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. MOANA is 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 (Auli'i Cravalho) meets the once mighty demi-god Maui (Dwayne Johnson),
and together, they traverse the open ocean on an
action packed voyage,
encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds, and along the
way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers
the one thing she's always sought: her own identity!

NICOLE SCHERZINGER STARS
While newcomer Auli‘i Cravalho lends her voice to the title character, who dreams of becoming a master wayfinder, and Dwayne Johnson to Maui — her love interest, half god, half mortal - probably 
the shiniest addition to the cast is one of world's most talented pop stars Nicole Scherzinger who lends her voice to Sina, Moana's mother. 
Playful, sharp and strong-willed, Sina appreciates Moana’s longing to be on the water, but also wants to protect her daughter from the fabled
dangers beyond the reef. Temuera Morrison voices Moana’s father, Chief Tui, the gregarious and well-respected leader of the people of Motunui Island!

Moana's pets include Pua, her loyal pet pig with puppy energy and an innocent puppy brain. Alan Tudyk is behind the voice of Heihei, a dumb rooster who accidently stows away on Moana’s canoe. Jemaine 
Clement provides the voice of Tamatoa, a self-absorbed, 50-foot crab who lives in Lalotai, the realm of monsters. Rachel House voices Gramma Tala, Moana’s confidante and best friend, who shares her
granddaughter’s special connection to the ocean! And then there are also The Kakamora, an intense team of crazy, coconut-armored pirates who will stop at nothing to get what they want
