MORE MOANA NEW INFO SPOILER ALERT:

Moana being an animated film, and a Walt Disney Animation Studios animated film at that, many details will be tweaked during production, to the betterment of the storytelling. As far as I know, however, '''the chief of these tree spirits is called Mokemoke and he's incredibly chatty. Mokemoke means 'lonely' so I can see why he'd have a lot to talk about when he hooks up with other characters.''' Casting for Mokemoke has yet to be announced but I think the role sounds perfect for Jemaine Clement. Maybe I should pop down to Ladbrokes and put a fiver on it; the film's script was co-written by Clement's friend and collaborator Taika Waititi, after all.

In lieu of being able to explain who this is, I will say that one of the key characters not presented in toy form is '''Te Po, the living island. She's certainly on a different scale to these toys. Once very lush, she's now rocky and fiery. She was revealed in concept art at the D23 presentation. What isn't widely known, just yet, is that she plays a very key part in the story. She's angry at mankind for the destruction wrought upon her body by settlers, and decides that the world would probably be better off without people.'''
