An iconic feature of Disney Channel from the early 2000s has returned with a modern twist.
What’s Happening:
- Disney Movie Surfers, a mini-series taking Disney Channel viewers behind the scenes of Disney’s newest movies, has returned.
- Originally debuting in 1998, the Movie Surfers continued on through to the 2010s, taking a break over recent years.
- Now the series is back, this time on YouTube, with new hosts to take us behind the scenes of Disney’s latest animated feature, Moana 2.
- In the first episode, new hosts Ryan and Daniel Omoto take us on an exclusive, behind-the-scenes adventure to Hawaii for the premiere of Moana 2.
- In addition to talking with the stars of the film, Auliʻi Cravalho (voice of Moana) and Dwayne Johnson (voice of Maui), the Surfers also, quite appropriately, catch some waves with pro-surfer Moana Jones Wong.
- The Surfers also preview new music from the movie with Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, the composers behind the soundtrack.
