Walt Disney Animation Studios revealed plans today for Moana, a sweeping, CG-animated comedy-adventure about a spirited teenager on an impossible mission to fulfill her ancestors’ quest. In theaters in late 2016, the film is directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (The Little Mermaid, The Princess and the Frog, Aladdin).
In the ancient South Pacific world of Oceania, Moana, a born navigator, sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore.
“John and I have partnered on so many films—from The Little Mermaid to Aladdin to The Princess and the Frog,” said Clements. “Creating Moana is one of the great thrills of our career. It’s a big adventure set in this beautiful world of Oceania.”
“Moana is indomitable, passionate and a dreamer with a unique connection to the ocean itself,” Musker said. “She’s the kind of character we all root for, and we can’t wait to introduce her to audiences.”
Sounds interesting.

Sadly no. The article refers to this being a CG animated film. The problem is the last two 2D animated films didn’t do well enough at the box office. 2009’s The Princess and the Frog and 2011’s Winnie the Pooh, but I see bigger reasons why those films suffered. Princess and the Frog went up against Avatar, and Winnie the Pooh was released the same weekend directly against the final Harry Potter film. But of course, Disney just sees it as “moviegoers don’t want 2D animation anymore.”
I actually remember Moana was said to be a 2D movie :/ I want more 2D movies again. Really good animation, with really good songs and a great story is all they need. CGI shouldn’t be the only thing from now on.

I am calling it now: She is a demi-god thing too.

Let’s see if the show is even still on the air, which by that point it would be in its 6th Season.
