Sensational First Teaser Trailer for Disney Animation’s MOANA
I’ve been excited about Disney’s upcoming animated film Moana since I saw the first footage from it at D23 last year. This looks like it's going to be an incredible film that tells a wonderful story in a visually stunning way. Today we have the first trailer for the film for you to watch, and if you're a fan of Disney, there's no doubt that you're going to love what you see. It seems like it has the makings of another Disney animated classic.
Moana was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker (Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Princess and the Frog), and it follows Moana (voiced by Auli’i Cravalho) who is guided by the demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) on an adventure in the South Pacific. Here’s the full synopsis:
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 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 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.
