In Disney's Moana, the island village where Moana lives is called Motunui.
Motunui is the fictional Polynesian island community led by Moana's father, Chief Tui. It is the film's starting point and home to Moana, her mother Sina, and her grandmother Tala. The village is presented as a close-knit society whose people traditionally remain within the island's surrounding reef.
Moana's journey begins when the island's resources start declining and she learns that her ancestors were voyagers. Although Motunui is fictional, the film's settings, canoes, navigation, music, and visual design draw inspiration from cultures across the Pacific Islands. The village name is sometimes confused with Te Fiti, the island goddess at the center of the story, or Lalotai, the realm of monsters visited during the adventure. Motunui is Moana's home, not a real-world island or a supernatural location.
