Disney announced earlier today that we’re all getting a Moana 2!
Moana 2 was initially to be a TV series, however, Disney CEO changed his mind and decided to make it into a sequel to Moana instead.
“We were impressed by what we saw and knew it deserved a theatrical release.”
Based on stats, in the past year (2023), Moana had been streamed for more than 1 billion minutes on Disney+.
The film was a huge success when it was released, grossing 643 million dollars worldwide, and was also nominated for two Academy Awards.
Moana 2 will be released on 27 Nov with Moana, Maui, and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers on a voyage.
The film’s description reads:
After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.
Besides the sequel, the first movie will also be seeing a live-action remake in 2025.
