About the film
From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes Moana, a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who, with the help from demigod Maui, sails out on a daring mission to save her people.
The story is inspired in part by oral histories of the people and cultures of Oceania, where filmmakers traveled to learn as much as possible. For centuries, the greatest navigators in the world masterfully navigated the vast Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, around 3,000 years ago, their voyages stopped for a millennium – and though there are theories, no one knows exactly why.
If you’re a Disney fan, an animator, budding director or producer, don’t miss out on this exclusive preview of Moana.
About the film makers…
John Musker is a renowned storyteller and filmmaker at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Born in Chicago, Ill., Musker knew by age 8 that he wanted to become an animator. Following graduation from college in 1974, Musker set out for California to pursue a career as an animator. With his longtime collaborator, Ron Clements, Musker has written and directed iconic feature films that have become part of Disney’s legacy, including beloved classics like “The Little Mermaid” in 1989 and “Aladdin” in 1992, as well as Disney’s 2009 return to hand-drawn animation, “The Princess and the Frog.”
Ron Clements is a renowned storyteller and filmmaker at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Born and raised in Sioux City, Iowa, Clements traces his interest in animation to his first viewing of “Pinocchio” at age 9. With persistence and determination, Clements was finally accepted into Disney’s Talent Development Program, a training ground for young animators. He quickly progressed through the ranks from in-betweener to assistant to animator-storyman. His credits include “Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Too,” “The Rescuers,” and “Pete’s Dragon”. He has collaborated with Jon Musker on many iconic films, including “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin” and “The Princess and the Frog”.
Osnat Shurer joined Walt Disney Animation Studios in 2012. She previously worked at Pixar Animation Studios, responsible for Pixar’s short films, she produced Oscar®-nominated “Lifted” (2006), “One Man Band” (2005) and “Boundin” (2003). She also produced the 2005 animation short “Artscape,” a wide-screen digital art installation for New York’s Museum of Modern Art, and was consulting producer on the 2011 Golden Globe®-nominated feature “Arthur Christmas.”
