This exclusive deleted scene adds a little extra comedy to Moana 2

On this scene, as a substitute of the entire crew getting hit by Kakamora darts, solely Moana takes the hit. The remainder of them — Maui fanboy Moni (Hualālai Chung), quirky inventor Loto (Rose Matafeo), and aged farmer Kele (David Fane) — are captured and squeezed collectively in rope netting suspended above the ship. (Pua will get his personal cage.) Moana insists she will nonetheless assist her crew, however on condition that she’s utterly limp, her face pressed in opposition to the deck and her phrases slurred, that isn’t wanting super-likely.

The scene is humorous, however co-director Jason Hand says finally, the filmmakers needed to spend much less time on the Kakamora barge, and streamline the motion somewhat. Within the remaining movie, Moana’s complete crew will get darted and paralyzed — and Pua will get a dart proper within the butt.
