In ancient Polynesia, the young, soon-to-be-chieftain Moana must enlist the help of the shape-shifting demi-god Maui to find the heart of the goddess Te Fiti, and save her home from encroaching darkness by defying her father and venturing across the sea to confront Te Kā, the volcanic demon who defeated Maui a millennia ago.

Directed by animation legends Ron Clements and John Musker (The Little Mermaid (1989), Aladdin (1992), and featuring the voice talents of Auli’i Cravalho, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Temuera Morrison, Jemaine Clement and Rachel House, as well as songs penned by Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda, Moana is a breathtaking instant classic from Walt Disney Animation Studios.

This stunning concept art by Lisa Keane explores the budding relationship between baby Moana and the ocean, who becomes an important guide on her adventure.
