Moana 2 recently crossed the $1 billion milestone at the worldwide box office, becoming the third 2024 release to achieve this massive feat. As the sequel crossed the mark, Disney achieved a glorious feat since all three of the past year’s highest-grossing films are from Disney—Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Moana 2. After surpassing the great milestone, the makers have released the sequel on digital platforms, but there is a twist. Scroll below for the deets.
About the Movie
The animated musical feature is the sequel to 2016’s Moana, which was directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Mille. Auliʻi Cravalho as Moana, Dwayne Johnson aka Maui, Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, Rachel House, and Alan Tudyk reprised their roles from the first film. In addition to them, Hualālai Chung, Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Awhimai Fraser, Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda, and Gerald Ramsey joined the star cast in the sequel.
Moana 2 received an average rating of 61% on Rotten Tomatoes by critics on its Tomatometer, while the audience gave it a strong 86%. The critics’ consensus read, “Riding high on a wave of stunning animation even when its story runs adrift, Moana 2 isn’t as inspired as the original but still delights as a colorful adventure.”
In the sequel, Moana and Maui set sail on a new voyage with a new crew of seafarers. 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.
