Moana's Unexpected Voyage: A New Adventure Beyond Motunui in Moana 2

Moana, the beloved animated character voiced by Auli'i Cravalho, is embarking on a new adventure in the upcoming sequel Moana 2. The film, which also features Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson reprising his role as Maui, was initially announced as an animated Disney+ series but has since been reimagined into a feature-length film.

According to various sources, Moana receives an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors and sets out on a journey beyond the shores of Motunui. She is joined by Maui and a new crew of unlikely seafarers as they venture into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she's ever faced.

The first official teaser trailers for Moana 2 have given fans glimpses of some intriguing new creatures, including a large whale shark. The film is set to hit theaters on November 27, 2024.

Moana's original voyage in the first film was met with critical acclaim and commercial success, grossing over $687 million at the global box office and earning Oscar nominations for Best Animated Feature and for Lin-Manuel Miranda's original song 'How Far I'll Go'.

The music for Moana 2 will be composed by Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Opetaia Foa'i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina. David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller are directing the film.

Moana 2 is not to be confused with the upcoming live-action adaptation of the original Moana film, which is also in development.

The Moana 2 trailer gives us absolutely nothing — except a new whale shark friend

Polygon Media Group LLC Petrana Radulovic Wednesday, 29 May 2024 13:54
  • Unique Points
    • Moana 2 is happening with Moana and Maui returning.
    • New creatures are introduced in the teaser trailers, including a large whale shark.
    • Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Auli‘i Cravalho will reprise their roles as Maui and Moana respectively.
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (80%)
    The author expresses her excitement about the new Moana trailer and specifically mentions a whale shark friend. She also speculates about potential interactions between Moana and the whale shark based on other movies. While this in itself is not deceptive, it does demonstrate emotional manipulation as the author attempts to generate excitement and anticipation for the new movie by focusing on a single aspect of it: the whale shark friend. The author also makes assumptions about potential plot points based on limited information, which could be seen as selective reporting.
    • Maybe it’s not a friend? I don’t care. I see a whale shark and the only thought in my mind is can I pet it?
    • BIG WHALE SHARK FRIEND (!!!!!!)
    • I am kissing it
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author makes appeals to authority and uses inflammatory rhetoric. They mention the whale shark as a significant aspect of the trailer without providing plot context, which could be seen as a dichotomous depiction. Additionally, they reference the film's development history, hinting at potential issues with its production.
    • . . . I see a whale shark and the only thought in my mind is can I pet it?
    • Maybe the official synopsis will help? Moana 2 reunites Moana and Maui three years later for an expansive new voyage alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers.
    • This sequel is not the live-action Moana, which is still in development.
