“The ocean is calling them back… 🌊🌺” Disney has revealed the first look teaser trailer for a surprise sequel – Moana 2, about the Polynesian girl with a special connection to the ocean. The original Moana musical from Disney Animation Studios opened in late 2016 and became a beloved global hit, ending up as a favorite of many young viewers everywhere. This sequel is the first feature film made by Disney’s Vancouver based studio. It was only revealed this was in the works earlier this year, and it’s already set to open in theaters in November this fall. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana journeys to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced. Auliʻi Cravalho returns as the voice of Moana, with Dwayne Johnson back as Maui and Alan Tudyk as Hei Hei. There’s also apparently a live-action version of Moana still in the works for 2025. In the meantime, we’re getting this follow-up sequel bringing back all the characters for another voyage on the water this year.
