Animation Disney's 'Moana'

[Loki882]

Have they started casting yet (besides The Rock I mean)? Because it'll be interesting to see who they get for these roles.

 

[Majik1387]

I hope they continue casting Broadway actors in numerous roles.

i think this movie will be the best of all disney cg movies. looks uniquel and the story has a lot of potential to be new.

about the people working at Disney. on stage i see a lot of white skin

I just assume when it comes to US animation, you're mostly going to see White people, especially higher up the ladder. Just like the rest of Hollywood.

I met the directors Ron and John yesterday, nice guys. I took a picture with them.

That is awesome. I dig the look of both characters.

 

[Loki882]

-An actual teenager.
-A newcomer.
-A native Hawaiin.

Well-done Disney, well-done. And she seems really excited, which is a good sign.

 

[Snow Queen]

Man, they really should have gone with Emma Stone, she'd play a great Hawaiian.

 

[Loki882]

That was so dumb that even Emma herself has acknowledge how dumb it was. Although I suppose that animated films could get a little more leeway in that regard because it's just their voices. The character is still designed to look Polynesian.

Oh my gosh Moana looks so good! I love it already! I wish there was a constant stream of Disney films going straight into my eyeballs at all times.

Anyway two questions

1. Any word yet on who is playing the villain or what they look like? I'm sure they'll be worthy of the Disney pantheon of great villains.

2. What about a prince? Judging from the story and how cool Moana looks I'm not sure if this type of story needs one

 

[Golgo-13]

Great designs. What's also commendable is that Moana is not this stick thin teen, that so many princesses look like in older Disney movies...

 

[terry78]

She's got that Nani from Lilo and Stitch thing going.

Yeah I love that too. She looks powerful

 

[Loki882]

She should, given that the ancient Polynesian's kind of had to use paddle-bots to get most everywhere, or swim.

Definitely looking forward to this and so happy it was moved up to this year from 2018.

 

[Silvermoth]

Well there wasn't exactly a ton revealed there but I'm already sold so I can't wait. Moana looks so fierce

Hamilton star Phillipa Soo joins Disney's Moana

Oh wow can't wait to see her!
