Gramma Tala shares her granddaughter’s special connection to the ocean. she’s voiced by Rachel House (“Whale Rider,” “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”). Gramma Tala is Moana’s confidante and best friend. The conceited crustacean wants to be more than a “bottom feeder” and overcompensates for this perceived shortcoming by covering himself in all things shiny. Tamatoa, a self-absorbed, 50-foot crab who lives in Lalotai, the realm of monsters, is voiced by Emaine Clement (“The BFG,” “Despicable Me,” “Rio,” “Rio 2,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” Flight of the Conchords). The newly revealed characters and voice talent join the already announced duo that includes newcomer Auli‘i Cravalho, who lends her voice to the title character, Moana, a teenager who dreams of becoming a master wayfinder, and Dwayne Johnson (HBO’s “Ballers,” “Central Intelligence”), who voices Maui-half god, half mortal, all awesome. We’d like to mention the animators in charge of each character too, unfortunately Disney doesn’t provide that information this early in the marketing process for its movies. And yet, it is often the voice actors who get the accolades. From story artists to directors, from animators to voice actors and everyone in between, it is a group effort. “We are so fortunate to have this group of talented actors, many from Oceania, breathing life into their characters.”Īdded Clements, “We are so thankful to have found such extraordinary people who not only capture the voices of these characters, they elevate them in every way.”Īnimation is a very collaborative art. “Our assembled voice cast for this film is beyond our wildest dreams,” said Musker. Directors Ron Clements and John Musker return to create a story that showcases the life-changing journey of a tenacious 16-year-old who teams up with the mighty demigod Maui to fulfill an ancient quest. We’re very excited to have our first look at the complete list of main characters in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ next project Moana.
