Yup. Maui sings and he aint too bad! And check out Maui’s hair. That is the best animated hair I’ve seen since “Brave”.
Dwayne Johnson (voice of Maui) just revealed a brand new clip from Disney’s Moana exclusively on his Instagram account.
The clip features the debut of Maui’s song, “You’re Welcome,” written by Tony Award Winner & Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Here is another clip that was released called “Moana Meets Maui”:
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 U.S. theaters on Nov. 23, 2016.

Recalled halloween costumes, controversy, complaints from the PC police. This movie is doomed, doomed I tell you! So now I simply have to see Moana… when a host of opinion makers pile on without seeing more than a poster or a 15-second clip, that only makes me all the more curious to see it.
