Disney fans, get ready to take to the seas once more with Moana and because Moana 2 is on the horizon.
The sequel to the 2016 hit animated film, Moana, is making a splash in theaters later this year on November 27.
This announcement came directly from Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, signaling a significant development for the beloved franchise.
Originally conceived as a TV series, the project eventually evolved into a feature film due to the impressive quality of the footage, convincing Disney executives that a theatrical release was necessary. Although we can't help but think that this has more to do with Disney and its recent decision to focus more heavily on quality over quantity.
Either way, this all but confirms that Moana 2 isn't just a cash grab - it's a genuine attempt to make a sequel to one of the most beloved animated films of the past decade.
As for the film itself, Moana 2 promises an expansive new voyage that takes Moana and his demi-god protector, Maui, into uncharted territories. After receiving a mysterious call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana embarks on an adventure through the far seas of Oceania, navigating dangerous and long-lost waters. The journey is unlike anything Moana has faced in the past, setting the stage for a thrilling and heartfelt exploration of heritage, courage, and discovery.
