The Moana Sing-Along version is set to launch in select North American theaters on January 27th, 2017. Starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and breakout star Auli’i Cravalho, the film has already gained box office success and is a hit among families and young kids. A celebration of Polynesian culture, the animated feature is a fantasy-themed story that brings together two unlikely friends.
The newly announced Moana sing-along version makes the film experience a more interactive one for parents with small children and invites movie goers to sing the animated film's musical numbers while enjoying a screening.
This cinema event is one that will appeal to consumers seeking a more diverse and memorable movie theater experience. Additionally, the singalong's crowd participation element will make it an experience worth remembering.
