Moana 2

Moana 2 is a 2024 American animated musical adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It is the sequel to the 2016 film "Moana," featuring the return of directors David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller, with Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson reprising their voice roles as Moana and Maui. The story continues three years after the original, following Moana as she reunites with Maui to assemble a crew and journey to the lost island of Motufetu to break a curse and reconnect ocean communities.

The film is notable as a significant new entry in Disney's animated franchise, building on the success of the original which was praised for its cultural representation, music, and storytelling. Its release marks a continuation of Disney's investment in Pacific Islander narratives and characters, with returning cast and creative team members helping maintain continuity and audience connection.

Recently, Moana has been in the news due to promotional activities for the separate live-action remake of the original film. Multiple media outlets reported on November 18, 2025, that Disney released the first teaser trailer for this live-action version, which is scheduled for release in 2026 and features Catherine Laga'aia in the title role. This parallel project has generated additional attention for the Moana franchise as a whole, though it is distinct from the animated Moana 2 sequel.
