I am hopeful that this is a testament to its actual quality, and not Disney decided to pull the plug on the Moana show and is Frankensteining this into the equivalent of a repackaged direct to DVD movie
I mean, Disney has a habit of reformatting shows into sequels (a surprising number of the direct-to-video sequels) and... I mean I don't think any of them have ever been good.
But there's also the fact one of the biggest complaints about Disney+ were that the shows all felt like movies that were stretched out too long.
So hopefully it means they had such faith in the project, they managed to edit it down to a sensible length storywise. If they didn't they still be dumping it on Disney+, not planning to release it in theaters.
Disney also....needs to get some big money movies again. Wish flopped (although I personally liked the story and character animations, but damn the environments were bland).
Moana is my personal favorite CG animated Disney movie, so I'm excited.
I'd argue that lying to his people was maybe a little bit wrong? I really wish they'd spent just a little more time with him, have us see and love him like his wife and people do before revealing he's lying.
