About Moana 2 Movie:
Moana 2 is an upcoming American animated musical fantasy adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The second installment in the Moana franchise and a sequel to Moana (2016), the film was written and directed by David G. Derrick Jr. (in his feature directorial debut) and produced by Osnat Shurer. Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson will reprise their roles as Moana and Maui, respectively.
Development on Moana 2 originally began in 2020 as a television series for Disney+, before being reworked into a theatrical sequel by February 2024. Shurer was confirmed to return as producer, alongside story artist Derrick as director and writer, making him the first Samoan to direct a Walt Disney Animation Studios film. Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa’i, the composers and co-songwriters of the first film, return to score and write the songs, while Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear replace Lin-Manuel Miranda as additional songwriters.
Animation was handled at Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Vancouver studio beginning when it was being developed as a series, while pre-production and storyboarding took place at the Burbank studio. It is the first project to be made at the Vancouver studio.
Moana 2 is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 27, 2024, opening against Universal Pictures’ Wicked. When it was initially conceived as a television series, it was scheduled to be released on Disney+ in 2024, though originally slated for 2023. While a live-action remake is scheduled for release in June 2025, with Johnson reprising his role in both.
