Grandma Tala (Moana)

A wise elder

Like all the other characters, Grandma Tala is dressed in Polynesian fashion. She wears a loincloth dress draped around her body in natural colors: beige, orange, brown and just a few pink flowers. She holds a cane on which she rests her two hands as well as a necklace with a large blue stone. At the head level, we can see her grey eyebrows that stand out especially on her brown skin as well as her long hair of the same color nicely brought back in a bun with a big pink flower.

A spiritual guide

Grandma Tala is Moana’s grandmother in the Disney cartoon Moana. Moana is the daughter of a Polynesian tribal leader who, as a young child, found the heart of the goddess Te Fiti on a beach after it had been stolen and lost by the demigod Maui. Later, when Moana is a teenager, the islands start to die and the fish start to disappear and Moana’s grandmother thinks it’s because Te Fiti is dying without her heart. Thinking that Moana has been chosen, she pushes her to go to sea despite the prohibition of her father who thinks that the sea is too dangerous. Moana finally sets sail with the help of Maui, who is determined to make amends for her mistakes. Shortly afterwards, her grandmother dies, allowing her to return in the form of a spirit who can guide Moana on her mission.
