Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson return for another animated cinematic voyage November 27 .
Moana and Maui take the open sea for another journey in Moana 2—and the first trailer has just arrived. The sequel to Disney ’s 2016 hit finds the young heroine getting an unexpected call from wayfinding ancestors to go on a quest. Joined by Maui and a new crew, she takes to the far seas of Oceania to uncover a new mystery. Here’s the first trailer, reintroducing us to Moana of Montunui and her demi-god bestie Maui, plus more glimpses of both new and familiar faces.

But first: animated sequel Moana 2 opens in theaters this November 27.
