“We did it for you, the islands of the Pacific,” says Moana Director

Ron Celements and John Musker, producer Osnat Shurer and Auli’i Cravalho who provides the vocal talent for the character of Moana are in Samoa for a special screening of the movie.

“We did this for you,” Clements told a packed out Apollo Cinema in Apia last night.

“Most of the movie was based around Samoa and then we tried our best to touch every part of the Pacific with it. Every dance, word and culture,” he said.

“It was a tough job. We had to be here five years ago just to learn the culture and the Pacific as a whole. We hope it represented that fine,” he added.
