Come to think of it, the old guy could have represented the people who weren't comfortable with the people being Wayfinders again. He could’ve been the first generation to have stopped the voyaging (either him or his parents) and, as a result, he and his peers would be ill prepared for such a change. Like "our island is just fine! Why should we voyage again?"
He and his peers would be best prepared because they are most likely to have grown up with the stories and some of the old skills. It is the people two generations later, say Moana's generation, who would least prepared because they didn't grow up with the stories and none of tbhe old skills. But then again, we already know Moana's dad was the one who stopped people from sailing away too far. So old man could easily have been a decent sailor.
I think Maui losing his tattoos in that scene was supposed to be him being turned mortal but he got his powers back after the battle, since moana gaining a tattoo was meant to be her becoming a demigod, they should have explained that better in the actual movie
14:57 That's the thing. Disney used to be pioneers and experts of their craft. But nowadays, it feels like that they've become shells of their former selves and are too focused on what'll make them the most bank instead telling a legit good story, sequel or not. And as someone who had high hopes for Zootopia 2, I feel like that it'll meet the same fate as Moana 2 and every other Disney sequel before and after it; something that plays it too safe, is afraid to take risks outside of their comfort zone and devolve and/or rehash once beloved movies into shells of their former selves. Meanwhile, Pixar, DreamWorks, Sony, Warner Bros and to a certain extent, Illumination, they are mostly consistent when it comes to crafting follow ups that supercede the originals. There's a reason that sequels like Toy Story 2, Shrek 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Toy Story 3, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Inside Out 2 are fondly looked back upon as modern classics that are leaps ahead of their predecessors while sequels made by Disney can barely jump over the hurdle.
@@cinnamonmantrainsareawesom7224 And whatever happens in Zootopia 2 will be just alright. But that seems to be Disney's MO nowadays. Just alright. Meanwhile, the competition is actually putting out their best and are actually one-upping their biggest competitor.
I'm really impressed by this video, man. I'm loving your content, dude. Films like this deserves to be better than this, but my real big animated sequel of the year was Inside Out 2 anyway. Also, that final statement about the worries of Disney's future path was quite intimidating and ominious, but hey, I'll take it over using AI for the visuals or worse, the story.
Come to think of it, the sequel could have been a great opportunity to have Maui interacted with Moana's family. Think of the hilarity if him having screen time with the grandma's spirit or with the little sister.
9:09 Abigail I don't know from TikTok, but Emily Bear actually has legit music credibility. If she's the protege of Quincy Jones, one of the greatest Jazz Musicians of the 20th century, she's gotta' have some kind of skill as a songwriter. Never mind the fact that she's from TikTok, she's also apparently won grammys and emmys. I feel like they should've just went with Emily as the only Songwriter.

