Re: Musker & Clements' Moana
That's obviously a bunch of bullshit, lol. Don't believe everything on the internet. The obsession with "princess" films will produce tons of fake rumors and there won't be any legitimate news for awhile so calm down.
The casts of Frozen and Big Hero 6 weren't exactly household names anyway.

Re: Musker & Clements' Moana
Yeah, I don't see it happening. Selena is Hispanic, while Moana is Polynesian. That kinda ethnic disparity, I would hope anyway, is something that Disney doesn't really partake in anymore. Not that Hispanics can't be voice actors anymore. Rather, they'd be looking for a Polynesian actress to better reflect the character of Moana. Or maybe I've been spoiled by the appropriate casting of Big Hero 6, I dunno.

Ugh. This again?disneyprincess11 wrote: According to Disney, Princess and the Frog bombed because of no big stars as the leads (Oprah and Terrence had like what? 3 lines).

I thought it was made pretty obvious that, despite it not being a runaway hit (like Frozen per say), TPatF was a moderate hit?

That is not production artwork for Moana. It's personal work by Brittney Lee titled "Hawaiian Gods and Goddesses".disneyprincess11 wrote:Our first concept art of Maui, painted by Frozen visual development artist Brittney Lee

I thought it was a satire, but OMG it might be true! I don't mind if he's in it (I like him), but that's so bizarre and hilarious!

He is part Samoan which would be why he would be interested in playing the role of Maui.disneyprincess11 wrote:jazzflower92 wrote:http://www.fbc.com.fj/fiji/24143/ingles ... -to-disney

If so it's not the first time The Rock has voiced a CGI character:

Re: Musker & Clements' Moana
Honestly, what man would turn down the opportunity to voice the male lead in WDAS next Princess Musical after the success of Tangled/Frozen? If he's not the voice of Maui it's because the producers says so. I don't see him turning this down.jazzflower92 wrote:At least this time he will be in a high quality movie.DisneyEra wrote:If so it's not the first time The Rock has voiced a CGI character:

Even though Maui is not a love interest, he will still be the male eye candy that has become a recurring element of this era. A hot shirtless demi-god will make the fan girls' heads burst.

Re: Musker & Clements' Moana
imdb has been wrong on who was cast to voice characters. I mean before the Princess and the Frog came out it had Angela Basset as the voice of Eudora. So, don't believe it until something is fully revealed.disneyprincess11 wrote:Well, looks like we could have our Moana: Disney Channel and pop star (UghSeriously, Disney? )'s Naomi Sequeira

Re: Musker & Clements' Moana
Speaking of the movie, it's noteworthy that the previous article about the composer mentioned that Musker/Clements directed that movie, along with "Mermaid" and "Aladdin". I thought Disney were ashamed of that movie!jazzflower92 wrote:imdb has been wrong on who was cast to voice characters.

Re: Musker & Clements' Moana
Remember how late they announced the cast for Big Hero 6?
Why in God's name would any of this be legit?

And also Gary Oldman as Bowler Hat Guy in Meet the Robinsons. (That actually would have been kind of cool.)jazzflower92 wrote:imdb has been wrong on who was cast to voice characters.

Re: Musker & Clements' Moana
To be fair, Angela Basset was initially cast and later replaced by Oprah, most likely to sooth the controversy regarding the chamber maid reactions.jazzflower92 wrote:imdb has been wrong on who was cast to voice characters.
