Disney Finds its Moana!

Disney has found their Moana! The studio announced today, October 7, Native Hawaiian newcomer Auli’i Cravalho would voice the new character.

She joins Dwayne Johnson, who plays Maui in the new animated tale. In the movie, “Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast South Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania.

But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one today knows why. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes Moana, a sweeping, CG-animated adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest.

During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli’i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds.”

The movie sails into theaters on November 23, 2016! Auli’i is too cute!
