Produced by Feld Entertainment Inc., this production honours Walt Disney’s legacy by bringing acclaimed stories like Finding Dory and Toy Story to life on the ice.

For the first time ever, Disney’s Moana will come to New Zealand in Disney On Ice, and one performance at each tour stop will present the Moana segment in te reo Māori.

Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy join Mickey in a high-energy opening that is a modern take on the film that started it all, Steamboat Willie. Mickey and pals venture through the various Disney worlds sharing meaningful moments from treasured tales spanning generations to determine what their favourite memory of all time in the ultimate interactive event when Disney On Ice celebrates Mickey and Friends.

“In this new Disney On Ice production, we pay tribute to Walt Disney and the true original icon, Mickey Mouse,” said Executive Vice President of Feld Entertainment and Producer Nicole Feld. “Each section of the show was carefully selected to immerse families in an array of stories that they have grown to know and love. Because of its cultural significance in the Pacific and how beloved the character is here this year, we are particularly delighted to bring the story of Moana to life for New Zealand audiences in te reo Māori for one performance in each city.”

 As Mickey looks back on unforgettable Disney moments, families will be taken on a high-seas adventure with Moana as she displays courage to save her island, journey to the wintry world of Arendelle as royal sisters Anna and Elsa discover true love is the most powerful magic of all, and experience the mysterious magic of Fantasia as a Sorcerer’s Apprentice makes brooms come to life.

“With live hosts and interactive segments throughout the Disney On Ice production, we hope our fans have an amazing experience that leaves them with memories that last a lifetime,” Feld adds.

Disney on Ice Ambassador Stacey Morrison agrees, ”Seeing these beloved characters in real life is magical, I love it as much as my kids! The opportunity for New Zealand audiences to see Moana in te reo Māori makes me so proud that families can enjoy our unique and beautiful language in such an entertaining setting”.
