Character mistake: When Maui and Moana set sail after defeating the Kakamora, Maui says they must head east. He turns the boat 90° as he says this. Throughout the next scene the setting sun is to the left of them (providing a beautiful backdrop to their fight), meaning that the boat must be heading north, not east.

I think I saw this in theaters, and I watched it again on Disney +.
I would say this is more of a 3.5 star out of 5 but can't do half stars here. This movie is all right. I like it plenty enough but it's not like amazing or anything. It's a fairly middling Disney movie with some fun and likeable characters.
Is this supposed to be in a fictionalized version of Earth that only has ocean and islands though? that part is kinda confusing. Is there a main land? it's never really said.
But it's an island hopping ocean adventure. I used to play Sea of Thieves a lot and this reminds me of some of the fun I had in that game. So yeah, there's nothing really bad about this movie, but it's like not gonna change the world amazing. A fun family watching if you got nothing else.
Go watch Atlantis though from Disney. Now that's a good ocean movie.

Question: Does Maui need to eat and drink to survive? If so, how did he survive for so long on a desert island; especially when there's no signs he had any tools for fishing or a way of creating fresh water? If not, why did he seek out food when Moana showed up? Also, it's heavily implied that Maui urinates, which probably means that he drank something, but why would he if he doesn't need food or water?
Chosen answer: There's a sign he had tools for sculpting a statue of himself from solid stone, though we never see the sculpting tools. Given the fact that he wants food and isn't dead, it's safe to assume he also had some tools available for fishing.
