The animated film is the second installment in Disney’s Moana series, following the original Moana (2016). Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson return as the fan-favorite duo Moana and Maui, joined by other beloved characters like Heihei (Alan Tudyk), Chief Tui (Temuera Morrison), Tala (Rachel House), and Sina (Nicole Scherzinger), along with a handful of exciting new characters.
In the second chapter, Moana sets off on a new adventure after receiving a call from her wayfinding ancestors. She must journey to the far seas of Oceania, venturing into “dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced,” according to Disney’s official synopsis.
Moana 2 continues to dominate the global box office, recently crossing the impressive $1 billion milestone worldwide. It’s the third Disney release of 2024 to achieve this milestone, following Marvel Studios’ Deadpool and Wolverine and Pixar’s Inside Out 2. The sequel has already grossed over $449 million in the U.S. alone, per Box Office Mojo.
However, Moana 2 has received mixed reviews from critics, earning a 61% score on Rotten Tomatoes—much lower than the original Moana’s 95% critics score. Audiences have reacted more favorably to the sequel, giving it an 86% rating, though still slightly below the original’s 89%.
