The trailer for Disney’s Moana 2 is making waves as it establishes a fresh record for the company. The trailer is Disney's biggest animated trailer since its release, with over 178 million views in the first 24 hours.
Heihei and Pau will be returning to the big screen for a brand new adventure. It is set to open in theatres on November 27th, 2024.
The events of the sequel begin three years after the 2016 installment with the characters embarking on “an expansive new voyage alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers.”
Auli‘i Cravalho and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson will return to voice Moana and Maui. The sequel features music from Abigail Barlow, Emily Bear, Opetaia Foaʻi, and Mark Mancina.
Moana 2 was originally announced as a Disney+ series but was reviewed as a full-length movie directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller.
Moana 2 is part of Disney's hope to bring back the Disney movie legacy, as the company has suffered multiple financial losses from its past projects. In 2026, the live-action Moana film starring Dwayne Johnson is expected to be released.
The first movie grossed nearly $700 million at the global box office. The 2016 original movie was also the most-streamed movie across all of Disney's platforms in 2023.
