Disney steals the Moana concept from the World's Worst AAR. I wonder if she will have big breastesses quote:
(CNN) -- Get ready for another addition to the line of Disney heroines: Moana, an ocean adventurer. "Moana," a film about a teenage girl in "ancient Oceania," according to the plot description, is scheduled to make its debut in late 2016. Moana, who is described as a "born navigator," sets out on a voyage to seek a mysterious island. Her primary companion is Maui, a demigod, and together they "traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore." Ron Clements and John Musker ("The Little Mermaid," "The Princess and the Frog") are directing. Disney has always been a place for princesses -- a tendency that's earned them some criticism over the years -- but it's hard to argue with the box office. Last year's "Frozen" is the highest-grossing animated film of all time, and other Disney classics -- including "Beauty and the Beast," "The Little Mermaid" and "Cinderella" -- have been cash cows for the studio, influencing both popular culture and the bottom line. (More "Frozen" is coming, too.) "Moana" promises more of the modern version: beautiful, clever and adventurous, said Musker in a statement, according to the Los Angeles Times. "Moana is indomitable, passionate and a dreamer with a unique connection to the ocean itself," he said. "She's the kind of character we all root for, and we can't wait to introduce her to audiences."
