Otherwise there would be no test (Abraham 3:25. Here we are, voyaging amid the dark vicissitudes of the telestial degree of glory, complete with all the adversity and seemingly senseless stuff that comes with it. But the truth remains that if there was or is any warring to be done, it was amongst us islanders or and is amongst us humans ourselves (James 4:1, Mosiah 29:40).Īs a symbol, the Kakamora might also represent what we must face during this mortal sojourn on earth. It wouldn’t do to make anyone from “Oceana” the bad guy, when you’re trying to make all Polynesians happy with your movie. Disney gives us its version of the stereotypical tropical enemy invaders who just happen to be a very fictitious force from a nonexistent fantasy island. So here we go again with pirate boogeymen theme. Obviously, some extrapolation of this folklore was needed for the film. In their description, I am reminded of other stories of tricky, selfish creatures such as leprechauns and fairies.The kakamora are reputed to hide what they look like by wearing coconut shells. However, they are said to live on land, in the more overgrown areas, where they can hide. In the lore of some Polynesian peoples, there really are small evil creatures called Kakamora. Obviously, since this is a movie meant to honor and wow all Polynesian people, Disney played the safe card. I had to assume that readers had already seen the movie in order to write it. WARNING: If you have not seen the movie yet, the remainder of this post is full of spoilers.
