Moana 2
Parents need to know that Moana 2 is the sequel to Disney's popular Polynesian-themed 2016 musical. This period around, when Moana (again voiced by Auli'i Cravalho) receives an important mission from her ancestors, she journeys with a small crew (and Dwayne Johnson's Maui, of course!) to find a missing island that will unite all the peoples of Oceania. Like the original, the sequel has several scary moments, mostly courtesy of violent storms (huge lightning bolts, powerful downspouts, large waves, etc.), a killer giant clam monster that swallows boats whole, and other environmental and god-created catastrophes. Characters are frequently in peril, and a couple of times get knocked unconscious and even look dead (spoiler alert: they're not). Language is infrequent but includes a couple of uses of words like "sucking," "hate," and "butt." There's no romance; instead, the story focuses on collective, leadership, friendship, and teamwork. And there are plenty of laughs (including sight gags involving an elder's bottom and Maui's moving tattoos) and positive messages. Moana is a strong role model, demonstrating perseverance and courage; she's also a loving older sister,
Disney’s ‘queer’ Moana 2 star shares how she fights antisemitism, fascism, and misogyny
“I didn’t see a lot of shows in Hawaii. My first show was Cats,” the Disney star said on Monday, adding that “it was always a dream of mine to engage pretend for a living, and Cabaret is such an incredible show.”
The Moana star then responded to discussion that The View co-hosts had shared in a previous segment regarding the results of the 2024 election and why people voted for President-elect Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I recognize that as a country, it’s very difficult for people to believe that racism and misogyny are alive and well,” co-host Sunny Hostin said earlier in the illustrate before Cravalho’s interview. “I think that we don’t long to think that about ourselves, our neighbors, our friends, but it’s my lived experience that tells me that it does still exist.”
“If you ponder the vast majority of this land voted because of racism and misogyny, you’re missing it,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin argued with Hostin.
“I heard your segment before this,” the Moana actress
Moana 2 is a wholesome and enjoyable sequel, but despite retreading many of the same narrative beats as the imaginative, it’s never able to recapture the same magic.
About the Film
In recent years, family audiences have developed a complicated relationship with Disney. The failures of the once-invulnerable studio contain received plenty of attention (and not undeservingly so), but there have also been some undeniable hits along the way. Frozen may be the most popular, but (in the humble opinion of this reviewer) the best “modern Disney” flick is 2016’s Moana. With endearing characters, a fantastic collection of songs, and an entertaining adventure story, the production was a total delight. That film was about journeying into uncharted seas, but sometimes—particularly when you’re a floundering movie studio—it’s more prudent to send back to familiar shores. Moana 2 is a wholesome and enjoyable sequel, but despite retreading many of the same narrative beats as the original, it’s never able to recapture the same magic.
The sequel has navigated a circuitous route to reach the big screen. A pursue up to Moana was first conceived in 2020 as a multi-episode streaming series

Moana 2
Eight years after the original, Disney is bringing back Auli’i Cravalho to reprise the title role and Dwayne Johnson as her mentor, Maui. In this sequel, Moana gets a call from her ancestors, which sends her on an adventure across Oceania.
Duralde: “The first movie is about young Moana off on a quest to save her people. And this time, a slightly older Moana is off on another quest to fulfill the ancestors’ desire, to find an island that would bring all of the ocean people together. Of course, a vengeful sea god does not want that to happen. So complications ensue.
Like the first movie, this is gorgeous to look at, the tropical splendor of the sea and the foliage and the fabrics of the Pacific Islands is very much on exhibit. But it's a little bit of a retread. I consider with Inside Out 2 earlier this year, Disney gave us a sequel that felt favor they were expanding the society and going to new places, and this one
