Moana 2 (2024)



Walt Disney Animation Studios’ epic animated musical “Moana 2” takes audiences on an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced. Directed by Dave Derrick Jr. with music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina, “Moana 2” opens in theaters on Nov. 27, 2024.
Back in 2020, a Disney+ series was announced... they've retooled that to be a sequel film.

I just saw elsewhere this was originally a series that's being made into a movie.

Let's hope for Toy Story 2 and not, well, pretty much another Disney sequel.

Mo' Moana.

As opposed to Frozen 2 : Mo' Anna.

Johnson is in talks to voice Maui again.

Auli’i Cravalho is also in talks to voice Moana again, but no deal is close.

So this premieres in about 9 months. I guess a lot of the animation is ready, but they just need to sign voice talent.

Re: Moana 2 (2024)

Is it true this was originally developed as a TV series and later repurposed as a movie sequel?

The Moana soundtrack is a top 5 Disney soundtrack. It's too bad Lin Manuel Miranda is not coming back for the sequel.

I would hope that there's a more Polynesian soundtrack this time around.

I thought Lin-Manuel would continue to jump at every opportunity to write a movie song in his continued quest for the elusive EGOT.

Re: Moana 2 (2024)

For something that started out as a repurposed TV series, it looks surprisingly good.

Moana 2 popcorn buckets, cups


Some of you will probably roll your eyes thinking it's unpractical and expensive trash you don't need.

Disney is usually pretty okay at that given how Toy Story 2 turned out

Re: Moana 2 (2024)

I’m seeing this Friday. It’s been awhile, but I recall the first movie having a lot of charm.

DJ mentioned recently he wrapped his scenes on the live action version.

I may check out the movie, but the charm of the original movie (and Encanto) was obviously the LMM songs.

Re: Moana 2 (2024)

Seems more like it than don't like it amongst regular critics, but the YouTube critics aren't being so kind. It appears this just another pointless IP cash grab.
