Disney Moana movie billboards...

This Thanksgiving a new heroine joins the ranks of Disney's princesses, mermaids and warriors, it's time to get to know 'Moana'.

In the new animated adventure, the Pacific Islander from 2,000 years ago must use her navigational skills to set sail for a fabled island to help save her people.

Joining Moana (voiced by newcomer and Native Hawaiian Auli'i Cravalho) on her quest is the shape-shifting demigod 'Maui' (voiced by Dwayne Johnson).

Not only does this new animated tale help bring Polynesian culture to mainstream audiences, but it also features original songs in the grand Disney tradition co-written by Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The film also reunites the talents of Disney legends Ron Clements and John Musker, responsible for bringing the likes of Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and The Princess and the Frog to the big screen.

This 'Maui' special extension cut-out billboard was first spied along La Cienega Boulevard on October 19, then these other fun ad creatives popped up over L.A. like a tidal wave, along Santa Monica Boulevard, Cahuenga Boulevard and Westwood Boulevard through November 8, 2016.

Meanwhile the giant-sized version was photographed towering over the Sunset Strip on November 14, 2016.
