One movie that my kids have been waiting for all year is Disney’s MOANA! It looks so good and I am looking forward to my girls having another strong female lead to look up to. Learning how to be strong and independent can be challenging, and I know that they are going to love MOANA and relate to her on many different levels. Disney just released all these fun MOANA Coloring Pages and Activity Sheets so I wanted to share them with you! The movie comes out November 23, 2016, so mark your calendars and take your family for a fun Thanksgiving activity!

Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped โ and no one knows exactly why. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes โMoana,โ a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auliโi Cravalho) meets the mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing sheโs always sought: her own identity. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (โThe Little Mermaid,โย โAladdin,โ โThe Princess & the Frogโ), produced by Osnat Shurer (โLifted,โ โOne Man Bandโ), and featuring music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foaโi, โMoanaโ sails into U.S. theatersย on Nov. 23, 2016.

Walt Disney Animation Studiosโ new feature film โMoanaโ is about an adventurous teenager who, with help from demigod Maui, sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and save her people.

Notes:
- Filmmakers auditioned hundreds of talented young women throughout the Pacific Islands before finding the gifted Native Hawaiian Auliโi Cravalho, who did not initially pursue the coveted role. The filmโs Hawaiโi-based casting director recalled her singing performance from a video submission for a fundraiser/talent showcase and asked Auliโi to come in and try out. Three auditions later, including her first trip to Burbank, Calif., she earned the title role, thanks to raw talent.
- Dwayne Johnson stars in the critically acclaimed โBallersโ for HBO, directed by Peter Berg. Last year, he starred in the blockbusters โFurious 7โ and โSan Andreas.โ Johnson appears in โCentral Intelligenceโ opposite Kevin Hart for New Line, the big-screen adaptation of โBaywatchโ and โFast 8.โ
- The diverse and dynamic team behind the filmโs inspired music includes Tonyยฎ- and Grammyยฎ-winning lyricist/composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, whoโs behind Broadwayโs Pulitzer Prize-winning and multiple Tony-winning โHamiltonโ and the Tony-winningย โIn the Heights,โ and is a 2015 MacArthur Foundation Award recipient. Three-time Grammyยฎ-winning composer Mark Mancina created memorable scores for films like โSpeed,โ โTarzanโ and the Oscarยฎ-winning โTraining Day,โ and also co-wrote songs, produced and arranged the score for Broadwayโs musical production of โThe Lion King.โ Opetaia Foaโi, the founder and lead singer of Te Vaka, is a winner of numerous world music awards, including the Senior Pacific Artist award for his contribution to Pacific music.
- Directors Ron Clements and John Musker made their writing-directing debut on the 1986 feature โThe Great Mouse Detective.โ They went on to write and direct some of Disneyโs most beloved animated classics, including the undersea adventure โThe Little Mermaidโ in 1989, the hilarious hit โAladdinโ in 1992, 1997โs epic comedy โHerculesโ and, most recently, 2009โs โThe Princess and the Frog.โ
- Producer Osnat Shurer served as the executive producer of the shorts group at Pixar Animation Studios, responsible for Pixar’s short films, as well as all DVD bonus materials. While at Pixar, Shurer produced or executive produced a host of hit shorts, including the Oscarยฎ-nominated โLiftedโ (2006), โOne Man Bandโ (2005) and โBoundinโโ (2003).
