Disney has unveiled its new animated movie “Moana” directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, whose previous hits include “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin” and “The Princess And The Frog.” “Moana” will be a comedy-adventure about a spirited teenager on an impossible mission to fulfil her ancestors’ quest.
John said: “Moana is indomitable, passionate and a dreamer with a unique connection to the ocean itself. She’s the kind of character we all root for, and we can’t wait to introduce her to audiences.”
Ron added: “John and I have partnered on so many films. However, creating Moana is one of the great thrills of our career. It’s a big adventure set in this beautiful world of Oceania.” Set in the ancient South Pacific world of Oceania, Moana sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, incredible underworlds and ancient folklore.
The film is due to hit cinemas in 2016.
