Character History
Tamatoa - Underwater monster of the cartoon "Moana". Despite the fact that he got less than 10 minutes of screen time, the crab turned out to be one of the brightest characters. And the famous song has become the name of the nature of the underwater monster with the identification of educational motives.History of character creation
The colorful cartoon "Moana" showed the audience a story other than other full-length animated paintings Walt Disney. Directed by John Maskener and Ron Climate (he also voiced the villain Tamatoa) specially visited the Polynesian Islands, communicated with the locals, collecting useful information.
This allowed the creators of "Moana" to demonstrate the attractive world of Maori people. And thanks to the incredible animation, it was possible to emphasize the identity of the incredible marine adventure of heroes.
However, the colorful scenes are not the only merit of the cartoon. This is also a musical picture. One of the most memorable songs "Moana" is "to live in brilliance", which in Russian dubbing performed the musician Ilya Lagutenko.
Many heroes in the animated picture have prototypes taken from the legends and legends of local residents. Tamatoa is the original character. There are opinions that the prototype of the underwater monster was Crab Sebastian from the Disney cartoon "Mermaid". This hero also felt weakness to brilliant and distinguished by singers.
In addition, the quotes of the underwater villain also testify in support of this opinion. In the episode after Tamatoa titers, he addresses the audience with the phrase: "I would call me Sebastian and I would have a fashionable Jamaican accent, you would adored me. For sure, 100%. "
Initially, instead of a gigantic crab, the antagonist was to be a decapitated warrior, which recognized the director of the picture from the mythology of oceania. Nevertheless, the choice fell in favor of a cute kleptana, which takes to jewels. And at least the reality of the existence of a character in the legends is disputed, they remain the place of the ancient monsters, inhabiting the underwater world of Lalotai.
The image and biography of Tamatoa
Tamatoa - coconut crab. These animals dwell in the tropics, they are also called "palm thieves". Such a nickname was obtained due to the ability to climb on the trees. The dimensions of the actually living coconut crabs cause shock, however, a really giant monster is shown in the cartoon.So, at the animated hero ten paws, four of them are huge claws. The fact that he lacks one limb is the merit of Maui, the chief enemy of the sea villain. A distinctive feature in the appearance of messengers is a grain-gravated shell.
The image of the cartoon antagonist smoothes expressive blue eyes, as well as a crazy color. The color of the body is a stunning gradient. In the dark, tamatoa glows, and much brighter than treasures on the shell.
Cartoon creators revealed some events from the early biography of Monster. In essence, the name "Crab" is incorrect about this character. In fact, this is a rack-hermit, which in childhood did not differ from relatives.
From the song it becomes clear that the villain fell in love with the shine, because of which he began to cover himself with gold jewelry. Passion for collecting, the nature of the souls and mercantility played a cruel joke with him. So, Tamatoa turned into an unpredictable madman. He has little to be the same as conifers, so he tries to benefit to "pay" himself with brilliant jewels.
The "Pearl" of his collections - Maau's magic hook. The artifact got him by the will of the chance - the demigod churbed him when he stole the heart those fitness. Now mining is bangible on the shell, which allows the monster to feel not only "in the brilliance", but also most powerful at the bottom of the ocean.
When the main characters are descending into the world of monsters of Lalotai, a concert monster appears a chance to felt alumina. Obviously, the lack of friends and the company affects the character of the character. Moana is trying to distract the monster, thereby give Maui time to return the magic hook. Princess asks to tell the crab about himself, what he answers the song.
The fight takes place between three characters. Tamatoa understands that he was spent, but the concert is not going to stop. Moan managed to inform the ambition of the ambition, Maui takes the hook, and the heroes leave the terrible world of monsters. Finally, the crab tipped on the shell is trying to finish up to the kidnappers, to find out if the song has liked the non-crude guest.
In the cartoon "Moana" many bright, detailed episodes, including the world of the underground monster. Surprisingly, this character does not look awesome. Cute will be called with the stretch, however, for children it is not terrible, but bright and magical, like a "christmas ball."
If you deeper into the analysis of the cartoon, each scene carries a certain thought, whether it is part of the legend or the original story. Tamatoa is called to show an alternative life position.
If Maui and Moana are guided by the idea to help people (the princess is happy for the well-being of his people, and the demigod wanted to arrange the lives of the inhabitants of the islands), then Tamatoa is an example of a consumer relation.
So, the gigantic monster sees the meaning only to "live in brilliance." In fact, it means a surface attitude towards the whole surrounding, "beautiful shell" with controversial content. And under this inner component should be understood as the heart.
In the song Tamatoa urges not to trust the feelings and not follow spiritual impulses. All you need for happiness, considers the inhabitant of Lalotai, - dress up. And the brighter he shines, the greater the gap he feels like. Those who allegedly prepared the fate to live in the shadows.
The escape of Moan and Maui from the kingdom of the dead is the choice of another path. Not the one who tempts the false brilliance, but what will lead to the achievement of the main goal.
Thanks to such bright characters like Tamatoa, the creators of the cartoon managed not only to show incredibly beautiful scenes, but also to perform an educational function. The description of the adventures of heroes is always a pendulum, which fluctuates between good and evil, courage and fear, egoism and altruism. In this regard, the lonely, abandoned and helpless Lalotai resident at the end of the painting is a bright demonstration of the wrong choice.
