Here’s a teaser for Zootopia:
Meanwhile, Moana is set in the South Pacific, whose people were known to be the best navigators 3000 years ago until they suddenly stopped. The character Moana wants to explore beyond the reef, but her father is against it. Her grandmother encourages her though, telling her stories of a demi-god, Maui, voiced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Other characters in Moana include Moana’s pet pig Pua, her rooster Hei Hei, and the Pacific Ocean – Moana’s best friend.
