How far will you go for the first full trailer for Disney's upcoming live-action remake of Moana? Don't worry—you don't have to go far. The film's official trailer dropped earlier today, and you can watch it above.

Disney is giving the live-action treatment to its 2016 animated film of the same name, which featured Auli'i Cravalho voicing the title role and singing songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Hamilton director Thomas Kail is at the helm of the new version, which features a screenplay by Jared Bush.

Along with Catherine Laga'aia in the title role, the film will feature Dwayne Johnson reprising his animated performance as Maui, John Tui as Chief Tui, Frankie Adams as Sina, and Rena Owen as Gramma Tala.

The film will release in movie theatres July 10.
