Last week, Lin-Manuel Miranda took over Dsney's Instagram as part of the promotion for their new film, Moana. Being an admitted nerd of all things Disney, Miranda took the opportunity to duet on some Disney classics with friends throughout the day. One of the day's participants, The Rock, took to Instagram today to share a behind the scenes look at the twosome's cover of "Gaston" from Beauty and the Beast.

Miranda's original music will be featured in the upcoming animated film due in theatres, November 23rd, 2016. The actor left his Broadway musical HAMILTON earlier this month to pursue new projects, including a remake of the Disney classic MARY POPPINS opposite Emily Blunt.

About the movie: Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast South Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped - and no one today knows why. From Walt DisneyAnimation Studios comes "Moana," a sweeping, CG-animated adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors' unfinished quest.

During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli'i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker ("The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," "The Princess & the Frog"), Moana is produced by Osnat Shurer ("Lifted," "One Man Band").
