See the first teaser trailer for Disney’s upcoming ‘Moana’
On a triumphant night for Broadway’s Lin-Manuel Miranda, Disney gave us a taste of the composer’s next work: Disney’s upcoming animated film “Moana.”
The movie’s first teaser trailer introduces us to Maui, a demigod voiced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and the title character, voiced by newcomer Auli’i Carvalho. Plus: We get a peek at Maui’s moving tattoo, which functions as his sidekick.
It also includes an original song, “We Know the Way,” written by Miranda, Samoan composer Opetaia Foa’i, and “Lion King” composer Mark Mancina.
Miranda, who recently was cast in the sequel to “Mary Poppins,” is the writer/composer/star of the Broadway blockbuster “Hamilton,” which won 11 Tony Awards tonight.
“Moana” arrives in theaters Nov. 23.
