A movie like Moana does n’t come together without a few things polish off the cutting off room story . But even when that occur , it ’s rare that fans ever get to see it .
That ’s why something like this is so special . Below is a jolting animatic of “ Warrior expression , ” a Song dynasty co - written by Lin - Manuel Miranda and performed in this embodiment by two of his original Hamilton carbon monoxide - headliner , Christopher Jackson and Phillipa Soo . ( If it made the movie , Dwayne Johnson and Auli’i Cravalho would have let the cat out of the bag it . ) The birdsong is about Maui pay off Moana pumped to go into battle to find his bait , so it would have do before “ glistening . ” Check it out , courtesy ofEntertainment Weekly .
It ’s a catchy little song and , if the voices sound familiar , that ’s because Jackson ended up doing the tattle vox of Moana ’s father .
You understand why the birdcall got skip , though . Maui and Moana kind of already have this mentor / mentee thing going by that pointedness and an extra song to get her pump up to go on such a grave adventure almost undercuts her strength . Without it , her fearfulness is more believable as is her triumph . It ’s all about her , instead of the credit going to Maui .
This snip ( and many , more you ’d imagine ) , will be available when Moana come to digital HD on February 21 and Blu - ray March 7 .
