‘Moana’ is more vivid now as Disney announces new characters during Comic-Con

Magic and mysteries are something that each one of us is keen about, in a skeptical way or the other way round. However, one thing is inevitable; it’s the fact that no one can evade the charm provided by these stories replete with magical adventures, as most of them teach valuable lessons and provide vigour to our journey called ‘life’.

Moana, Disney’s upcoming feature plans to take everyone on a magical journey as the protagonist, a teenager named Moana from presumably the South Pacific Coast sets sails into the heart of the ocean with the demigod, Maui in order to uncover mysteries and finish a pending quest.

While we already knew that Moana would be voiced by Auli’i Cravalho, a 14 year old Hawaiian girl and Maui will be brought to life by none other than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, now during the San Diego Comic-Con, the makers of the film have finally revealed the rest of the voice cast for the animated adventure flick.

Behold!

Tui and Sina Moana
Voiced by Temura Morrison (Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Seven Nights), Chief Tui is the courageous leader of Moana’s tribe, Motunui and her father as well. Nicole Scherzinger (Grammy-nominated singer for West End’s ‘Cats’) will be voicing Sina, Moana’s mother who always stands up for her daughter and her calling for the ocean, but is witty enough to know that there are great dangers beyond the reef and into the ocean.

Gramma Tala Moana
Rachel House (Whale Rider, Hunt for the Wilderpeople) will be bringing life to Moana’s cheerful grandmother, Gramma Tala. She is the little girl’s confidante and supports her throughout.

HeiHei Moana
Alan Tudyk (Zootopia, Wreck-It Ralph, Big Hero 6) will voice HeiHei, the goofy village roster, who ends up on an unintended adventure with Moana.

Tamatoa Moana
Jemaine Clement (The BFG, Despicable Me) will be lending his voice to Tamatoa. Living in Lalotai, the crab is described as “a self-absorbed, 50-foot crab … who wants to be more than a ‘bottom feeder’ and overcompensates for this perceived shortcoming by covering himself in all things shiny.”

Kakamora Moana
The cast also includes the Kakamora, a band of coconut-armoured pirates, who are crazy enough to follow anything until they get it!

Pua MoanaWe also have Pua, Moana’s innocent pet pig with an incredibly infectious energy, and an adorably cute look.

Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, the movie is set to release worldwide this year on 23 November.
