Disney Presents The First Trailer For Pacific Parable 'Moana'

The first trailer for Disney's next animated epic 'Moana' has finally arrived and so far we are loving Dwayne Johnson in his admittedly typecast role of a hulking, tattooed demi-god. Inspired by the directors' visits to Pacific islands the likes of Fiji, Samoa and Tahiti, this is a story of freedom, heart, and sunshine.

Moana is being portrayed by newcomer Auli'i Cravalho, while also featuring in the cast are Alan Tudyk ('Trumbo') and the Tony-nominated star of 'Hamilton' Phillipa Soo, who will play a villager of Moana's island Motunui.

Speaking of 'Hamilton', the genius behind the musical itself, Lin-Manuel Miranda, is also involved with the movie as co-writer and composer for the music alongside Opetaia Foa'i and Mark Mancina.

'Moana' comes to US theaters this Thanksgiving, November 23rd 2016.
