Hawaii holds a special appeal for Americans, so it was brilliant for Walt Disney Studios to feature an animated film about the islands last year. Now, it’s time for a triumphant entrance to home video, as “Moana” comes to Blu-ray.
A spirited teenage girl sets sail on a daring adventure to save her people. The movie looks awesome the second time around, and fans can even buy it on Blu-ray 3D.
Extensive bonus offerings include a hilarious new mini-movie starring Moana and Maui, and in-depth look how the people and heritage of the Pacific islands shaped the story, four mini-documentaries and much more.
