Disney Monologues: Moana, Frozen, Maleficent and More

CINDERELLA – Every girl is dreaming and wishing she were at the ball tonight. I can’t be there because of my Stepmother… Well, somebody has to mind the house. What can I do? Leave my Stepfamily? I don’t think if Father were alive he would like that very much. Why don’t you believe in wishes and dreams – that once in a while something marvelous and magical can happen? I AM wishing – in the name of every young girl who ever wanted to go to a dance and was told she couldn’t. I am wishing that by some magic or “fol-derol and fiddledy dee” that I could go to the ball tonight.

Well what an attractive gathering we have here. I spy royalty and my, my, my – nobility, the gentry and how quaint, four little Oompah Loompahs who escaped from the set of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate factory!. I felt quite slighted not receiving an invitation of my own. I’d hoped that it was merely an oversight.  Now I can tell by the looks on your faces that I just wasn’t wanted. Pity. Then I’d best be on my way. Oh – – and to show that I bare no hard feelings, I too will  bestow a gift on the child‚ Listen well, all of you!(change tone of voice) The Princess will indeed grow in grace & beauty and be loved by all who know her. But, before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger on a spinning wheel – and die!

Simba? {pause for realization} Whoah!!! Well how did you.. where did you come from … it’s great to see you.. Wait ‘til everybody finds out you’ve been here all this time.

And your mother… what will she think? Everyone thinks you’re dead. Scar told us about the stampede. You’re alive. What else matters? And that means… you’re the king! {Quietly}

It’s like you’re back from the dead. You don’t know how much this will mean to everyone. {Pained expression} …What it means to me. I’ve really missed you.

Well, I just … needed to get out on my own. Live my own life. And I did. And it’s great! No one needs me. { pause } Nala, we’ve been through this.

I’m not the king. Scar is. { pause } I can’t go back. You wouldn’t understand. It doesn’t matter. HakunaMatata. It’s something I learned out here.

Look, sometimes bad things happen… and there’s nothing you can do about it! So why worry? { pause } Listen! You think you can just show up and tell me how to live my life?

You don’t even know what I’ve been through. You’re wrong . I can’t go back. What would it prove, anyway? It won’t change anything.

You can’t change the past. { pause } { He looks up at the stars, speaking to his father } You said you’d always be there for me!… But you’re not.

And it’s because of me . It’s my fault…. It’s my … fault .

Dory: No. No, you can’t. …STOP! Please don’t go away. Please? No one’s ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave…if you leave… I just, I remember things better with you! I do, look! P. Sherman, forty-two…forty-two… I remember it, I do. It’s there, I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And…and I look at you, and I…and I’m home! Please…I don’t want that to go away. I don’t want to forget.

Maui: Mm…You’re welcome. No… I’m not going to Te Fiti with some kid. I’m going to get my hook. You’ve got yours and I’m not Maui without mine. Okay, talk to the back. Boat snack…oh no no no don’t look at me like that. It’s a beautiful cave, she’s gonna love it. And I’m gonna love you!

Gramma Tala: In the beginning there was only the ocean until the mother island emerged. Te Fiti. Her heart held the greatest power ever known. It could create life itself. And Te Fiti shared it with the world. But in time some began to seek Te Fiti’s heart. They believed they could possess it. The great power of creation would be theirs.

Sina: Like you, your Father was drawn to the ocean, he took a canoe Moana and crossed the reef and found an unforgiving sea. Waves like mountains. His best friend begged to be on that boat. He couldn’t save him. He’s hoping he can save you! Sometimes, who we wish we were, what we wish, what we can do, is just not meant tom be.

Chief Tui: There would come a time when you would stand on this peak like I did, like my Father did and place a stone on this mountain. And on that day when you place your stone, you will raise this whole island higher. You are the future of our people Moana. They are not out their, they are right here. It’s time to be who they need you to be.

Moana: (Timid) I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea and restore the heart of Te Fiti. The ocean is a friend of mine…next stop Maui! (Brave but not confident) I am Moana of Motunui, you will board my boat! So Maui, (Brave) Maui! Demigod of the wind and sea, I am Moana of Motunui. (Confident) You will board my boat! No! (Strong) You will board my boat! Yeah! (Proud and Powerful) I am Moana of Motunui!

Tamatoa: Huhuhu: What have we here?” It’s a sparkly, shiny, wait a minute…It’s a human. What are you doing down here in the realms of the monsters… You’re a funny looking thing aren’t you! Ooh What’s this, it’s your Grandma. I ate my Grandma!…Are you trying to get me to talk about myself? Because I will gladly do so…in song form!

Once upon a time there was a little ogre named Shrek, who lived with his parents in a bog by a tree. It was a pretty nasty place, but he was happy because ogres like nasty. On his 7th birthday the little ogre’s parents sat him down to talk, just as all ogre parents had for hundreds of years before. Ahh, I know it’s sad, very sad, but ogres are used to that – the hardships, the indignities. And so the little ogre went on his way and found a perfectly rancid swamp far away from civilization. And whenever a mob came along to attack him he knew exactly what to do. Rooooooaaaaar! Hahahaha!

Can I just say? That was incredible! Man, they were trippin’ over themselves to get away from you. I liked that. Say, you lost or something? You’re trying to figure out the best route to Duloc? I know Duloc! You gotta let me show you the way, because I am like a GPS with fur! C’mon, nobody’s fine on their own. Not when you look like we do. Man this place is goin’ Stepford! We gotta join forces. Otherwise they’re gonna lock me up. I can not go back in a cage. I don’t know if I mentioned it but I did 6 years in solitary for impersonating a piñata.

Anna: This is nice, Elsa. Us talking. Maybe we can do it more often? And maybe … we could keep the gates open? Let a little life back into the halls? Tell me why we can’t? Who’s stopping us? You’re the Queen; you can do whatever you want. Elsa, come back. Where are you going?

OLAF: Anna? I picked the lock with my carrot nose – turns out it is cute and useful! Wait, Hans is the one who locked you in this cold room? I guess it wasn’t true love. Love is putting someone else’s needs before yours. We’ve got to go find Kristoff, before you freeze to death! He’s the only one who can save your life!

ELSA: Anna! I’m so happy to see you. I never knew I could create something like this. You don’t have to apologize. It wasn’t your fault. Yes, Father & Mother know about my magic. I had to hide my powers for your own safety, Anna. I nearly killed you, and we were only six years old. My powers are much stronger than they were. You should probably go now, please!
