Likely building off the hype from hit musical Hamilton’s creator’s big night at the Tony Awards last night, Disney has released a new teaser trailer for its upcoming animated film, Moana. The movie, which told the story of a rabbit police officer and fox criminal who must combine forces, was well-received by critics and is now the fourth-highest-grossing film of the year domestically.
We also see a couple of other characters in the trailer – a moving tattoo on Maui’s chest and Moana’s pet pig, named Pua.
The movie features music written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foa’i and Mark Mancina.
The film hits USA theaters on Thanksgiving weekend – November 24, 2016 – and among other things features original music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of Hamilton, who just cleaned up at the Tony Awards.
