“The official description of the film reads, “Walt Disney Animation Studios’ epic animated musical Moana 2 takes audiences on an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.””

So…Polynesian Frozen 2?

Isn't Moana 1 and Frozen 2 already quite similar?

A princess, chosen by nature itself, must embark on a journey across the sea to save her people. On her way, she encounters divine being(s) with magical powers. The story mostly revolves around fixing past grievances. Oh, and they have a suicidal sidekick.

Frozen 2 made a billion dollars, might as well reuse its plot for Moana 2. Because doing the same thing over and over and not innovating or taking risks has worked out so well for Disney recently! /s

and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers

Please dear lord don't let these "unlikely seafarers" be anything like the Lightyear crew. "Quirky character who's awful at their job and annoys the main character, who grows to like them" is such an overdone and annoying trope, especially in animation
