12 Steps of The Hero's Journey (Joseph Campbell) in Disney's MOANA

Learn each step of The Hero's Journey, or monomyth, created by Joseph Campbell through the Disney movie, MOANA.

Understanding Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey is critical to learning how to tell a compelling story, and why some of our favorite stories captivate us the way they do. This is going to be the Hero's Journey explained, as I walk you through exactly how the Hero's Journey is structured and how to structure a plot based on it.

On behalf of my grandchildren, Claire, thank you for making the monomyth so accessible.

You did a good job breaking down Moana, as well as simplifying the Hero's Journey. Thanks.

You did SO WELL with this video! I'm having my 10th graders watch it today so they can fill out a Hero's Journey worksheet :)

Great work, thanks a million....taking a class to meet a requirement I don't watch movies and now realize how much I am missing but 'll never wanna break a film down tick by Film makers to me appear to be Psychologist in disguise.

We talked about the hero’s journey in my English class last year. I’m excited to learn more about it!

[TexasTrosper]

[hamishprendergast]

I've always wanted to write a book and I'm currently at the stage of still world building, figuring a lot of the details and mapping it all out. I've listened to a couple people explain the heroes journey with loose examples but having a full movie broken down and explained is super helpful so thank you very much.

[JoshWagner-vm]

Thank you for this! Using this to teach Middle Schoolers about the Hero's Journey today.

Great job !!! Thanks for posting !! 👏👏👏❤🥰

Question then, does that mean every "hero" story must be told like this all in one book or something similar? I'm asking cause I'm trying to write a book and their heros journey isn't completed in one book but is stretched before he could be what he is meant to be. Think like a comic book where how in modern descriptions of Spider-Man it takes Peter Parker awhile to truly get the handle of being Spider-Man and balancing out great power and responsibility.

Thank you Claire for the educational, eye opening study of the Heros journey. I enjoyed the way you have presented the study. I am at the infancy of my journey as a hopeful novelist, and take courage from this sincere video.

Wer muss das auch wegen der Schule sehen 😂

How much money did you spend in all those classes when you could have just read Campbell's book?
