Synopsis
Moana is a 2016 American animated musical adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and directed by John Musker and Ron Clements from a screenplay by Jared Bush. The film stars Dwayne Johnson and Auliʻi Cravalho in her feature film debut. Its songs were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foaʻi, and Mark Mancina, who also composed the score. Set in ancient Polynesia, the film follows Moana (Cravalho), the strong-willed daughter of a village chief, who is chosen by the ocean to restore a mystical relic to the goddess Te Fiti. When a blight threatens her island, she sets sail in search of Maui (Johnson), a legendary demigod, in hopes of saving her people. The screenplay draws inspiration from Polynesian mythology.

Disney’s Moana Remake Shows the Limit of Selling the Same Wave Twice
The live-action Moana is trailing the 2016 original by a wide margin, and the gap says more than one weak opening weekend. Disney’s remake strategy works best when the new film gives audiences a reason to leave the old one behind.

The Open Search That Found Catherine Laga'aia's Moana Had Its Answer on Tape
Auli'i Cravalho saw the audition that put Catherine Laga'aia in the live-action Moana. The scale was huge, but what mattered was smaller: a young actor who already seemed to know who Moana was.
