Fans of Moana know well that they had to wait eight long years for a sequel to arrive in Moana 2, but what some of them may not know is that they almost didn't have the chance to see their favorite Disney character back on the big screen again. Originally planned as a Disney+ series, Moana 2 went under some last-minute changes to be transformed into a feature film. In an interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Moana 2 directors Dana Ledoux Miller, David Derrick Jr.
"It was always the same overarching story and emotional journey that we wanted to tell every time. We wanted to introduce all these new characters. It was a story about connection and personal growth. What the series gave us was an opportunity to get to know these characters intimately, the way you can with a series, but what we were doing in the story just begged for a bigger and bigger screen.
Moana 2 takes place three years after the events of the first movie and chronicles a call that she receives from her ancestors. Moana is instructed to assemble a crew and brave the seas to find a hidden island to reconnect with other civilizations. Auli'i Cravalho reprises her voice role as the title character and other returning voice cast members include Dwayne Johnson , Temuera Morrison , Nicole Scherzinger , Rachel House , Jemaine Clement and Alan Tudyk .
