Disney’s Moana: Live Action (2025) brings the beloved animated adventure to life with stunning visuals, heartfelt performances, and a fresh cultural authenticity.

Auli’i Cravalho passes the torch to a new young actress as Moana, while Dwayne Johnson reprises his role as the charismatic demigod Maui, bringing his larger-than-life energy from voice to screen.

Set against breathtaking island landscapes and guided by a reimagined score, the film retains its core themes of identity, courage, and connection to heritage. The live-action adaptation doesn’t stray far from the original but deepens the emotional realism and world-building with practical effects and lush cinematography.
