Disney's live-action *Moana *has released its official trailer, featuring Catherine Laga'aia as Moana, Dwayne Johnson as Maui, and a truly upsetting *Pretty Woman*-style wig as Maui's hair.

Remaking Disney's 2016 animation of the same name, the film follows Moana as she and demigod Maui journey to save her island home of Motunui. *Moana* will feature songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foa'i, and Mark Mancina, and is directed by Miranda's longtime collaborator Thomas Kail, his second feature after the *Hamilton* proshot.

Unfortunately, *Moana*'s trailer has left many viewers dissatisfied, taking to social media to criticise the acting, aesthetics, and particularly confronting coiffures on display in this early look at the film. Disney has released a slew of live-action (and CGI) remakes of its popular animated films, often to mixed reception. Judging from the reactions to this trailer, many already expect the live-action *Moana* to land on the lower end of that spectrum.

*Moana* arrives in theatres July 10.
