Inexplicably drawn to the ocean, Moana convinces the mighty demigod Maui (voiced by Dwayne Johnson) to join her mission, and he reluctantly helps her become a \u2018wayfinder\u2019 like her ancestors who sailed before her.<\/p>\n<p>Together, they voyage across the open ocean on an action-packed adventure, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana fulfills her quest and discovers the one thing she\u2019s always sought: her own identity.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Moana Official Trailer\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LKFuXETZUsI?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The film also features some wonderful home-grown Mzansi talent. Disney Africa is proud to announce that South African singer-songwriter and performing artist Lira, has recorded her own version of How Far I\u2019ll Go. Lira\u2019s recording will feature on the South African version of the film as the first end-credit song when Moana hits cinemas from Friday 02 December nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow Far I\u2019ll Go beautifully encapsulates the elements of Moana that resonate with me, to break away from conformity, to be bold, go out and discover what makes you uniquely you,\u201d says Lira. \u201cIt\u2019s a real honour to be involved! Also, the fact that Disney is able to incorporate and feature African voices in projects such as this, is truly exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Disney&#039;s MOANA - &quot;How Far I&#039;ll Go&quot; - Performed by Lira\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NMllYJstZAk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The running time of the film is 103 mins and it carries a PG classification.
