Disney Animation are looking to knock it out of the park once again, and they’re bringing The Rock with them for Moana, the tale of young girl who must save her ocean faring people with the help of a once mighty demigod. Guess who Dwayne Johnson is playing.
As Disney teasers go, this is business as usual giving us a great feeling of the characters, especially Johnson’s Maui, who is his fun loving, charming self even when his voice is coming out of hulking caricature. And, as is the norm for Disney these days, the animation looks absolutely beautiful. Colour us excited for this.
Released: 23rd November (U.S.)/ 2nd December (IRL/U.S.)
Synopsis: 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.
