Who are the cast of Moana?

The 2016 animated musical fantasy adventure film Moana was made by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. With the writing duo of Aaron and Jordan Kandell and a screenplay by Jared Bush, the film was co-directed by Chris Williams and Don Hall, produced by Osnat Shurer, and directed by John Musker and Ron Clements.

In the movie, the citizens of the Polynesian island of Motunui revere Te Fiti, the goddess of nature. She is a living island that long ago gave the ocean life by using a pounamu stone as her heart and power source. One day, Te Fiti's heart was taken by Maui, the shape-shifting demigod of the sea. As a result, Te Fiti fell apart, and the volcanic monster Te Kā attacked Maui. A thousand years later, Moana, the daughter of Tui, the chief of Motunui, is chosen by the ocean to give Te Fiti back the heart.
