One of Moana's pets is a low-IQ chicken named HeiHei ("hey-hey").

HeiHei doesn't have speaking lines, but all of his bawks and squawks were done by Disney voice actor veteran Alan Tudyk.

Tudyk will also be voicing a new robot in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." Jesse Grant/Getty

Last but not least, one of the sea monsters Moana meets is a hermit crab named Tamatoa.

Fans of "Flight of the Concords" will recognize the voice of comedian and actor Jemaine Clement. And yes, he does sing a song.
