It has also been reported that the “Moana” series will be the first project produced at the Walt Disney World Animation Studios in Vancouver. Disney remains otherwise silent on any further details with this new series, including voice casting, characters (new and returning), and plot line. Although no hard date has been set for the “Moana” series to premiere on Disney+, we can hardly wait until it starts streaming, and hopefully, there are more catchy tunes in the works as well!