This should’ve been a TV show like it should’ve been, but they did the best with what they had. I enjoyed it, but it’s a bit disappointing that the story they wanted to tell wasn’t as good as it could’ve been.
And with this one, I think we can officially put the last screw on Disney's coffin. I just want the last remaining eps of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, and then I never want to hear the name Disney as long as I live...
Just because Disney is doing more sequels isn’t a bad thing or we won’t get more original stuff like Elio next year, I f Disney has plans to cap off a Moana trilogy I say go for it 👍
Is it weird that i actually love the song chee hoo? Maybe not so much with the context of Moana but in the sense of a mentor and a pupil type song but that’s just me
The reason why I didn't watch the movie is because the little sister just came out of nowhere making me no longer relate to Moana and I didn't even find her cute at all, probably because of my jealous behavior is my either first or second reason.
1:27 I haven’t gotten a chance to see the movie yet, but I really hope it subverts the third-act misunderstanding from the first movie and he sticks by Moana this time, showing he learned his lesson
Maybe they should... perhaps re-release it 2 years later, but taking much of their times finding a good idea for another great hit? Dreamworks should be pulling something truly great with Bad Guys 2, or any good movies for that matter.
I feel so bad for the fruitbat lady We finally have a Eris like charachter from simbat but Disney and fruitbats 🦇 Fruitbats are my favourite animal But man there so poorly portrayed its making me sad Shes so much wasted potential
Yeah, not quite what people were hoping for Moana. By the way Finn, is the *Mario Movie 2 Pitch Part 3* coming anytime soon? Not sure if you mentioned it at all anywhere else since Part 2, or if there’s been a cancellation. It’s been quite a while.
Well it was a tv series that was made into a sequel so yeah. Literally this is what Disney did back then with their straight to dvd sequels that weren’t on par with the original.
7:05 2 really. What about that unforgettable song let it go. What about the post credit scene with the storm god. I think the Moana 2 songs are good if you are just a average movie enjoyer. They add some world building the coconut had a home island and and more lore about the gods the the people were used to be connected by the sea.
Yeah, it was mostly that there was a negative impression of what the movie would be like from the terrible marketing, but as people actually went to watch it, they realized the marketing did the movie dirty & began recommending it.
Ironic. Disney changed this TV show to a movie to avoid yet another misstep, only for that change to be what causes yet another misstep for them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're doing a fantastic job! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Finally! Something that isn't made by Vivziepop(no offense to the Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel fans, i just think Vivziepop is so overrated)... Thanks for this video, i do believe that this sequel is kinda pointless too. It's basically like Megamind 2 where they just plastered episodes, called it a movie, and moved on with their day.
Dude it has The Rock in it. Of course it’s gonna be middling because that’s what he’s known for now releasing 5-7/10 movies and being a baby when he doesn’t get his way
This entire video proves nothings is only talking BS. You don't own the truth, and its a sequel way more better then the entire Helluva Boss new season. You don't know nothing at all what a good animation is.
I don’t know why Moana 2 is getting so much hate. I just saw the movie tonight and I really liked it! The story was cohesive, the drama was great, the music was bangers as usual, and it’s nice to see Moana learn something from a supposed villain and apply it during her quest. That’s my favorite trope when it comes to those types of characters. Really, I only have two complaints. 1) The movie can drag a bit at times, especially during the beginning with introducing the little sister, adorable as she is. I feel like more should have been done in the first fifteen or so minutes of the movie to really make it stick with you. And 2) The story is just a *tad* similar to the original, and Moana 2 suffers in the same way as Inside Out 2 in that regard. The overall story is mostly the same as the original movie: sail across the ocean, find a missing island, break a curse, return home. Still, I think the movie did enough to stand on its own merit. Overall, while the movie definitely has its hiccups, I don’t think it’s a *pointless* sequel, and definitely not the first three episodes of the TV show stitched together. It’s cohesive all the way through, for what it’s worth. 9/10 movie for me, would watch again if I got a chance.
The film and its ending were very well developed, very good villains, very fluid plots, and a sequence worthy of existence that is being extremely wronged by everyone for the dumbest reasons in the world.
literally a sequel that wasn't even suppose to be a sequel
Welcome back, straight to DVDs
Actually it wasn’t supposed to be a movie, it was originally a Disney+ series
cloudy with a chance of meatball

I think disney could still release a Moana series and at least be sure the audience would like it
I think Maui losing his tattoos in that scene was supposed to be him being turned mortal but he got his powers back after the battle, since moana gaining a tattoo was meant to be her becoming a demigod, they should have explained that better in the actual movie
I don't like when sequels movies have to re-explain things from the first movie

Won't be that long, Finn. Cause I can already promise you now that more people are going to go see Sonic 3 than they will Mufasa.
Its the "Milo's return" Disney of sequel's

Good review. I enjoyed the Wander Over Yonder reference, because all of their songs were bangin'!
Holy crap you're still around?? Awesome! I remember watching you long ago
I like Get Lost and Chee-Hoo but couldn't even remember the names of the other ones until this video... and I saw the movie 2 days ago
I'm glad your back to doing videos welcome back!❤❤❤❤❤❤
This should’ve been a TV show like it should’ve been, but they did the best with what they had. I enjoyed it, but it’s a bit disappointing that the story they wanted to tell wasn’t as good as it could’ve been.

Agreed
So I actually was in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade with Emily Bear's big brother, and have been to their house. Two degrees of separation is crazy.
Just because Disney is doing more sequels isn’t a bad thing or we won’t get more original stuff like Elio next year, I f Disney has plans to cap off a Moana trilogy I say go for it 👍

the song get lost itches my brain so good. NO REGRET
I like how you said that both frozen tracks that schaffrillas didnt like were great (I agree with you, Frozen Heart is one of my favorites)
Yay a new Video Hope that life gets better for you ❤
Should've just been a series for Disney+.as originally planned.
Not me getting a Moana ad praising how good it was lmao
And you know what's crazy that is Moana 2 became the highest grossing film In thanksgiving due to good marketing
There was marketing????????? Genuinely haven't seen anything for it
They released it In nov 30 which is Thanksgiving @@tanktheturtle2304
I litteraly love the ocean puns. ❤
HIS BACK
I enjoyed this movie quite a bit, but, it only hit me now how similar the two films are.
Maybe they should... perhaps re-release it 2 years later, but taking much of their times finding a good idea for another great hit? Dreamworks should be pulling something truly great with Bad Guys 2, or any good movies for that matter.

