We’re counting the days until Moana‘s release, so it’s good of Disney to give us a little something to tide us over with a clip of Dwayne Johnson’s Maui singing!
As nice as this clip is, we still can’t wait for the Disney animation, which stars Auli’i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Nicole Scherzinger, Temuera Morrison and Jemaine Clement.
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 US theatres on 23 November, 2016.
Moana is in UK cinemas from 2 December. Get all the latest fantasy news with every issue of SciFiNow.
