Heihei

Heihei


Hero Overview

I'm curious about that chicken eating the rock.A villager to Moana about Heihei.

Heihei is a major character in Disney's Moana franchise. He is a rooster who unintentionally joins Moana and Maui on their journey across the ocean.

His vocal effects are provided by Alan Tudyk, who also voiced K-2SO in Rogue One, Tuk Tuk in Raya and the Last Dragon, Alistair Krei in Big Hero 6, Pico in Encanto, and Valentino in Wish.

Personality

Heihei is one dumb rooster—the village idiot, in fact. When the clueless chicken accidentally stows away on Moana’s canoe, he lands a front-row seat for her epic journey.

History

Moana

Heihei first appears meeting a toddler Moana who removes a piece of coconut from his head. By the time Moana is a teenager, Heihei is viewed more as a member of the community rather than a pet, though some villagers believe his stupidity makes him a worthy choice for dinner. Moana, on the other hand, believes there's more to Heihei than meets the eye. At some point, Heihei comes across a cavern of boats that were once sailed by Moana's ancestors. He boards one, which Moana takes on her mission to find Maui and return the heart of Te Fiti to its rightful place. She finds Heihei the following morning, who panics and falls off the boat. Moana saves him and safely secures him to prevent more accidents. However, the two are later caught in a storm that sends them to Maui's island. Maui steals Moana's boat and Heihei alongside it as a "boat snack".

As the two sail off, Maui feeds Heihei to fatten him up, but Moana arrives and confronts Maui. She orders him to assist her and pulls out the heart of Te Fiti just when a band of pirates arrives to steal it. The Kakamora attack their boat, but Heihei swallows the heart, making himself the _target of the coconut humanoid pirates. Heihei is kidnapped, and Moana rushes to save him. They make it back to the boat, and once they do, Heihei spits out the heart. Once Maui eventually agrees to help return the heart, the trio venture out into the sea to accomplish their mission. Along the way, Heihei does little to help, only falling into the water a few times, much to the frustration of the ocean. Maui also continues to feed Heihei (whom he nicknamed "Drumstick") during the voyage, apparently still wanting to eat him. When the team faces Te Kā, Heihei remains in the boat's storage. When Moana checks on him following the disastrous battle, he is dazed and injured.

Trivia

  • Heihei is the complete opposite of some other animal companions such as Maximus and Sven from Tangled and Frozen, respectively; While Maximus and Sven are portrayed as unusually clever for their respective species with near-human intelligence, Heihei is incredibly stupid, even by chicken standards.
  • He is voiced by Alan Tudyk, who also voiced King Candy in Wreck-It-Ralph.
    • The villager that suggests eating Heihei is also voiced by Alan Tudyk.
    • In addition to Tudyk's voice, several actual chicken sound effects were used for Heihei as well.
