Moana 2 (also known as Vaiana 2[5] or Oceania 2[6] in some markets) is a 2024 American animated musical adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. It is the sequel to Moana (2016) and the second installment in the Moana franchise. The film was 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][7] 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 Hualālai Chung, Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Awhimai Fraser, Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda, and Gerald Ramsey joining the cast.

Development on a follow-up to Moana originally began as a long-form limited streaming series for Disney+,[8] 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 premiered at the Lanikuhonua Cultural Institute in Kapolei, Hawaii on November 21, 2024, and was released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in the United States on November 27. The film received mixed reviews from critics and has grossed $109.6 million worldwide.

Plot

Three years after the first film, Moana spends her days exploring new islands in hopes to find other people who are connected to the ocean. One day, she gets a vision from her ancestor, Tautai Vasa, who tells her that the reason why no one is connected to the ocean anymore is because the malicious storm god Nalo wanted power over the mortals, so he sunk a mystical island called Motufetu, which connected all islands, down to the depths of the ocean, and that her island will be deserted if Moana does not find a way to raise the island. She brings a crew of people from Motunui—craftswoman Loto, Maui fanboy Moni, and grumpy elderly farmer Keke, alongside her pet pig and rooster, Pua and Heihei—to find the island.

Meanwhile, the demigod Maui is seeking Motufetu himself since he had a previous quarrel with Nalo, but he is captured by Nalo's enforcer, Matangi. He is reluctant to contact Moana for help due to fearing for her life. Moana and her crew are captured by the Kakamora, a tribe of savage coconut-like pirates Moana had previously encountered, who reveal that Nalo's actions against Motufetu caused them to be disconnected from their home island. One of them, Kotu, helps the crew paralyze a giant monster clam that takes them to Matangi's lair. While the crew find Maui, Moana meets Matangi but learns that she is not happy serving Nalo. Encouraging Moana to find a different way to escape, she helps Moana escape and reunite with Maui and her friends, before sending them to where Nalo is.

Maui soon reveals that Nalo's realm is deadlier compared to the mortal realm and that fighting him will be a suicide mission. Suddenly, the group is ambushed and end up washed ashore on an isolated island, Moana begins to despair, but Maui encourages her to keep trying. With Moana revitalized, the group plans to have Maui raise the island with Moana touching it, as that is the only way to restore Motufetu and stop Nalo. With the raft repaired, the crew ride off to face Nalo. As the group arrives, Nalo begins to attack; Moana, realizing that Nalo is trying to stop the humans from breaking the curse, has Maui lift the island enough for a human to touch it. However, Nalo manages to strip Maui of his Godhood, forcing a desperate Moana to touch the island under sea; while she manages to, Nalo's storm kills her. Maui jumps in, and with the help of Moana's ancestors, they revive her as a demigod, with Moana gaining a wayfinder's tattoo and Maui, having regained his powers as a demigod, managing to raise Motufetu, reconnecting the ocean with the mortals.

Moana returns home and a celebration is held in her honor. In a mid-credits scene, Nalo is about to punish Matangi for helping Moana with him planning revenge. They are soon visited by Tamatoa, who wants to join their cause to get revenge on Moana for her actions against him in the first film.[9]

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.[8][18] By August 2021, it was reported that Osnat Shurer would once again serve as producer.[19] 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.[20][21][22] 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.[23]

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.[24] 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.[10][11][13][14] 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."[13] 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.[9]

Animation

Animation was handled at Walt Disney Animation Studios' Vancouver studio when it was being developed as a series, while pre-production and storyboarding took place at the Burbank studio.[19] It is the first feature film to be made at the Vancouver studio,[19][25] 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.[9]

On November 7, 2024, Disney revealed a full tracklist, along with the first single "Beyond" by Cravalho which was billed as a spiritual sequel to the original Moana anthem, "How Far I'll Go".[28] 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".[29] The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack released on November 22.[28]

Release

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

Moana 2 had its world premiere at the Lanikuhonua Cultural Institute in Kapolei, Hawaii on November 21, 2024,[31] and was released in theaters in the United States on November 27, 2024.[24][32]

Marketing

The first trailer for the film was released on May 29, 2024, after debuting at CinemaCon the month before.[1][33] 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).[34] A sneak peek of the film was screened at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 14, 2024.[35]

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.[36] During the D23 presentation, Cravalho performed a new song from the film, "We're Back," accompanied by Polynesian dancers.[36] Johnson also used the presentation to announce a new live-action Monster Jam film that he would be producing with Disney.[37]

Localization

Like the first movie, Moana 2 was released in European countries[38][39][40] with the title and protagonist's name changed to Vaiana due to a trademark conflict.[41]

Four special dubbings in Polynesian languages were released for the sequel, in Hawaiian,[12] Māori,[42] Tahitian, and Samoan.[43] The first three languages had previously received a dubbing of the first movie too,[44][45][46] while a Samoan dubbing of the sequel was released without the original movie having been dubbed. Cravalho reprised the lead role in the Hawaiian dubbing of the sequel,[12] like she did in the first movie,[46] while several other members of the cast reprised their roles in the Māori dubbing.[47]

Of the six movies dubbed into Māori so far,[48][49] Moana 2 is the first one to have premiered in New Zealand simultaneously in English and Māori.[50] 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.[44] The second was the Sámi dubbing of Frozen 2, released in 2019 in Finland, Norway, and Sweden.[51][52]

Reception

Box office

As of November 29, 2024, Moana 2 has grossed $85.5 million in the United States[53] and Canada, and $24.1 million in other territories,[citation needed] for a worldwide total of $109.6 million.[53]

In the United States and Canada, Moana 2 was originally projected to gross $105–115 million over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend.[54] After making $57.5 million on its first day (including $13.8 million from Tuesday night previews, both the highest-ever for a Walt Disney Animation film and Thanksgiving week release), five-day estimates were raised to $175–200 million.[55] It then made a record $28 million on Thanksgiving, nearly doubling Frozen II's previous high of $14.9 million.[56]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 66% of 140 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "Riding high on a wave of stunning animation even when its story runs adrift, Moana 2 isn't as inspired as the original but still delights as a colorful adventure."[57] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 57 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[58] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale (down from the first's A), while those surveyed by PostTrak gave it an 89% overall positive score, with 64% saying they would "definitely recommend" it.[56]
