Following in the achievement of Tahitian and Maori dubbing of the Disney feature, Moana, a Hawaiian version has been released this Summer of 2018! ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi is the 46th language version of Moana, and will be used as an educational tool to promote the Hawaiian language. In this ʻŌiwiTV news piece, we hear from the actors and Hawaiian language experts who worked on the dubbing process about their translation, transmission, and presentation of Moana ma ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, and what this accomplishment means for Hawaiian language awareness and normalization.

Aloha,,, mahalo for the video about the moana hawaiian language version.. I am deeply interested in this being offered to the public on dvd.. I understand, right now, it is being given to the immersion schools for children only.. but for the rest of us, no longer in school , personally, I would love to have the olelo version in my collection. I am a hawaiian at heart who truly loves the islands and its culture.. If you can do anything to help convince the powers that be to distribute this for sale to the public, it would be greatly appreciated !

I am learning the Hawaiian language along with my granddaughters as they attend Ke Kula o ‘Ehunuikaimalino. I am still a haumana but the granddaughters are fluent in the Hawaiian language. I would dearly love to be able to purchase copies of the Moana Olelo version. Please consider making it available to the public. what a great way to perpetuate the beautiful language of our islands.
