Some New Moana Clips and the Moana Soundtrack

Moana Soundtrack

One incredibly beautiful movie is coming to theaters on November 23, 2016. The movie is already looking visually beautiful but now I have some clips of songs that are in my opinions going to be beautiful as well. Beautiful and incredibly funny. Here is a clip of Moana meeting Maui and you can see how full of himself Maui is but at the same time completely unaware of how grating that can be. Maui just is who he is. Then later I have a clip of that sort of thing in a musical form.

“Moana Meets Maui”

Also, set for release on November 18, the Moana original motion picture soundtrack features seven original songs and a full original score, plus two reprises as well as two end-credit versions of songs from the film. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Moana” opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 23, 2016.

The diverse and dynamic team behind the film’s inspired music includes Tony®- and Grammy®-winning songwriter/composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, who counts among his credits Broadway’s Pulitzer Prize-winning and multiple Tony-winning “Hamilton” and the Tony-winning “In the Heights.” The creative team also includes three-time Grammy®-winning composer Mark Mancina (“Speed,” “Tarzan” and the Oscar®-winning “Training Day”) and Opetaia Foa‘i, the founder and lead singer of Te Vaka, a winner of numerous world music awards.

Photo-A-Day #4177

Today I received five new books in the mail. These were from Disney-Hyperion and I received them for free. I’ll be doing an actual review of them close to when the movie, Moana is released. I wouldn’t want to spoil it for anyone.

Four of the books were for the movie Moana and the fifth book is a new one from Mo Willems. We love Mo Willems in this house. The new book, Nanette’s Baguette (affiliate link) is a funny story about a young girl off to buy her first baguette on her own. This will be out in stores on October 25th for $17.99. I love this little blurb about the book.

“Set in a meticulously handcrafted-paper-modeled French village, the uniquely vibrant laugh-out-loud world of Nanette’s Baguette may be Mo’s best creation yet. Get set to krack into an irresistible tale you won’t soon forget!“

The other four books are related to the movie Moana. There is a beautiful children’s picture book, a coloring book, a story book with a CD and a young adult novelization of the movie. These are all beautiful books and they make me even more excited for the movie to be released on November 23, 2016. One of the books, The Story of Moana: A Tale of Courage and Adventure (affiliate link), is something that I know Eva is going to want to read. I want to read it as well but I want to be surprised by the movie.
