About Disney’s “Moana”: From Walt Disney Animations Studios comes Moana, a sweeping film about an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana meets the mighty demigod Maui, who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity. Rated PG.

About Disney’s “Mulan” (1998): Clever Mulan proves her worth outside of her tradition-bound society when, disguised as male soldier “Ping,” she bravely takes her father’s place in China’s Imperial Army. Helped by her outrageoulsy funny guardian dragon Mushu and a lucky cricket named Cri-Kee, Mulan strives to earn the respect of her fellow warriors and their courageous Captain Shang. Mulan’s adventures lead to a climactic battle atop the Imperial Palace, where her family’s honor and the fater of the Emperor and all of China rests in her hands. Rated G.
