For centuries, the greatest sailors in the world masterfully navigated the vast Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, 3,000 years ago, their voyages stopped for a millennium – and no one knows exactly why.

From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who is inspired to leave the safety and security of her island on a daring journey to save her people. Inexplicably drawn to the ocean, Moana (voice of Auliʻi Cravalho) convinces the mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson) to join her mission, and he reluctantly helps her become a wayfinder like her ancestors who sailed before her. Together, they voyage across the open ocean on an action-packed adventure, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills her quest and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess & the Frog”), produced by Osnat Shurer (“Lifted,” “One Man Band”), and featuring music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa‘i, “Moana” sails into UK cinemas on 2 December, 2016

Interviewer: Asks simple, yes or no question
Lin: Tells answer, gives 3 historical anecdotes, tells story from his childhood, drops some musical references, forgets the original question, be a sunshine ray

I don't know if it's just me, but I could listen to Lin talk all day. I love his voice.

[kateh]

Lin could make me buy anything. "Hey guys dirt is really awesome!"-Lin "MOM CAN I HAVE THE DIRT LIN LIKES????"

[racheltorres]

finally, a Disney movie where there is no forced romance!

[julianasosa]

Look at my son, proud is not the word I'm looking for, there is so much more inside me now

[mb]

I love his energy. It is so hard to find people like this in Hollywood. There normally just say monosyllables. He is so fresh. I hope he doesn't change. He is really funny and cool.

[esperanzajett]

His first answer is basically "don't forget from whence you came" hahaha

[Eliotic]

I LOVE THIS MAN!! I want to meet him so badly so he can sign the adoption papers

[maryrezin]

I need him to read some audio books so I can listen to his voice as I fall asleep... -Okay, yeah, that's not creepy at all-

[ShakespeareanWannabe]

"Yeah, Opetaia just started improvising by singing vowels so I went home and used that to write the lyrics." As though it's easy (I know it's not, but he talks as if that's normal). This guy renews my faith in humanity while also reminding me just how dumb I am in comparison

[marleneb.]

im only watching the movie for Lin and i kinda feel bad about it tbh

[oliviakatestephens]

Even though we started at the very same time
Lin Manuel Miranda began to climb
How to account for his rise to the top?
Man, the man is
Non-stop

[abbyprinster]

This is edited poorly but Lin is such sunshine that I don't even care

[monomoonchild]

Does this boy even own another sweater?

[irenebirgita]

how amazing to see the passion behind the works

[slux]

"We are trying to so a lot of things with the score of this movie" - 1. Win an Oscar

[makenaw]

The begginning reminded me of " don't forget from whence you came"

[catgoesmewow]

look at my son. pride is not the word I'm looking for

[imkabochan]

So, this is the face behind the voice I've just heard on Moana Soundtrack Audio only.
Now I know how a village of singing Lins looks like.

[jadecherry]

He should make a podcast with Jonathan Groff cus I could listen to their beautiful voices 24/7
