Turning their attention to the Disney Treasure, Disney has shared a first look at Disney The Tale of Moana, which will debut aboard the vessel in December.

In newly released concept art, Disney previewed the epic moment when Moana and Maui battle Te Kā. In the show, the goddess will be depicted by an incredible fifteen-foot-tall puppet.
Later in the show, when Moana restores the heart of Te Fiti, Te Kā will return to her true form.
The puppets used in Disney The Tale of Moana are being developed by Jeff Conover and Michael Curry.
