Disney has unveiled the Japanese trailer for its upcoming animated movie Moana. The new clip introduces baby Moana for the first time and has a very different tone to the teaser released for American audiences last month.
The contemplative clip shows the cute new character meeting a life-like ocean, which was hinted by the film's director, Ron Clements, to play a big role in the movie. "There is one other very important character we want to mention in this movie, the Pacific Ocean," Clements said.
Apparently, when they visited the South Pacific for research, they saw that the people there spoke of the ocean like "a person or a friend." This is something they tried to implement in the film, as demonstrated in the clip above.
Moana tells the tale of a once-mighty demigod (Dwayne Johnson) and a spirited teenager (Auli'i Cravalho) who embark on an epic adventure across the ocean. It's set for release on November 23.
If you missed it first time around, you can see the more upbeat US trailer below.
Meanwhile, LEGO just brought these famous Disney icons to life with a new 4,000-piece castle set.
