Meet Moana, Disney’s newest and first Polynesian princess. Disney presented some new concept art, previews and music for the princess and her story at the D23 Expo last week. Dwayne Johnson was at the expo and will be voicing the character Maui, a demi-god, in the film.
The movie, which is being directing by John Musker and Ron Clements, best known for making films such as The Great Mouse Detective, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and The Princess and the Frog, is promising to be filled with adventure and a strong female lead. Moana sets out on an adventure on the open ocean. She encounters all sorts of interesting characters on her journey, including Dwayne Johnson’s character, the demi-god Maui.
Of course what Disney princess would be complete without a few animal sidekicks? Moana’s are a pig named Pau and a rooster named Hei-Hei, both of which you’re sure to fall in love with.
The music and vibes of this film sound amazing and it will definitely be a long wait until the film is released in November 2016. Until then, there's time to watch all the other Disney princess movies in preperation!
