Here’s a synopsis:
In ancient Oceania in the South Pacific, the young Moana is a born navigator who sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her journey, she teams up with her hero and legendary demi-god Maui.
The film promises to be a classic Disney adventure, filled with breathtaking visuals, strong characters, great music and a warm tone.
The trump card here is not Dwayne Johnson for once. It is the man of the year: Lin-Manuel Miranda. The genius behind the hit Broadway musical Hamilton is a co-composer for Moana, and for a many around the world who haven’t had access to Hamilton, this will be their first experience of his work.
