LEADING LICENSING BUSINESS, Character World had designed bedding featuring Disney’s feisty new heroine, Moana.

The latest animated movie from Disney Animation Studios sees heroine Moana sail off on a daring mission to save her people. After opening in the US, the film has dominated the Thanksgiving box office and looks on course to continue this success when it hit cinemas in the UK on 2nd December.

The Manchester-based global textiles business has launched a Moana single duvet set with matching pillowcase. It is initially available online from Next, followed by other major UK retailers in the New Year.

Tim Kilby, brand director at Character World said:

“Moana keeps with the tradition that made Disney the leader in animated fairy and folk tales, and the overall critic reviews are fantastic. Her action-packed voyage and adventurous nature lend themselves perfectly to striking designs that will be a great addition to youngster’s bedrooms.

The early December release date means licensed Moana products are sure to be a popular present choice this Christmas.”

Moana joins Character World’s extensive Disney license portfolio which includes Disney Princess, Frozen and Finding Dory.

Founded in 1988, Character World works with some of the world’s leading entertainment companies. It supplies retailers across the UK and Europe including Argos, Asda, Next, Tesco and John Lewis.

Palatine Private Equity backed Character World in a secondary management buyout in December 2014.
