Plot overview: Moana's new adventure
The narrative resumes three years following the conclusion of the preceding film, as the protagonist reconnects with the demigod Maui to establish a wayfinding team tasked with discovering the cursed island of Motufetu, lifting its enchantment, and reuniting the oceanic communities. In Moana 2, Moana (voiced by Cravalho) and Maui (voiced by Johnson) join forces once more for a grand new quest featuring an unforeseen array of characters. A surprising call from her ancestral navigators compels Moana to undertake an extraordinary journey, one that challenges her to traverse the perilous, long-forgotten waters of Oceania.
The ocean chooses Auliʻi Cravalho to break the curse on the island of Motufetu through her character Moana, who are the inquisitive daughter of village head Tui and his wife Sina. Dwayne's "The Rock" Johnson portrays Maui, a demigod capable of shape-shifting and travelling alongside her.
Sequel's development: From miniseries to feature film
The Moana sequel transitioned from its initial conception as a Disney+ miniseries to a theatrical release. The original film's composers and co-songwriters, Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foaʛi, returned to craft and compose the music for the sequel, while Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear took over the role of additional songwriters from Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The sequel outperformed its predecessor, becoming the third highest-grossing film of 2024 with a global revenue of $1.027 billion. Although critics provided mixed feedback, the film achieved significant box office success, ranking fifty-first in all-time earnings. It received a nomination for Best Animated Feature Film at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards.
Dwayne Johnson's involvement and expectations for the sequel
Johnson previously stated that he had been involved with the project from its inception, encompassing its development, and expressed his enthusiasm for audiences to experience the film, the technology, the effects, and the innovative aspects. Each participant fully committed to the endeavour. Given that this is a sequel to a highly cherished original, they concluded, "Why not fully embrace the opportunity?"
