The rule admits of no exception, every Disney animated film since its inception has offered its heroes and heroines adventurous companions. Already in the 1940s, the rabbit Pan-Pan almost managed to steal the show from Cotton, and Jiminy Cricket became the good conscience of the little wooden boy Pinocchio.
Recently, we have had the pleasure of meeting the monkey Abu, the companion of young Aladdin in the 1992 film, the famous warthog Pumbaa from The Lion King, or the fox Nick Wilde, who came to the aid of the rabbit Judy Hopps in Zootopia (including a sequel planned for 2025).
In Vaiana 2, the heroine and the audience will be happy to meet the little pig Pua and the chicken Hei Hei, two secondary characters who contributed a lot to the success of the first part. To celebrate the release of the sequel to The Adventures of a Young Polynesian Girl, here’s a quiz for fans of Disney’s animated films to identify nine characters. Until then, some secrets from the sets of Wayana 2 in theaters this Wednesday.
