Walt Disney Animation Studios’ epic animated musical “Moana 2” takes audiences on an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.
“Parents need to know that Moana 2 is the sequel to Disney’s popular Polynesian-themed 2016 musical. This time around, when Moana (again voiced by Auli’i Cravalho) receives an important mission from her ancestors, she journeys with a small crew (and Dwayne Johnson‘s Maui, of course!) to find a missing island that will unite all the peoples of Oceania.
…the story focuses on community, leadership, friendship, and teamwork. And there are plenty of laughs (including sight gags involving an elder’s bottom and Maui’s moving tattoos) and positive messages. Moana is a strong role model, demonstrating perseverance and courage; she’s also a loving older sister, devoted daughter, and inspiring leader.” – CommonSenseMedia
From Roger Ebert.com review by Brian Tallerico
“Moana 2” opens three years after the end of the first movie with the titular heroine (Auli’i Cravalho) endeavoring to break the curse of Nalo that has essentially isolated islands of people. Moana is searching the seas for the mythical island of Motufetu, which can reportedly unite these different cultures. Still, it has been so hidden by Nalo that generations have been unable to find it. Moana says goodbye to mom Sina (Nicole Scherzinger), dad Tui (Temuera Morrison, doing a lot with very little), and little sis Simea (Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda), and sets sail with a new crew of wayfinders.
