As we head into the big Christmas weekend, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ MOANA is still wowing audiences, and here at Rock Father HQ, two things are happening: The girls keep getting more MOANA toys, and the soundtrack is in regular rotation. Indeed, the music is excellent, and today we have an official video for “Shiny,” as performed by Jemaine Clement (FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, The BFG) as Tamatoa, alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as Maui. Check it out, alongside the rest of the soundtrack in the player below…
About the Film: Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one knows exactly why. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli‘i Cravalho) meets the mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess & the Frog”), produced by Osnat Shurer (“Lifted,” “One Man Band”), and featuring music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa‘i, “Moana” is in theaters now.
