This Episode originally Aired on the Legends of Fandom in 2017.

So many of Walt Disney’s movies feature an orphan, and many of the stories came that way originally, but was there a reason for those stories being chosen over others? In this episode, we explore the supposed origins of the Disney Orphan Club and how they are inducting new members even in the modern movies like the character Maui from Moana. 

If you enjoyed this look into the Legends that inspired Maui Head over to LegendsOfFandom.com/support to see how you can support this show. Whether it’s signing up for an audible trial and getting two books for free, giving as little as a dollar a month on Patreon, or even just telling a friend, it would mean the world to me.
