Our days might not be quite as carefree as they were over the summer, but rest assured that we are still making it out to the theater a few times a month! There are a ton of great movies out for kids right now and many more on the horizon, like Disney Animation Studios’ Moana! I first heard about this movie in the spring, and I’ve been anxiously awaiting it’s release ever since. Luckily, we don’t have much longer to wait!
Due out this November, Moana is a tale about an ambitious teenage girl who – with the help of demigod Maui – sets out on a voyage to prove herself a master wayfinder and save her people. I just love the message of this movie and can’t wait to bring my girls. You can check out the brand new trailer here:
More about Moana:
Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one knows exactly why. 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 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. Directed by the 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 U.S. theaters on Nov. 23, 2016.
So what do you think? Will you be at the theater when Moana is released? I will!
