Given that the Summer Olympics in Rio features people doing amazing things, Disney figured it was the right time to release a new TV spot for Moana, which features the voice of Auli'i Cravalho as the title character, questing to do something incredible and a demi-god (voiced by Dwayne Johnson) who already can do amazing things, but has largely chosen not to. Check it out below.

Moana is set at a time when her village's people, like most Pacific Islanders, have stopped their voyaging and largely stay in the safety of their reef. But Moana dreams bigger, and longs to start at adventure. Spurred by her grandmother's stories, she ends up traveling with porcine best pal Pua, idiot chicken Heihei (Alan Tudyk), and Maui, a demi-god and troublemaker who has his own scores to settle and a tattoo version of himself that acts as his conscience.

With Ron Clements and John Musker on directing duties and the likes of Jemaine Clement, Rachel House, Nicole Scherzinger and Temuera Morrison providing their voices, Moana will be out in the US on November 23 before sailing to UK shores on December 2.
