Help comes in an unexpected form. The bird begins to create strange movements and sounds, and the crew is aware that it is making a mating dance. Their resident cale Heihei (Alan Tudyk), a Moana Pal from the first film, begins to respond in nature, make odd main gyrations and feather fanning. “Stop it, it’s disgusting,” says Moni.

Director David G. Derrick Jr. Recognizes that “super-fun and weird” scene “ended up not working within the story.”
