Walt Disney Animation Studios has unveiled the first concept art from the upcoming animated movie Moana. Coming to theaters in 2016, the comedy adventure film will be directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, the filmmaking team behind The Little Mermaid, The Princess and the Frog, and Aladdin.

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.”

The Plot:

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.
