Disney’s sequel to the beloved animated film Moana is generating excitement, especially with the news that Auli’i Cravalho, the original voice of Moana, will be returning to voice the character once again. The announcement of Moana 2 came as a surprise, with Disney initially planning to continue the story as a streaming series on Disney+. However, due to the success of the original film, the decision was made to turn it into a feature film for theaters. The film is set to be released on November 27, following Disney’s tradition of releasing animated films around Thanksgiving.

The return of Auli’i Cravalho as the voice of Moana in Moana 2 has been met with excitement and anticipation. Cravalho’s performance as the adventurous and brave character was praised for its authenticity and charm, making her return to the role a welcome one for fans of the original film.

Directed by Dave Derrick Jr., Moana 2 will feature music from Abigail Barlow, Emily Bear, Opetaia Foa’i, and Mark Mancina.

Notably, this time, Lin Manuel Miranda, who wrote songs for the original Moana, will not be returning for the sequel, reported Deadline. While some fans may be disappointed that Lin Manuel Miranda will not be returning to write songs for Moana 2, the talented team of composers and musicians working on the film’s music ensures that it will be a musical treat for audiences.

In addition to Moana 2, Disney is also working on a live-action version of the first Moana film. Dwayne Johnson, who voiced Maui in the original film, is producing the live-action adaptation and will reprise his role. However, Cravalho will not be playing Moana in the live-action version, with a new actress set to take on the role. Cravalho will serve as an executive producer on the project.

The live-action Moana is being directed by Thomas Kail, known for his work on Hamilton, with a screenplay by original Moana writer Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller. While the live-action adaptation is currently set to release in 2025, there are reports that it may be delayed following the announcement of Moana 2, as per ComicBook.

Overall, the future looks bright for Moana fans, with Moana 2 and the live-action adaptation promising to deliver more of the heartwarming and inspiring storytelling that made the original film a hit. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the franchise or new to the world of Motunui, there’s plenty to look forward to in the coming years as Moana continues to entertain audiences around the world.
