New ‘Moana’ poster showcases characters, voiced by Auli‘i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson
Disney dropped a new poster for the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ South Pacific adventure, Moana. The Little Mermaid team of Ron Clements and John Musker deliver a new story of self-discovery with Dwayne Johnson and newcomer Auli’I Cravalho voicing the two main characters.
Cravalho voices the eponymous 16-year-old navigator, with Johnson as Maui, a half-god, half-mortal, all-awesome character. Maui wields a fishhook with magical powers — check them out in the new poster below.
An ode to Polynesian culture set 2,000 years ago, the plot follows Moana, a spirited girl who has been born to the sea. When she sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest, she encounters the once-mighty Maui. Together, they embark on an action-packed voyage, and encounter impossible odds.

Synopsis: 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 exactly 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 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. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess & the Frog”), produced by Osnat Shurer (“Lifted,” “One Man Band”), and featuring music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa‘i, “Moana” sails into U.S. theaters on Nov. 23, 2016.
