Moana concludes Summer Movie Series Rodman Public Library's Summer Movie Series concludes on Monday, August 1, when Moana is shown on the big screen in the Children's Program Room at 5:30 p.m. The 2016 American computer-animated musical adventure film released by Walt Disney Pictures tells the story of a strong-willed daughter of a chief of a Polynesian village who is chosen by the ocean itself to reunite a mystical relic with a goddess. When a blight strikes her island, the girl sets sail in search of a legendary demigod, in the hope of returning the relic and saving her people. It is 1 hour and 43 minutes long and is rated PG. The movie is free and the library will provide popcorn to those attending. No registration is required to attend any of the films, but children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult caregiver.
