Meet Moana – the latest adventurous Disney teen, who will be sailing the Pacific Ocean to fulfill the quest of her ancestors. What does she look like? That remains a mystery for now, the comedy-adventure is scheduled to debut in late 2016.
Walt Disney Animations Studio have announced today that the film will be directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. Together these two have created the enchanting worlds of The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, as well as The Princess and the Frog. Let’s hope that the quirky characters, alluring villains and spirited girls featured in these films are a promise of good things to come in Moana. Here’s the first look at the film’s concept art:
The official synopsis from the press release says: “In the ancient South Pacific world of Oceania, Moana, a born navigator, sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore.”
