A summer blockbuster ocean adventure Movie 〈Moana〉 is a live-action film that brings the animated story of the same name to the screen. It’s the brightest ocean adventure movie of this summer, following Moana, a girl chosen by the sea (Catherine Laga‘eaea), as she sets sail into uncharted waters with the legendary hero Maui (Dwayne Johnson) to save the island trapped under a curse.

Overwhelming passion from Dwayne Johnson and Catherine Laga‘eaea The behind-the-scenes video, capturing the set work on the live-action film 〈Moana〉 as well as the actors’ and production team members’ thoughts, showcased the passion of Dwayne Johnson and Catherine Laga‘eaea.

A dazzling visual feast and the payoff of perfect teamwork Along with stunning natural scenery, the film also sets up plenty to look forward to by including the process of bringing 〈Moana〉 to life—beautiful costumes and energetic choreography, among other elements.
