Moana returns in a new image from the sequel.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT An image from Disney's upcoming Moana 2 highlights the princess's return. The original Moana released in 2016 and was a huge success for Disney. However, the sequel announcement in February 2024 came as something of a surprise, as the movie was originally planned as a TV series. The release date is quite soon as well, with the film dropping in theaters this November.
Moana 2 Could Give Disney a Much-Needed Win The Company Has Struggled With Its Recent Animated Movies There was a time when Disney animated movies were almost a guaranteed success. However, films by both Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar have struggled in recent years. Part of this is due to the pandemic, with Disney opting to release movies like Soul and Turning Red on Disney+.
Disney is still capable of creating animated hits, however, with 2021's Encanto a shining example. As Moana is already an established – and incredibly successful – franchise, Disney will be hoping those who enjoyed the first film will turn out for the sequel. It's likely what prompted the company to pivot Moana 2 from a TV show to a movie in the first place.
Related 10 Biggest Questions Moana 2 Needs To Answer Moana is finally getting a sequel 8 years later, which means a chance for the biggest unanswered questions from the first movie to be addressed. Still, Moana 2 will have its challenges. For one, the last-minute announcement means the movie could struggle with word of mouth. Additionally, the future of the franchise is a bit muddled right now as a live-action take on the first movie is in the works as well.
