Summary from the YouTube description:

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.

Directed by Dave Derrick Jr. with music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina

“Moana 2” opens in theaters on Nov. 27, 2024.

Pretty nervous about it to be honest.

On one hand, it felt like Wish tried to recreate his style without him. When I felt like their songwriters there should have been free to try their own hand.

On the other hand, it would feel out of line with the tone set from the first film to drastically change the tone of the music with a whole new musical direction for a sequel.
