      Moana 2 was supposed to be a TV show. They're doing what they did in the early 00s where they take the scrapped episodes of the show, string them together with some half-baked plot or framing device and dump it.
      Iger decided to make this change last minute as a Hail Mary to try and wring some profit out of the last few years of his tenure (hopefully). This why the marketing is vague and lacking. It's a Disney+ series that no one wanted turned into a movie.

    Moana 2 was apparently the canceled Disney+ animated series that Disney now decided to lump and patch to become a movie because they already had the material. In other words, the Atlantis 2 situation again.

    I don't know, I have to say Strange World was worse in the advertisement department. I didn't even realize it was a movie, I just thought it was like a park attraction or a museum display or something.
    Though I am getting very tired of movie ads (especially Disney) giving nothing for us to go on. The trailers are supposed to get us to want to see the movie, but the ads continually try to show as little of what they're selling as they can get away with. It's like the blurbs on the back of book covers!

      Same. I think Simea is absolutely adorable but that’s exactly the problem. She’s only there to be cute and sell toys, nothing more. At least other annoying younger siblings like Lilo, Koda, Mirabel and Anna had actual personalities and were the focus in their respective movies. NGL I actually would’ve loved to see Moana get a little brother instead, considering that was one of the original ideas for the first movie, Moana had a lot of older brothers

This was a direct-to-streaming project (like all those direct-to-video “sequels” in the 90s-00s) that happened to get a theatrical release (also like Bambi 2 and Peter Pan 2 in certain regions). I’ll just wait until it’s on streaming, like it was originally supposed to be.

  • @roiitzkovich4545

    I watched the movie. It was fine. I'll give it a 6/10.
    Coming into the film, I heard many say it's a rehash of the first movie, but I have a history with realizing people over-exeggerate certain statements. But here... NO JOKE! It has a very VERY similar structure to Moana 1. Moana 1 consists 5 mini-arcs in this order: (the Motunui arc, the Maui's island arc, the Kakamora arc, the monster realm arc and than the climax). Moana 2 has mostly the same exact structure (the Motunui arc, the "comforting the new sidekicks to the mission" arc, the Kakamora arc, the monster realm arc and than the climax). While events have different purposes (like how the Kakamora were utilized this time), the only real difference is that there's no Maui's island arc (as if that makes a huge difference). It only helps to make it feel like I'm watching a lesser Moana 1.
    As far as other issues I have with the film: the songs aren't as good as in Moana 1, the humor isn't as good and Matangi was a really big disappointment for what her purpose in the plot was. The movie later tries to justify this in a certain way, but all it does is make me interested in... (SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED)... Moana 3. It doesn't do Moana 2 any favors.
    That said, the adventure was still P fun. While certain aspects are noticably weaker than in Moana 1, I wouldn't say they are bad. The animation was beautiful. I even quite enjoyed the songs honestly (yes, even "What Could be Better Than This" and "Can I Get a Chee-Hoo"). The best song was Get Lost thanks to the catchy melody and the GORGEOUS vocals of Awhimai Fraser (seriously, she gives Idina Menzel a serious run for her money. Like... damn those powerful high notes). The climax was really neat and high-stakes.

    LMM was thee secret ingredient of the original and he worked with the other two artists to make something unique.
    I think the one thing I rejected when it comes to the popification Disney is that a lot of Broadway songs since arguably rent are made to be contemporary sounding as opposed to the other way around.
    I think what makes a Broadway style song is when the music actually moves the story and tells you more about the setting and or characters.
    Moana 2 sort of does that but the lyrics really do make me feel like I'm less in ancient Hawaii and more so like I'm in 2024 la

    other than that, love the video! i now feel compelled to rewatch frozen 2 and check if the soundtrack is actually not as good. also debating whether or not i should listen to the moana 2 soundtrack or wait til i can watch it... which i'll probably watch it once it hits disney+.

    This movie would be good as an introduction to a tv series rather than a standalone. I liked the movie, but I already had a few questions, some important and some trivial. The main antagonist feels like it tried to be like the first one, but pulled the rug halfway. The biggest offense was Matangi’s handling from the marketing vs how the actual movie handled her. I don’t really see her as some “misunderstood” antagonist as some people may see her as. Also her with dry hair was a crime /j. I love that Moana only had a bit of a change physically because I relate to this. I don’t look that different from how I looked like at Moana’s age in the first movie. I was like “omg she’s like me lmao” 😂

    Well, I saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it. The songs were no where near as good as the first, but finding out this was originally supposed to be a series explains a lot. Plus I’m still living on the high of seeing Wicked the day before, so there’s that. The songs were on par with Tangled the movie with the exception of Mother Knows Best and See the Light (the series had better songs than the movie 🤪). Now I’m actually more impressed at how well the movie turned out.
    All things considered I’m actually looking forward to Moana 3 now 😆

    You know I wish that Disney Made the villain be inspired by a God or a story from Polynesian mythology kind of like how they made the Teka inspired by this God in Polynesian mythology who is the god of volcanoes I forgot what her name was but I do remember that she married this other God who was like a god of rain water and storms I wish I did something like that for the villain instead of making like this basic looking villain that feels like a villain who is trying so hard to be scary but it's just doing a bad job at it cuz that's like the Vibes I get from this villain just a kind of boring villain who want people to be afraid of I hope that's not all she is because I what this equal to be good or at least memorable but I'm not going to get my hopes up

    How much of a story do you guys think should be in a trailer? Because I know some people legitimately do not want to even know the basic synopsis of a movie before they watch it because they think it "gives away the plot" but I've personally felt that I need to know at least that much or else I don't know if I'm interested.

    This is sad, I was hoping for something similar to Sinbad’s Eris. Now that was classic villainy with her own special signature. The way Michelle Marie Pfeiffer gave the character a body with just her voice was incredible. Actors who specialize in voice acting are my preference in animation but Pfeiffer made Eris unapologetically bad.

    The most disappointing aspect of this is that an animated show would have worked so well. It would have kept Moana in the public consciousness in a positive light. It honestly would have helped trick people to have some excitement for a live action remake instead of distain.

    If you asked me to come up with an idea for Moana 2, I'd have Moana go to New Zealand. The islands were settled by the Pacific Islanders, so it'd make sense. Māori New Zealanders are very proud of their culture. Maybe throw in a funny kiwi sidekick. If you don't like that idea, make a prequel about Maui doing all the stuff he's known for. The writers might get into hot water, since Maui is a very reveared figure, and some Pacific Islanders were upset by how he was portrayed in the 1st film.

    Not that it matters but I'm just dying to tell someone because I just realized after hearing the name but I went to sleepaway camp with Emily Bear and she was already kind of like a child prodigy back then, she'd already been on the Ellen show. But she was like five years younger than me so a little kid couldn't be THAT talented, and then she never signed up for the camp talent show or the camp musical like yours truly so I doubt she's THAT good. And then ten years passed and I sort of forgot about her and everyone else at camp but here she is and she is like super duper famous now. Freaking weird man, freaking weird. She was like ten years old at camp. She is YOUNG. Very young to be co-composing a Disney freaking musical. Anyway I hardly saw her because she was so much younger than me but her older brother Benji was much closer in age to me and so I interacted with him a fair bit. I tried to look him up on facebook but my friend request from ten+ years ago is still pending lmao.

    I went to see Moana 2 yesterday night and I have very mixed feelings. Is it a bad movie? No. Is it a good movie? Debatable. It just feels like a repeat of the first Moana movie but it tries to be on a much more grander scale and while it tries I felt like the movie was missing a huge point about its message and storytelling, but at least the songs were decent.
    To make a long story short, it should have been an animated series.
