About The Movie
Moana is a live-action musical adventure that brings the story of the 2016 animated film to real life. It follows Moana, a spirited young woman chosen by the ocean itself to restore balance to her world.
When a blight threatens her island home of Motunui, she must voyage beyond the reef and return the heart of the goddess Te Fiti. Along the way she crosses paths with the legendary but egotistical demigod Maui, who becomes an unlikely ally on her quest.
The journey tests Moana’s courage and forces both her and Maui to confront their own identities and responsibilities. The film mixes sweeping ocean visuals, musical numbers and moments of humor with themes of family, legacy and listening to one’s inner voice.
Catherine Laga’aia makes her film debut in the title role, while Dwayne Johnson returns as Maui. Directed by Thomas Kail, the movie runs for 115 minutes and is presented in English.
It aims to deliver the same sense of wonder and adventure that made the original story popular with audiences around the world.