Thank you saying that Frozen Heart was one of the best hits from Frozen. Underrated and honestly, my personal favorite from the film.
I feel so bad for the fruitbat lady
We finally have a Eris like charachter from simbat but Disney and fruitbats 🦇
Fruitbats are my favourite animal
But man there so poorly portrayed its making me sad
Shes so much wasted potential
You're telling me a new hell of a boss episode comes out I'm the next video you do is a moana 2 episode mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Yeah, not quite what people were hoping for Moana. By the way Finn, is the *Mario Movie 2 Pitch Part 3* coming anytime soon? Not sure if you mentioned it at all anywhere else since Part 2, or if there’s been a cancellation. It’s been quite a while.
Personally, I liked it. Music was not as good as the first, but the composer changed. Story was nice.
8:53 you are pushing it with that joke.
11:09 Don't you mean: "In mouse?"
5:41
You sounded like Vailskibum at this part (no offense of course) 😄
Well it was a tv series that was made into a sequel so yeah. Literally this is what Disney did back then with their straight to dvd sequels that weren’t on par with the original.
7:12 schaffrillas moment go brrr
When is Jack Horner’s star? What if?
That would be interesting
I hate the fact that i got a Moana 2 trailer while i was watching this video 😭
7:05 2 really.
What about that unforgettable song let it go.
What about the post credit scene with the storm god.
I think the Moana 2 songs are good if you are just a average movie enjoyer.
They add some world building the coconut had a home island and and more lore about the gods the the people were used to be connected by the sea.
Guys didnt they get rid of Lin Manuel Miranda in the new moana? (Worst mistake ever- if so.)
am i just now realizing finn uses the bfdi mouths
Maybe this movie was made to set up a sequel which is why it feels rushed, but that might give the company the time to make sure the 3rd one is better
This should’ve been a TV show instead.
1:22 wait Elemental was initially hated?
Yeah, it was mostly that there was a negative impression of what the movie would be like from the terrible marketing, but as people actually went to watch it, they realized the marketing did the movie dirty & began recommending it.
Even SaberSpark did video on it
Ironic. Disney changed this TV show to a movie to avoid yet another misstep, only for that change to be what causes yet another misstep for them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's the AC/DC of Disney Movies.
Even Timon and Pumbaa would react to Moana 2 like from The Lion king 1 1/2 interrupting the movie every time and find it 😵💫🥱🙄
You're doing a fantastic job! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Finn, do you know about the Sonic Disney War of 2024 to next year?
Finnthepony can't wait until Christmas comes 😊
I think the entire movie and hey said narrow was very hard to beat but they beat him in like 10 mins

Thanks for this video, i do believe that this sequel is kinda pointless too. It's basically like Megamind 2 where they just plastered episodes, called it a movie, and moved on with their day.
Tbh Viv is also overhated. I’ve seen just as many complainers as fans. Though there is a lot of overlap between the two lol
@finnthepony honestly I think the questions you have had tords disney you should do whole separate longer video to answer those questions
So now that you're feeling better when are you gonna do videos the amazing digital circus episode 3 and helluva boss matermind?
Well I'd thought Moana 2 it was Okay for what it was
Also I wouldn't higher tick tockers for music as they are pretty bad unfortunately
Oh boy.
Moana 2 is not a Pointless sequel!
Saw this movie last week it was awesome
I chose to believe that that was a girl cockimoa and her and the cheff were in a relationship and...... that scene were thy say goodbye 😢😢😢
Saw it yesterday. I thought Chee Hoo was the best song in it. The songs were nowhere near as good as in the first movie.
cool
Do your thoughts and feelings on Dream productions
Dude it has The Rock in it. Of course it’s gonna be middling because that’s what he’s known for now releasing 5-7/10 movies and being a baby when he doesn’t get his way
