“Moana 3” (2027) Sets Sail on an Epic Journey to the Heart of the Ocean

Animated Adventure Feature

Disney’s Moana 3 (2027) invites audiences back into the vibrant world of the Pacific for a sweeping new adventure that expands the mythology of the beloved franchise. With the ocean calling once more, the film pushes Moana beyond the shores of Motunui and into a journey that will test not only her courage, but the very destiny she carries as a leader.

Auli‘i Cravalho returns as Moana, now firmly established as the Chief of Motunui. Her responsibilities extend far beyond her own island as a mysterious crisis begins to ripple across the Pacific. The Ocean itself is losing its connection to the islands, ancient magic is fading, and violent storms signal a deep imbalance in nature. What once protected and united the islands now threatens to tear them apart. At the center of the crisis lies the Heart of Te Fiti, the ancient source of life whose energy is slowly draining away. As ocean spirits fall into turmoil, Moana learns that restoring balance will require her most dangerous voyage yet—a journey to the edge of the world and into a hidden realm forgotten by time. It is a path no navigator has taken, and one that may change her forever.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson returns as Maui, bringing his trademark humor and demigod strength to the expedition. Joining them are two compelling new characters: Kaimana, voiced by Zendaya, a fierce water-wielder from a lost island who holds vital knowledge of the Ocean’s ancient secrets; and Kanoa, voiced by Henry Golding, a mysterious explorer whose map may lead to the true heart of the Ocean’s power.

Together, the crew faces treacherous waters, powerful enemies, and a looming dark force determined to control the Ocean’s magic for its own gain. Each challenge pushes Moana closer to understanding the depth of her legacy—not just as a wayfinder, but as a guardian of balance between humanity and nature.

Blending breathtaking visuals, emotional storytelling, and an expanded mythological scope, Moana 3 promises a powerful continuation of Moana’s journey. As the fate of the Pacific hangs in the balance, the question remains: can she reignite the heart of the Ocean before it is lost forever?
