Three thousand years ago, the world’s greatest navigators discovered the countless islands of Oceania on their voyages across the Pacific. However, they then stopped sailing for a whole millennium, and no one knows the reason why. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ film “Moana” is a captivating animation that tells the story of an adventurous young girl who embarks on a daring journey to save her people.

During her journey, Moana encounters the once-mighty demigod Maui, who guides her as she aspires to become a master navigator. On their action-packed adventure, they sail through the tumultuous ocean, facing formidable monsters and challenging situations. Along the way, Moana fulfills the task of her ancestors and discovers something she has always been searching for: her true self.
