New Clip From Disney’s ‘Moana’ Introduces Our Heroine To Maui

A new clip is out from Disney’s Moana, probably one of the best looking animated features from the studio in the last couple years… and that’s saying something. The footage from the clip is an expanded version from one of the trailers. In it, Moana is having her first meeting with Maui, and getting a little taste of just how big an ego she’s going to have to handle.

Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one knows why. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli’i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity.
