Clements and his directing partner John Musker have made Disney musicals across four decades. Ariel keeps swimming to the surface against her father's orders in The Little Mermaid. In Moana, the daughter of a chief from a long line of navigators sets out to sea when her island's fish and crops fail. Early in each film the hero sings what they want, and the rest of the story goes after it.
