Disney is showcasing its commitment to cinematic storytelling by taking the production of the live-action adaptation of ?Moana? all the way to the breathtaking shores of Hawaii. The film is currently being shot off the stunning coast of Oahu, where the tropical setting perfectly complements the adventurous spirit of the beloved character.

Recently, TMZ acquired exciting footage showing the production crew hard at work near Honolulu. The video captures scenes featuring the fearless heroine, Moana, as she gracefully navigates her canoe through the tranquil waters of a picturesque harbor, immersing viewers in the enchanting world of the film.

The actress portraying Moana is seen speeding across the shimmering waters while a barge, carrying the dedicated film crew, captures the action from a distance. There is some speculation regarding whether Catherine Laga?aia, the talented actress playing Moana, is actually on the boat or if a stunt double is performing these impressive maneuvers for the scene.

Witnesses on set report sightings of actors donning costumes that closely resemble the traditional attire worn by the characters in the animated film. This attention to detail is essential in bringing the beloved characters to life and ensuring authenticity in the live-action adaptation.

While there have been no confirmed sightings of Dwayne ?The Rock? Johnson on set yet, insiders believe that an individual with a distinctive mane of hair clad in traditional attire is likely John Tui, who plays Moana’s father. This has sparked excitement among fans eager to see the full cast in action.

The production team faced challenges with the ship remaining in the water overnight, leading to large cranes being employed to lift it out of the harbor and onto solid ground as filming wrapped for the day. Such logistical efforts highlight the complexity and scale of producing a live-action feature film.

As the crew diligently works on this much-anticipated live-action version of the original animated classic, Disney is also preparing to release the highly awaited animated sequel, Moana 2, slated to hit theaters on November 27. This dual approach is sure to excite fans of all ages.

The eagerly awaited sequel, Moana 2, promises to bring back much of the original cast, including fan favorites Dwayne Johnson, Auli?i Cravalho, Temuera Morrison, and Nicole Sherzinger. This reunion of talent is expected to capture the hearts of both new audiences and long-time fans alike.
