MOANA Sets Sail With Maui In New Trailer

A girl and a demigod form an unlikely friendship in new MOANA trailer!

Gorgeous animation and witty banter burst from the screen in the latest trailer for Disney’s upcoming Polynesian adventure, Moana!

The video starts with an elder speaking of an ancient prophecy, one that will send a legendary hero seeking out the demigod Maui and together, they will defeat a great evil. From there, things focus in on Moana and Maui’s initial meeting, the demigod’s doubts about working with a young girl, and the unique powers they’ll bring to the fight– Maui can transform into animals, but Moana has a special connection with the ocean. Oh, and the coconut monsters known as the Kakamora are there for some serious chuckles!

Moana crashes into theaters on November 23, 2016.

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.
