Moana 2 (also known as Vaiana 2[4] or Oceania 2[5] in some markets) is a 2024 American animated musical adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. The sequel to Moana (2016), the film is directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller (in their feature directorial debuts) and produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino, from a screenplay by Jared Bush and Miller.[1][2][6] The film stars Auliʻi Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, Rachel House, and Alan Tudyk, all reprising their roles from the first film, with Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda, Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Hualālai Chung, Awhimai Fraser, and Gerald Ramsey joining the cast.

Development on a follow-up to Moana originally began as a long-form limited streaming series for Disney+,[7] before it was reworked into a theatrical sequel by February 2024, with Derrick confirmed as both writer and director. The involvement of Hand, Miller, Chen, and Merino was confirmed in May; a month later, Bush was confirmed to be returning as a writer. Miller later replaced Derrick as a co-writer in August. Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa'i, the composers and co-songwriters of the first film, returned to score and write the songs, while Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear replace Lin-Manuel Miranda as additional songwriters.

Moana 2 had its world premiere in Kapolei, Hawaii on November 21, 2024,[8] and is scheduled to be released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in the United States on November 27, 2024.[9][10]

Premise

Three years after the events of the first film, Moana receives an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors and forms her own crew, reuniting with her friend, the demigod Maui. As they journey to the far seas of Oceania to break the god Nalo's curse on the hidden island of Motufetu, which once connected the people of the ocean, they confront old and new foes, including the Kakamora and underworld goddess Matangi.[11]

  • Rachel House as Tala, Tui's late mother and Moana's paternal grandmother, who returns as a manta ray spirit
    • House will reprise her role in the film's Māori-language dubbing.[17]
  • Awhimai Fraser as Matangi, a mysterious threat to Moana and Maui
    • Fraser will reprise her role in the film's Māori-language dubbing.[17]

Production

Development

In December 2020, during a Disney Investor Day meeting, Walt Disney Animation Studios chief creative officer Jennifer Lee announced that a long-form musical comedy series titled Moana: The Series, based on the 2016 film of the same name, was in development at the studio and set for release on Disney+ in 2023.[7][20] By August 2021, it was reported that Osnat Shurer would once again serve as producer.[21] In January 2022, it was announced that David Derrick Jr. would serve as the writer and director, after filling the role of storyboard artist of the first film.[22][23][24] The series entered development simultaneously with the live action remake of Moana according to Jared Bush, a writer of the film and screenplay writer of the 2016 animated film.[25]

In February 2024, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the series had been reworked into a theatrical sequel titled Moana 2, with Derrick and Shurer remaining attached to the project.[26] By the release of the first trailer in May, Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller were confirmed as co-directors alongside Derrick, while Christina Chen and Yvett Merino were revealed to replace Shurer as the film's producers.[1]

Casting

Shortly after the announcement that the series was being repurposed into a theatrical feature film, Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson were confirmed to reprise their respective roles as Moana and Maui.[12][13][15][16] Johnson later confirmed that he had been involved with the project since its conception, including its development, stating: "I can't wait for fans to see the film, the technology, the effects, cutting edge. We all really went for it. We thought if we're gonna make a sequel to something so beloved, let's really go for it."[15] Several more cast members were unveiled at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, including Temuera Morrison and Nicole Scherzinger reprising their roles as Moana's parents from the first film. New additions include Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda as Moana's new sister, and Rose Matafeo, David Fane, and Hualālai Chung as members of Moana's wayfinding crew.[11]

Animation

Animation was handled at Walt Disney Animation Studios' Vancouver studio beginning when it was being developed as a series, while pre-production and storyboarding took place at the Burbank studio.[21] It is the first feature film to be made at the Vancouver studio,[21][27] but not the first project released, with Iwájú being released earlier that year. At the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, it was revealed that veterans Mark Henn and Eric Goldberg would supervise a team of apprentices of hand-drawn animators for Maui's tattoos. Goldberg was a supervising animator for "Mini Maui" for the first film.[11]

Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foaʻi return to compose the film score, while Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear wrote the songs, replacing Lin-Manuel Miranda from the first film.[28][29] Cravalho stated that having Barlow and Bear, two young women, help voice Moana's "story, which is a young woman finding her way, I couldn't think of a better duo than Barlow and Bear. ... This is a new part of my voice. ... This film digs into these low notes in these times of indecision when we don't know what we are supposed to do next. There's a lot of deeper layers to these songs."[28]

On November 7, 2024, Disney revealed full tracklist, along with the first single "Beyond" by Cravalho which has been billed as an spiritual sequel to the original Moana anthem, "How Far I'll Go".[30] On November 11, Johnson revealed his song "Can I Get a Chee Hoo?" as a female empowerment song for Moana's character, which follows the tune of Maui's original "You're Welcome".[31] The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack released on November 22.[30]

Miller and Cravalho discussed their work on the film at D23 2024 in Anaheim, California.

Moana 2 is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 27, 2024.[26][33]

Marketing

The first trailer for the film was released on May 29, 2024, after debuting at CinemaCon the month before.[1][34] The trailer earned over 178 million views in its first 24 hours across all platforms, breaking a new record as the most watched trailer of all time for a Disney animated film, a record previously held by Frozen II and Pixar's Inside Out 2 (the latter of which the trailer was attached to in the theaters).[35] A sneak peek of the film was screened at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 14, 2024.[36]

On August 9, 2024, Cravalho and Johnson appeared at the Disney Entertainment Showcase at the 2024 D23 Expo in Anaheim, California to promote the film and release a new trailer, which was released online shortly thereafter.[37] During the D23 presentation, Cravalho performed a new song from the film, "We're Back," accompanied by Polynesian dancers.[37] Johnson also used the presentation to announce a new live-action Monster Jam film that he would be producing with Disney.[38]

Localization

Like the first movie, Moana 2 is set to be released in European countries[39][40][41] with the title and protagonist's name changed to Vaiana due to a trademark conflict.[42]

Four special dubbings in Polynesian languages are set to be released for the sequel: a Hawaiian,[14] a Māori,[43] a Tahitian, and a Samoan dubbings.[44] The first three languages had previously received a dubbing of the first movie too,[45][46][47] while the Samoan dubbing will receive a dubbing of the sequel without having dubbed the original movie. Cravalho is set to reprise the lead role in the Hawaiian dubbing of the sequel,[14] like she did in the first movie,[47] while several other members of the cast will reprise their roles in the Māori dubbing.[48] The Māori dubbing uses the Tairāwhiti dialect and was directed and produced by Tweedie Waititi.[49]

Of the six movies dubbed into Māori so far,[50][51] Moana 2 will be the first one to premiere in New Zealand simultaneously in English and Māori.[52] This marks the third time in Disney's history a dubbing in an indigenous language is released at the same time as regular dubbings. The first such instance happened with the Tahitian dubbing of Moana, released in 2016 in French Polynesia.[45] The second was the Sámi dubbing of Frozen 2, released in 2019 in Finland, Norway, and Sweden.[53][54]

Reception

According to Deadline Hollywood, Moana 2 is projected to gross over $105–115 million in the United States and Canada over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend, making it the biggest opening for a film released during that period, a record currently held by Frozen (2013).[55]
