MOANA 2 sets sail for a November release

It goes with out saying that 2023 was a tough yr for Disney. With any luck the tide will change for the House of Mouse in 2024. To that finish, the Walt Disney Company launched a first-look picture and particular look for Moana 2, the sequel to the acclaimed 2016 animated movie.

Presumably, Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson will reprise their respective roles as Moana and Maui.

Last November through the New York Times annual DealBook summit Walt Disney Company Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger admitted regardless of success with sequels for the corporate, there have been points.

“I don’t want to apologize for making sequels. Some of them have done extraordinarily well and they’ve been good films, too. I think you there has to be a reason to make them, you have to have a good story. And often the story doesn’t hold up to is not as strong as the original story. That can be a problem.”

Official press release under:

The Walt Disney Company Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger introduced as we speak that Moana 2, Disney Animation’s all-new feature-length sequel to 2016’s Oscar-nominated movie, will likely be launched in theaters in 2024. “Moana remains an incredibly popular franchise,” stated Iger, “and we can’t wait to give you more of Moana and Maui when Moana 2 comes to theaters this November.”

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 surprising name from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana should journey to the far seas of Oceania and into harmful, long-lost waters for an journey in contrast to something she’s ever confronted. Directed by Dave Derrick Jr. with music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina, Moana 2 opens in theaters on Nov. 27, 2024.
