Disney's Moana

[RandomPrincess]

Some things coming out of SDCC - Moana will not have a love interest and voice cast announcements.

Jemaine Clement voices Tamatoa

Tamatoa is a self-absorbed 50-foot crab who lives in Lalotai, the realm of monsters. The conceited crustacean wants to be more than a “bottom-feeder” and overcompensates for this perceived shortcoming by covering himself in all things shiny.

Alan Tudyk voices Heihei
When the clueless chicken accidentally stows away in Moana’s canoe, he lands a front-row seat on her epic journey.

Temuera Morrison and Nicole Scherzinger play Chief Tui and Sina, Moana’s parents.

Tui, the well-respected leader of the people of Motunui Island, wants Moana to follow in his footsteps as leader of their people, but fears his daughter’s draw to the outside world. Strong-willed Sina appreciates Moana’s curiosity, but also wants to protect her daughter from the fabled dangers beyond the reef.

Rachel House voices Gramma Tala, Moana’s grandmother.
Moana’s confidante and best friend, she shares her granddaughter’s special connection to the ocean. Gramma Tala dances to the beat of her own drum.

Kakamora — an intense team of crazy, coconut-armored pirates who will stop at nothing to get what they want

Pua is Moana’s loyal puppy-like pet pig

Why does there need to be an animal companion for every hero?

because many people have animal companions in real life?

Downfall of the film for sure

some pigs are very smart...supposedly

 

[Donillary Crumpton]

I'm more impressed with the ocean wave which can style people's hair, as seen in the international trailer.

 

[RandomPrincess]

Disney has said the animals will not talk, should be interesting hearing Alan Tudyk making chicken noises.

 

[Sped2424]

New tv spot! The film is LOOKING GREAT! The animators also just announced animation for the film is finally done!

 

[Hakunamatata]

Just saw the new trailer. This movie is going to be big. I think Disney may have another Frozen in the making.

 

[Sped2424]

The soundtrack sounds phenomenal

 

[Fox&Hound]

Looks amazing!!!!!

First SONG teaser has been released a number called how far I'll go and it seems to be Moana's song.

lol you got me messed up I love let it go and I love musical films so I am loving this song regardless of hype.

I think the main concern I have about the music is that there seem to be 3 separate people individually writing songs, whereas Frozen had one team, Beauty & The Beast had one team, etc. Not to say multiple hands in the pot can't work- Oliver & Company also had Barry Manilow, Howard Ashman, and I think at least one other group all contributing, but then again, Oliver & Company is exactly at the forefront when you think "classic Disney musicals".

Who said they are individually writing songs? They are a team and co writing.
