Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Moana 2 is poised to repeat the success of Disney's $1.4 billion sequel — but the film could also repeat its mistakes if it isn't careful. Disney's Moana 2 announcement came as a surprise eight years after the original movie debuted. One huge 2023 stat makes sense of the Moana sequel, as the 2016 film hasn't decreased in popularity. It's somewhat surprising Disney didn't green-light the follow-up sooner.

To be fair, both Moana's character and the world she lives in are ripe for further exploration. And with Moana fans eagerly awaiting a sequel for the past eight years, it seems inevitable the 2024 sequel will repeat Frozen 2's $1.4 billion success. There's little doubt that it will do well at the box office, especially with its promise to expand the original film's lore.
Moana 2 should avoid digging so deeply into its magic storylines and world-building that it forgets what makes the original work. Striking the right balance is key, and Moana 2 can be even better than Frozen 2 by doing so. After all, there's no guarantee that the upcoming Disney film will have more sequels to flesh things out further — though many fans would certainly welcome more installments.
