Last night, filmmakers, voice talent and special guests sailed down the blue carpet for the World Premiere of Walt Disney Animation Studios' MOANA. The movie introduces adventurous teenager Moana, whose connection to the ocean ignites a journey of a lifetime. The world premiere was part of THE LINEUP for AFI FEST 2016 presented by Audi. Check out photos from the event below!

Disney's MOANA, featuring music by Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa'i, sails into theaters on November 23, 2016.

From Walt Disney Animation Studios, MOANA is a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who is inspired to leave the safety and security of her island on a daring journey to save her people. Inexplicably drawn to the ocean, Moana (voice of Auli?i Cravalho) convinces the mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson) to join her mission, and he reluctantly helps her become a wayfinder like her ancestors who sailed before her. Together, they voyage across the open ocean on an action-packed adventure, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills her quest and discovers the one thing she's always sought: her own identity.

Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker ("The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," "The Princess & the Frog"), the film is produced by Osnat Shurer ("Lifted," "One Man Band").
