Disney has a new animation in the works.
Set in Oceania, the comedy adventure is titled “Moana” and centres on a spirited teenager on an impossible mission to fulfill her ancestors’ quest.
Ron Clements and John Musker will direct the pic which is set to bow in late 2016.
“John and I have partnered on so many films—from ‘The Little Mermaid’ to ‘Aladdin’ to ‘The Princess and the Frog,’” Clements said. “Creating ‘Moana’ is one of the great thrills of our career. It’s a big adventure set in this beautiful world of Oceania.”
In the film, Moana sets sail in search of a fabled island. Teaming up with her hero – the legendary demi-god Maui – she encounters enormous sea creatures, underworlds and ancient folklore.
“Moana is indomitable, passionate and a dreamer with a unique connection to the ocean itself,” Musker said. “She’s the kind of character we all root for, and we can’t wait to introduce her to audiences.”
