Three thousand years
ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast Pacific,
discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their
voyages stopped – and no one knows why. From Walt Disney Animation
Studios comes “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous
teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her
journey, Moana (voice of Auliʻi Cravalho) meets the mighty demigod Maui (voice
of Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder.
Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage,
encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana
fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s
always sought: her own identity. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of
Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The
Princess & the Frog”) and produced by Osnat Shurer (“Lifted,” “One Man
Band”), “Moana” sails into U.S. theaters on Nov. 23, 2016.
