Okay, so the other day I was trying to find “Moana” in French for my niece. She’s obsessed with the movie, and I thought it would be a fun way for her to pick up a little French. Here’s how I got it done.
First Attempt: Just Googling It
My first move was, of course, to just Google “Moana in French”. I figured the translated title would pop right up. I got some mixed results, a bunch of websites about the movie, but nothing that gave me a straight answer immediately.
Digging a Little Deeper
So, I scrolled through the Google results, and I started to see some mentions of “Vaiana”. I was like, “Huh? What’s ‘Vaiana’?” I clicked on a few of the links, and it turns out that in most of Europe, Moana is actually called “Vaiana”! Apparently, it was a trademark issue or something. I’m guessing “Moana” was already taken by some other company in Europe.
Finding the French Version
Knowing the movie is named “Vaiana” I Searched using term “Vaiana French”. Then I could confirm, that “Vaiana” is indeed the French title for “Moana”. I checked a few more reliable sources, like, you know, movie websites and stuff, just to be extra sure.
Success!
So, there you have it! To find “Moana” in French, you actually need to look for “Vaiana, la légende du bout du monde”. It’s a bit of a mouthful, but at least now I know, and my niece can enjoy her favorite movie in French! I even found a version with French subtitles, so she can follow along more easily.
