In what year was Disney's Moana released?

Disney’s Moana was released in 2016. The animated musical adventure was produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, whose earlier credits include The Little Mermaid and Aladdin.

The film premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on November 14, 2016, before its United States theatrical release on November 23. It follows Moana, the daughter of Motunui’s chief, as she sails across the Pacific to return the heart of Te Fiti and restore life to her island.

Moana was inspired by Polynesian cultures and mythology, although its story and characters are Disney’s fictional creation. A common mix-up is confusing its release year with its home-media debut: the digital version arrived in February 2017, followed by Blu-ray and DVD in March. The film became a major commercial success and received Academy Award nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.
