Production notes

The film title Moana means "water" in Polynesian.
To be animated in the 2D/3D hybrid style similar to Disney's Paperman. It will be will be Musker and Clement's fifth animated film for Disney, and their first computer-animated film. However, Director John Musker adds that "it's far too early to apply the Paperman hybrid technique to a feature."
In October 2014, the release date was moved up from 2018 to "late 2016".
This was the 56th film in the official Disney list of animated films.
