Disney has officially announced the streaming debut for the live-action adaptation of Moana. Viewers will be able to watch the film at home starting on October 21.
The production features Catherine Lagaʻaia in the titular role of Moana, while Dwayne Johnson portrays the demigod Maui. The film showcases Johnson with hair for his character.
Despite the original animated movie holding the record as the most-watched film on Disney+ with over 1.5 billion hours viewed globally, the new adaptation struggled. Following its summer theatrical release, the film earned only $323 million and faced harsh critical reception.
Disney aims to generate significant interest with this digital release, hoping to improve upon the performance of the live-action version after it failed to meet the company's expectations during its initial run in cinemas.
