Here’s what Lin-Manuel Miranda posted after taking over Disney Animation’s Instagram account
Lin-Manuel Miranda took over Disney Animation’s Instagram account today, crooning bits of some of his favorite Disney tunes.
The #linstagram stunt was part of the walk-up to the release of the latest trailer for “Moana,” which is due in theaters at Thanksgiving.
Miranda, of course, is the genius behind Broadway’s “Hamilton” and brings a huge following of “Hamilton” fans to Disney Animation. He appears in some of the videos with the movie’s stars, Dwayne Johnson and Hawaiian newcomer Auli’i Cravalho.
Set in the South Pacific, “Moana” is the story of a young woman who sets sail in search of a fabled island in the company of demigod Maui. Miranda collaborated on the music with composer Mark Mancina, who wrote arrangements for “The Lion King,” among many others; and Opetaia Foa’I, a New Zealand musician who is songwriter and lead vocalist for the world music group Te Vaka.
