About this episode
Hello, friends of Disney! Join us today as we delve into the much-anticipated sequel, Moana 2!
Moana 2 was released in theaters last week, and is set just 3 years after the original movie. Moana, our beloved protagonist, continues her quest to find the other islands her people sailed to. However, a new clue on a distant island leads her on a perilous journey to unite the people of the ocean. With the help of our favorite demigod, Maui, Pua, HeiHei, and other villagers from her village, Moana embarks on this epic adventure.
Moana 2 is a sequel to the Disney animated movie Moana, released in 2016. Auli’i Cravalho reprises her role as Moana, while Dwayne Johnson returns as Maui and Alan Tudyk voices HeiHei. The music for Moana was composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, while the sequel’s music was written by Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, known for their work on the unofficial Bridgeton musical. They even won a Grammy in 2022 for Best Musical Theater Album and penned the song “Mexican Pizza: The Musical for Taco Bell.”
Moana 2 has a lot to live up to, given the immense success of its predecessor. So, come join us as we critically examine this highly anticipated release and offer our honest and fair opinions on this sequel.
