For centuries, the
greatest sailors in the world masterfully navigated the vast Pacific,
discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, 3,000 years ago, their
voyages stopped for a millennium– and no one knows exactly why.

sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who is inspired
to leave the safety and security of her island on a daring journey to save her
people.
Inexplicably drawn
to the ocean, Moana (voice of Auliʻi Cravalho) convinces the mighty demigod
Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson) to join her mission and he reluctantly helps her
become a wayfinder like her ancestors who sailed before her. Together, they voyage
across the open ocean on an action-packed adventure, encountering enormous
monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills her quest and discovers
the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity.

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 South African. theatres
