Moana (2025)
The 2025 live-action adaptation of Moana reimagines the beloved 2016 Disney animated film with a fresh cinematic vision. Directed by Thomas Kail, the film revisits the vibrant Polynesian world where a brave young girl sets sail across the ocean to save her people and find her true destiny. This remake brings to life the lush landscapes, cultural heritage, and the powerful narrative of self-discovery and courage that made the original a global success.
With a screenplay written by Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller, the live-action version stays true to the spirit of the original while offering new perspectives through live performances and practical effects. The heart of the story remains centered around Moana, a strong-willed teenager who answers the ocean’s call and embarks on an epic journey accompanied by the demigod Maui.
