The first trailer for Moana 2 has just dropped (via Toonado.com) ahead of the sequel's release in theaters this November. 

This sneak peek doesn't give too much away about the story, though we see that Moana (Auli'i Cravalho) will be heading on a new adventure which reunites her with the demigod Maui (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). 

It was only in February when Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed plans for a Moana sequel. While the news generated excitement among Disney Animation fans, it felt like the movie came out of nowhere. 

It was in 2020 when we first learned of plans for a Moana sequel TV series on Disney+. The idea was for it to serve as a loose follow-up in the same way as the streamer's Big Hero 6, Zootopia, and Up sequels. So, what changed?

Moana 2's shift from streaming to theaters was set in motion when Disney executives sat down to watch near-finished episodes of the series. Writer and director David G. Derrick Jr. seemingly exceeded expectations and the decision was made to combine the episodes into a single big screen tale. 

Based on what we see here, Disney made the right decision as the visuals are incredible. 

The studio is also developing a live-action Moana movie which will see The Rock reprise his role as Maui. He recently confirmed work has already started on that and mentioned production beginning this fall. As far as we're aware, the title character still hasn't been cast.

Opening only in theaters on November 27, 2024, Moana 2 reunites Moana and Maui three years later for an expansive new voyage alongside a 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 David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller, and produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino, Moana 2 features music by Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foaʻi, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina.

You can watch the first Moana 2 trailer below. We also have a new poster!

We'll see how this does. Lin Manuel not being involved could potentially leave more to be desired with the music. But as a parent, I'm ok not listening to the same songs a million times

@Evansly - Hot take, I'm over his style and think this could benefit from him not being around

@Evansly - As a parent of 2 little girls I overwhelmingly agree. We don't talk about "Let It Go", no no no.

The first was a great movie to take the kids, I expect this will too.

So the plot is to unite people across the world. Are we then getting Hawaiian culture and fiji and other pacific islanders in this one?

Yeah you can tell this was supposed to go to d+ as a TV show. I’m guessing they haven’t re-recorded most of the lines yet. Very return of jafar feel. Visuals aside.

My niece loved this movie and looked like baby Moana when she was young. We’ll be seeing this couple weeks after it’s out. I never go to movies right away. I hate the crowds. Too noisy. [frick] I sound old. Is 38 old!?!?!?

I'm nervous about this one. No Clements or Musker and no Lin Manuel Miranda is going to be a HUGE downgrade. We will have to wait and see how it does.
