Walt Disney Animation Studios Announces 2016 Release, Moana

Walt Disney Animation Studios revealed plans today for Moana, a sweeping, CG-animated comedy-adventure about a spirited teenager on an impossible mission to fulfill her ancestors\' quest. In theaters in late 2016, the film is directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (

"John and I have partnered on so many films - from \'The Little Mermaid\' to \'Aladdin\' to \'The Princess and the Frog,\'" said Clements. "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 ancient South Pacific world of Oceania, Moana, a born navigator, sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking 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."
