Everything in the gallery below is all fan art from Deviantart. Don't know why Nerdist published a new article with the same image that's been out for months, or why Disney is being so sparse with information, but the hype will pick up again shortly I'm sure.

Here's a bit from the John Lasseter press conference at Cannes:

Moana (Disney) – November 23, 2016

Disney’s first Polynesian princess movie is a musical in the tradition of “The Little Mermaid” or “Pocahontas.” It opens with a song number with Moana’s birth that brings to mind “The Circle of Life” from “The Lion King.” The story is set 2,000 in the past, where 16-year-old Moana wants to set sail to explore nearby islands. After her grandmother’s death, she sneaks away in a boat (despite her father’s instructions not to do so), along with sidekicks in the form of a pig (Pua) and a rooster (Hei). When she gets stranded on an island, she meets mythical hero Maui (Dwayne Johnson), who wears tattoos that come to life and owns a magical sea hook.

...along with sidekicks in the form of a pig (Pua)...

Farting sidekick confirmed!!! Oh Disney, you never let me down...
