Over the years, fans of Disney’s classic films have enjoyed seeing the iconic entertainment studio reimagine animated favorites as live-action adaptations.
This year, fans revisited the film that started it all with Snow White, and, moving into the summer, took a Hawaiian roller-coaster ride with the always-popular Lilo & Stitch.
While these titles have brought plenty of excitement, fans have been eagerly awaiting the next entry in Disney’s growing collection of live-action films—one that now has an official release date of July 10, 2026: the live-action adaptation of the more recent hit film, Moana.
As we enter the heart of winter and the weather continues to cool, what better way to warm ourselves up than with this tropical first look in the film’s debut trailer?
In Disney’s live-action adaptation of the beloved Oscar®-nominated animated adventure, Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia) answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people. The film is directed by Emmy® and Tony Award® winner Thomas Kail (“Hamilton”); produced by Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Beau Flynn, Hiram Garcia and Lin-Manuel Miranda; and executive produced by Thomas Kail, Scott Sheldon, Charles Newirth and Auliʻi Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the animated features “Moana” and “Moana 2.” Audiences can experience the brilliant cinematic sights, sounds and songs of “Moana” in U.S. theaters on July 10, 2026.
