It's a dazzling and diverse feast for the eyes and ears, from the South Pacific home of 'Moana"' and a Middle-Eastern interpretation of 'Aladdin' to 'The Jungle Book' in India, China's legend of 'Mulan,' the European nations that inspired 'Brave' and 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame,' and so much more."
