The horizon isn’t the end—it’s the next calling for a wayfinder’s heart
Disney’s Moana 3, set for release in late 2025, brings back the beloved wayfinder for another breathtaking journey across the Pacific. With the first two films celebrated for their heart, culture, and environmental themes, this new installment aims to deepen Moana’s legacy as both explorer and guardian of her people.
In this chapter, Moana (voiced once again by Auliʻi Cravalho) faces a world in change. After reconnecting her people with the ocean and establishing new trade routes, she must now tackle the consequences of her leadership—balancing tradition with innovation. When a mysterious ecological threat emerges from the deep, Moana and Maui (voiced by Dwayne Johnson) set sail beyond the map’s boundaries once more, joined by familiar faces and new allies from distant island cultures.
The story explores deeper cultural roots, introducing legends and ancestral connections previously unseen. Moana’s sea sense expands, allowing her to communicate with ocean life in unexpected ways. Maui's character also evolves, revealing vulnerabilities beneath his heroic façade and forging a new bond with Moana based on mutual respect and shared purpose.
Visually, Moana 3 promises to push boundaries even further. Expect luminous underwater environments, towering storm waves, and glowing reef sequences. The music team reunites, promising a soundtrack that blends traditional Polynesian rhythms with electronic and orchestral swells—creating emotional peaks tied to discovery, loss, and hope.
