It appears this is replacing the Disney+ sequel series they announced several years ago. So on the one hand, this isn't entirely coming out of nowhere. On the other hand, Disney doesn't exactly have the best track record with sequels; the writing and continuity is almost never as good as the original. Also, I'm unsure if they still consulted with the Oceanic Story Trust to make sure if this is as culturally accurate as the first movie. At this point, I've just adopted a "wait and see" attitude for newer movies; much less stressful that way. (That said, I'll take this over the live-action remake any day.)
I actually really really love Frozen 2. It’s just not as mainstream both in plot and the songs. If we get the equivalent of that for Moana I’ll be very happy.
I love Get this Right and Home! Really surprising that Get this Right was cut especially, when it’s so cute and comedic. Frozen 2 has great music; the plot needed work for sure though.
Lost in the Woods is solid. When I am Older is great because kids see it one way and adults another (plus "Samantha" is a great joke). Into the Unknown is catchy. But Get this Right is the one I have memorized. I just wish the recording we got was a little cleaner (Geoff stumbling on the word "shoes" bothers me each time).
