Walt Disney Animation Studios has announced that the company will be releasing its 56th animated feature titled 'Moana' in 2016. Ron Clements and John Musker, who helmed other Disney classics such as 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Aladdin,' are directing the film.

According to a press release (via Stitch Kingdom), 'Moana' is being described as "a sweeping, CG-animated comedy-adventure about a spirited teenager on an impossible mission to fulfill her ancestors’ quest. A born navigator, Moana sets sail from the ancient South Pacific islands of Oceania in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore."

The studio also released some early concept art pictured above.
