We're willing to place all our bets now and go all in on 'Moana' being bigger than 'Frozen'. There, we said it.
The Japanese trailer for Disney's 'Moana' forgoes all of The Rock's posturing as demi-god Maui and instead focuses on the younger version of the titular Moana and the Pacific Ocean itself, which appears to be taking on a life-like role in the film.
Directed and written by the people behind 'Aladdin' and 'The Little Mermaid', and with music by Lin-Manuel Miranda of 'Hamilton', there's no way it isn't going to be a hit.
Here's the official synopsis:
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.
'Moana' is set for release in Irish cinemas on December 2nd.
