Disney’s Live-Action Moana: Sailing into a New Adventure
Disney has set sail on a new cinematic voyage by adding the live-action adaptation of the beloved animated film Moana to its upcoming slate. This decision comes as part of a series of changes and additions to Disney’s theatrical roster, driven in part by production delays caused by the Writers Guild of America’s strike, as well as the need to dedicate time to post-production and visual effects for its highly anticipated upcoming features.
The original release slot, previously reserved for an untitled movie on July 2, 2025, will now be filled by the live-action Moana film, and its release date has been moved up to June 27, 2025. This exciting news was initially confirmed by none other than Dwayne Johnson himself during Disney’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders Webcast. The charismatic actor, who voiced the character of Maui in the animated version, not only confirmed his involvement but also emphasized that the project is still in its early stages, leaving plenty of room for anticipation.

The original animated feature followed the adventures of Moana, a courageous teenager and the daughter of her tribe’s chief, who is chosen by the ocean for a special quest to save her people. Along her journey, she encounters the once-mighty demigod Maui, who becomes her guide in her quest to become a master way-finder. The story not only explores Moana’s determination but also delves into her personal journey of self-discovery and finding her place in the world.
The animated movie featured an impressive ensemble cast, including Dwayne Johnson, Auliʻi Cravalho, Rachel House, Temuera Morrison, Jermaine Clement, Nicolle Scherzinger, and Alan Tudyk. With its memorable songs and outstanding performances, the film became an instant fan favorite. While specific details about the live-action adaptation remain under wraps, Dwayne Johnson’s announcement assures fans that the new film will pay homage to all the elements that made the animated version so beloved.
One notable change in the live-action adaptation is that Auliʻi Cravalho will not be reprising her role as Moana. However, fans of the original will be pleased to know that she will be involved as a producer for the project. After the success of Disney’s live-action adaptation of “The Little Mermaid,” which received widespread acclaim and excitement, there is a heightened sense of anticipation for how Disney will bring the magical world of Moana to the big screen.
