Exciting news, Disney fans! Get ready to set sail once again with Moana in a brand-new adventure! 🌊🚣♀️
Bob Iger recently announced that a sequel to the beloved 2016 animated film is in the works, and it's hitting theaters sooner than you might think – this Nov. 27! Originally planned as a TV series, Disney decided to give us more of Moana and Maui on the big screen instead.
In "Moana 2," our favorite characters embark on a thrilling new journey across the vast seas of Oceania. When Moana receives a mysterious call from her wayfinding ancestors, she sets off into uncharted waters with Maui and a new crew of companions. 🌟
Directed by Dave Derrick Jr., and featuring music by Abigail Barlow, Emily Bear, Opetaia Foa’i, and Mark Mancina, who also worked on the first film, "Moana 2" promises to be an unforgettable adventure filled with excitement and discovery. 🎶🌴
The original "Moana" was a huge success, earning over $680 million at the box office and becoming a beloved favorite among fans. Plus, it's been streamed for over 1 billion hours on Disney+! 🎬💰
So, mark your calendars and get ready to join Moana on her next epic voyage. It's going to be an adventure like no other! 🌺✨
Last April, Dwayne Johnson shared some exciting news during a Disney shareholders meeting: a live-action remake of Moana is on its way! 🎉
In a heartfelt tweet, he expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to bring Moana's beautiful story to life on the big screen. He also mentioned how the character of Maui had a significant impact on his life and paid tribute to his grandfather. 💖
However, there's a change in the cast for the live-action film. Auli'i Cravalho, who originally voiced Moana, won't be returning for the role. In an Instagram post last May, she emphasized the importance of accurate casting to represent the characters and stories authentically. Despite not reprising her role, she'll still be involved in the project as an executive producer. 🎬✨
It's always exciting to see beloved stories reimagined, and we can't wait to see who will step into Moana's shoes and bring her courageous spirit to life on the big screen once again! 🌺🎶
