Moana told the story about Moana and her town which was cursed when the demigod, Maui, disturbed the goddess Te Fiti. The sequel picks up where the last film ended, when Moana gets a call from her ancestors. She must journey to Oceania to experience an adventure like she never has before. This will be a compelling new addition to the franchise as Moana will have to decide between leaving her family behind again or taking to the seas.

Teaser
Walt Disney Animation Studio released a sixteen second teaser trailer after giving a sneak peak at CinemaCon. In the teaser, we can see a beautiful island during the sunset with Moana standing on the shore blowing the horn that summons Maui. Fans are excited to see the two reunited and are curious to what adventures they are going to get up to!
Who better to introduce MOANA 2 than Maui himself, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He believes that the film is “so much deeper than a movie to me”. He is also given the NATO Spirit of the Industry Award for “his commitment to the theatrical experience”. @CinemaCon #CinemaCon2024 pic.twitter.com/DMdRFWPcJK
