Audiences this summer will find out how far she’ll go when Disney blows reimagined, live-action wind into Moana’s sails as she again sets out on her epic journey.

You can now get a sneak peek of the voyage in a new trailer and poster for the upcoming highly anticipated version of “Moana,” starring Catherine Lagaʻaia as the wayfinding title heroine and Dwayne Johnson reprising his role from the beloved animated film as trickster demigod Maui.

The “Moana” cast also includes John Tui as Moana’s no-nonsense father, Chief Tui; Frankie Adams, who portrays Moana’s playful and strong-willed mother, Sina; and Rena Owen as Moana’s revered Gramma Tala.

A special “Artistry of Moana” featurette is also now available, offering a special behind-the-scenes look at the making of the live-action “Moana,” with commentary from Johnson, Lagaʻaia, Emmy and Tony Award-winning director Thomas Kail, costume designer Liz McGregor and choreographer Tiana Nonosina Liufau.
