Compared to previous Disney hits like Frozen and Inside Out, the hype around Moana has been minimal. But when the current began to stir, the movie slid onto our shores like a calm wave: Quiet, but impactful.

If you were amused by this loopy rooster in the Moana trailers, you’ll be glad to learn that it gets even better in the show. Toeing the fine line between funny and frustrating, Heihei is Moana’s ‘token animal companion’, as Maui points out in a witty ribbing of the Disney Princess tradition.
