* EatTheDog: An elderly denizen of Motunui asks if he can cook Heihei, as the chicken appears to be too stupid to be of any other use. Moana declines, insisting that Heihei has some hidden talent. Later, when Maui steals Moana's canoe, the demigod takes Heihei too as a "boat snack." He spends most of the voyage trying to fatten the rooster up, to [[ForgetsToEat no avail]]. It's all clearly PlayedForLaughs with bonus points in that the elderly villager is voiced by Creator/AlanTudyk who also voices Heihei.

* AnAesop:
** Don't let superficial things define you- your worth is determined by your attitude and actions. Moana and Maui learn this, while Tamatoa is an example of a failure to do so.
** All it takes is one person to change and encourage you and make you the best you can be.
** Be open to opportunities and don't let fear prevent you from progress.

After some attempts to change himself back, he appears to have regained his human top-half... only for him to fall over and realise that his legs have turned into a shark tail.

* TauntingTheTransformed: Maui is known for his ability to transform using his hook, which gets stolen from him by Tamatoa. Upon getting it back, he attempts to transform into something powerful against the giant crab, [[ShapeshiftingFailure only to end up turning into various other animals before changing back to normal]]. Tamatoa, witnessing this, laughs at how out of practice Maui must be.
