will permanently destroy his hook, Maui abandons Moana after telling her that the ocean chose the wrong person to save her people.
Distraught at her failure, Moana begs the ocean to take the heart and choose another person to return it to Te Fiti. The spirit of Tala appears and encourages Moana to find her true calling within herself. Moana retrieves the heart from the ocean and returns to Te Fiti with Heihei. As Te Kā is about to smite them, Maui, having had a change of heart, returns to distract the lava demon and his hook is destroyed in the battle. Moana reaches the top of the mountain, and discovering that the island is gone, realizes that Te Kā is actually Te Fiti without her heart. Moana asks the ocean to clear a path for Te Kā to approach her. She sings a song and asks Te Kā to remember who she truly is, who then allows Moana to restore her heart. Te Fiti returns and in gratitude, gives a new canoe to Moana and a new magical hook to Maui (who apologizes for stealing her heart a long time ago) before returning to her island form.
Moana bids a fond farewell to Maui and returns to her recovering island with Heihei. Later, the villagers begin voyaging and set sail in search of new islands, as Maui and Tala accompany them in their giant hawk and manta ray forms, respectively.
In a post-credits scene, Tamatoa, who has been stranded on his back during Moana and Maui's escape, wonders if people would care more for him if he was a Jamaican crab named Sebastian.
