It would only make sense that Disney would want to utilize the talents that produced these great films again, and so, it was little surprise that even before Moana hit theaters, Lin-Manuel Miranda, who co-wrote the film’s songs, revealed there were already plans for himself and Zootopia co-director Byron Howard to work together on something new.
2016 was one of the greatest years in the history of Walt Disney Animation Studios.
One was the incredibly popular, surprisingly mature, eventual Oscar winner Zootopia, and the other was the gorgeously animated and beautiful sounding Moana.
