Ever since I got a limited sneak peak of Disney’s Moana at the D23 Expo last year, I have really been looking forward to this film. I know that it is going to be huge. I have watched the teaser trailer over and over with my daughters – and we couldn’t be more excited about it. They keep asking when we will get to see the movie, and I promised them that I will take them to the theater on Thanksgiving to see it. This new TV spot is incredible – in it we learn a little bit more about Moana and Maui.
ABOUT THE MOVIE:
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 this Thanksgiving – Nov. 23, 2016.
