We've had a little bit of footage courtesy of Comic-Con, and the poster arrived just the other day – now Moana has earned itself its first full trailer.

The 56th feature from Walt Disney Animation Studios stars Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as the demigod Maui (with The People's Eyebrow very much on show) and newcomer Auli'i Cravalho as the titular Moana. Together, they embark on a magical journey together to find a mythical island in ancient Oceania.

Also, Alan Tudyk voices a chicken named Hei Hei. And by the looks of the trailer, will be clucking his way towards stealing the show.

There's all sorts of talent behind the metaphorical camera, too, with an initial script from Taika Waititi, direction from The Little Mermaid's Ron Clements and John Musker, and songs from Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Looking very much like another confident Disney effort after an impressive unbroken run of hits, Moana sails into US cinemas on 23 November, ahead of a 2 December UK release.
