The Teaser Trailer for Moana has been Released

The Moana Poster

I just watched the teaser trailer for the upcoming Disney movie, Moana. It features the demi-god Maui heavily. Maui is being played by Dwanye Johnson and you have to watch closely because Maui pulls out one of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s signature moves. No, it is not “The People’s Elbow” but rather “The People’s Eybrow”. I laughed out loud when I saw it and realized what I was seeing. I used to be a heavy WWE fan at the height of The Rock’s popularity and I saw plenty of use out of that eyebrow.

I’m a very big fan of Dwayne Johnson which started with the WWE but continued on through his various roles in movies. I am also a big fan of Ballers on HBO which showcases his humorous acting ability and I’ve pretty much seen every movie that he has been in like the Fast and Furious ones, The Rundown and so many more. I’ll definitely be bringing the family to see this one when it releases. Check out the trailer below.

Auli’i Cravalho Cast as Title Character in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Moana

Moana and Maui

Disney’s newest female character, Moana will be having an adventure over a year from now. Native Hawaiian newcomer Auli’i Cravalho, 14, will join Dwayne Johnson in a mission of self discovery. I’m excited about this because I’m always looking for movies that feature strong female leads to share with Eva. This looks like ti will be a fun movie and I’ll be keeping an eye out for more news at it becomes available.

ABOUT THE MOVIE
Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast South Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one today knows why. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli’i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess & the Frog”), and produced by Osnat Shurer (“Lifted,” “One Man Band”), “Moana” sails into U.S. theaters on Nov. 23, 2016.
