Posting on his Instagram, he said, “As you know Hawaii means so much to my family and me. And the traditions of our Ohana or “aiga” as we say in Samoa were shaped by these incredible islands. The Pacific islands and their culture inspired a very special story, one that you all know very well.”

He further described how the character of Maui was based on one of his most personal relationships, “we found so much inspiration for Maui in the mana and the presence of my late grand father, the legendary High Chief, Peter Maivia. He would walk in, light up the room, the energy, the tattoos, the hair, the bod.”

The Brahma Bull of WWE would conclude the video by claiming that the work is still early in progress, and there is still enough work to be done on it. Fans are now excited to see what Dwayne Johnson brings in life and form, what was one of the most beautiful animated films of all time.
