Walt Disney Animation Studios has revealed the character roster - and the cast behind it - in its upcoming film Moana.
The expanded cast join Auli‘i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson in the flick, which centers on teenage Moana (Cravalho) and her dream of becoming a master wayfinder. Johnson plays Maui, a character described by Disney as "half god, half mortal, all awesome". Check them out in the slideshow below.
The extended character descriptions and voice talent are as follows:
Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) plays Tamatoa, described as "a self-absorbed 50-foot crab who lives in Lalotai, the realm of monsters. The conceited crustacean wants to be more than a “bottom feeder” and overcompensates for this perceived shortcoming by covering himself in all things shiny."
Rachel House (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) plays Gramma Tala, described as "Moana’s confidante and best friend, who shares her granddaughter’s special connection to the ocean. Although her son Tui, the chief of Motunui, is a no-nonsense leader, Gramma Tala most definitely dances to the beat of her own drum."
Temuera Morrison (Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones) is Moana’s father Chief Tui, "the gregarious and well-respected leader of the people of Motunui Island. Chief Tui wants Moana to follow in his footsteps as leader of their people, but fears his daughter’s draw to the ocean and the world that lies beyond their reef."
Nicole Scherzinger is Moana's mother Sina - "playful, sharp and strong-willed, Sina appreciates Moana’s longing to be on the water, but also wants to protect her daughter from the fabled dangers beyond the reef."
Alan Tudyk is Heihei, a rooster and "the village idiot".
Moana, directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, opens in theaters November 23.
