Disney announces 2016 release for animated feature ‘Moana’

Disney Animation announced today that it will release its 56th animated feature, Moana, in late 2016 — two years ahead of its originally predicted 2018 date.

Moana is described as a sweeping, CG-animated comedy-adventure, and takes place in ancient Oceania in the South Pacific. The film will tell the story of its titular teenage character, young Polynesian sea-voyager and born navigator Moana Waialikia. Originally described as a mythic adventure set around 2000 years ago and across a series of islands in the South Pacific, the film will follow her journey in search of a fabled island to complete her ancestor’s quest. During her journey she will teams up with the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds, and ancient folklore.
