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 Auli’i Cravalho) meets the once-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 animation vets Ron Clements and John Musker (The Little Mermaid), Moana will be released in theaters on November 23, 2016.
I know you are not a fan of musicals, but Lin-Manuel Miranda is the real deal. Rap music is not my thing, yet Hammilton has won me over. May he flourish in Hollywood. I hear he’s been cast in Mary Poppins Returns, as a new character and not (thank God) Dick Van Dyke’s. I continue to play the devil’s advocate wen it comes to that movie… as long as they continue to draw from the work of P.L.Travers, and hire talented people (which they’re clearly doing) it might be OK.
