Thought there'd be a Goofy Holler

Turns out that the sound Maui makes when jumping into the Realm of Monsters isn't a Goofy Holler after all, but rather a "Samoan Holler", with it being done by Dwayne Johnson himself.

So Moana is not the first Computer Animated Film to use the Goofy Holler, which there still is yet to be, but I know, we've gone for years without hearing a Goofy Holler in the past anyway. Last time it was heard was in Enchanted (Low Pitched though), and there are some films that I personally think could've used it.

Lol thats right, Samoans have been making that cheehooo holler before Disney or even Cinema itself existed. Depending on the situation the holler can be used to show excitement e.g Dwayne jumping into the Monster entrance or appreciation for example enjoying someones dance performance etc.
