Tala is Moana's grandmother and the mother of Motunui's village leader Tui. Like her granddaughter, she has a love for sea exploration, having come from an ancestry of South Pacific navigators. Unlike the other villagers, Tala has not forgotten her roots (or chose to ignore them, as in Tui's case).
Moana also stars Hawaiian teenager Auli'i Cravalho as the voice of Moana, and includes music from Opetaia Foa'i, founder and lead singer of Kiwi Pasifika band Te Vaka. The film is directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, the masterminds behind Disney classics like The Little Mermaid and Aladdin.
