Today has been an amazing day for fans eager to see more of the amazing upcoming Disney animated film, Moana. Earlier today, Lin-Manuel Miranda took over Disney Animation Instagram and now we are being treated to a brand new look at the film. In the clip we get to see further into the journey of Maui, voiced by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Moana, voiced by Auli'i Carvalho. Take a look:
In the clip, we are immediately invested in the world of Moana as soon as a voice says, "In the beginning there was only ocean." We then get a beautiful look at the landscape of the film and then we hear Moana say, "Let's save the world." The clip then gives us a closer look into the story of Moana and Maui. Maui says, "I'm not going on a mission with some kid." Moana replies, "You'd be a hero. That's what you're all about right?" We can already tell this story is going to be both heartwarming and hilarious.
Finally we hear Moana say, "The ocean chose me for a reason," and we see her light a torch. This new clip is just further proof that Moana is going to be absolutely amazing. We can't wait to see the story unfold on Thanksgiving.
