Moana Movie Full English Direct

Title: Moana Director: Ron Clements, John Musker Release Date: November 23, 2016 (USA) Studio: Walt Disney Animation Studios Language: English (Original) 1. Synopsis (Full English Plot) The film opens with a Polynesian myth: the demigod Maui steals the heart of Te Fiti, a goddess-island, causing a darkness to spread across the ocean. A thousand years later, on the island of Motunui, young Moana, daughter of Chief Tui, is chosen by the ocean to return the heart.

As a teenager, Moana struggles between her duty as future chief (stay on the reef) and her innate desire to sail beyond. When the darkness blights her island’s crops and fish, Moana defies her father and ventures beyond the reef. She seeks out Maui (voiced by Dwayne Johnson), a boastful but insecure demigod trapped on a deserted island. Moana Movie Full English
