Like Many Disney Live Action Adaptions, There Will Be Changes

Whenever Disney adapts one of their animated films to live-action, some changes are always made by adding more to the story or changing one of the side characters, like Awkwafina’s version of Scuttle in 2023’s The Little Mermaid. The live-action version of Moana showcasing Samoan heritage will probably be shown more at the beginning of the film when Moana is with her family on the island. The beginning of the original movie showcased Moana’s values and how important her family is to her.

The beginning was the most grounded part of the movie before Moana went on her adventure and met Maui (a demigod) and Tamtoa (a giant crab). It was also the movie’s most relatable part, where Moana wanted to find her place in the world. It also featured the emotional death of Moana’s grandmother, who would continue to be an important figure to her throughout the movie.

Our Take Cravalho Being Happy With Laga’aia’s Casting

It’s Always Nice To See One Actor Pass The Torch To Another

Whenever a new actor has to step into a role established by someone else, it’s always nice to see the previous star be supportive. Although Johnson will return as Maui, the remakes of classic Disney animated films typically go with an entirely brand-new cast. A rare exception was James Earl Jones for 2019’s The Lion King, but it was still a voice role. While Moana will be played by a new actor, Cravalho could still appear in a different role. For example, Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the animated The Little Mermaid, made a cameo appearance in the 2023 version.

It’s also refreshing to see that Moana’s story in the live-action film won’t be the same as the animated one. While it will still be exciting to see those classic animated moments in live action, it will also be exciting to see what new story details will be added to the new version of Moana.
