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 herself is voiced by Auli'i Cravalho, and she will be joined on the project by Dwayne Johnson. Johnson voices Maui, who uses his Demigod abilities to help Moana on her journey. At San Diego Comic-Con, Disney Animation revealed the rest of the delightful cast, which includes names like Jemaine Clement, Rachel House, Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, and Alan Tudyk.
