Honestly I understand Disney for doing Moana 2 knowing the first movie made 80 billion per minute views on Disney plus alone. It's a fan service movie and will be successful whether straight to streaming or in theaters. Why are we supporting sequels and remakes while ignoring the originals? Moana 1 will always be better.

WHYYYYY is maui older looking?? this demigod has been 29 for thousands of years, but aged seemingly in real time from 2016 to 2024? your nearly immortal demigod got wrinkles and gray hair in 8 years, what happened in those 8 years? was he the president??

And then you have the flipside of that with Toy Story 4 & 5 where Bonnie hasn't aged a day in however many years it's been even though the movies aged the humans accordingly to the movie's release date. (Or at least 3 did, i don't know if 1 to 2 did, but Andy looked slightly older)

I really don't know how Disney does it... They ALWAYS make the worst decisions every time. If a show would benefit from being a single movie, they choose to make it a drawn-out Disney+ show... But if the movie would benefit from being a Disney+ show, they CHOOSE TO MAKE IT A MOVIE! They keep making the dumbest choices, if I didn't know better I'd say they're _trying_ to fail (but of course, that would be giving them too much credit. The reality is Disney is just run by incompetent executives who have no soul).

[@cowyemrsox]

The Main issue is that it's a story with a clear cut hero(Moana) and villian(Nalou) that doesnt develop the relationship between the two and instead focuses on the most irrelevant characters and features of its narrative. If the Dark Knight had a Joker we never saw and never even heard a single line of dialogue from that would be a waste of 2 1/2 hours. Almost every Disney movie ever made except this one understood your hero is only as strong as your villian. Whats 101 Dalmatians without Cruella? Whats Aladdin without Jafar? Whats Beauty and the Beast without Gaston? Even the recent Disney movies with twist villians established the villians as relevant characters in the story before their reveal. Mayor Belleweather, King Candy/Turbo, even the prince from Frozen are all established prominently in the story. All I knew about the huge main villian of this movie after it was over was that he was a god and that he was evil(I guess). No backstory, no insight into his philosophy or reasoning or anything other than he was just a meanie who wanted to separate the people of the ocean(I guess). Disney needs better writers because this is pathetic.

Maui wanted more of him in Moana 2!! I really loved Maui’s development, and I’d love that he kept his development while they expanded on it. He felt like a loving older brother and a teacher. For Moana, she was great. They expanded on her character, and nothing feels like they backtracked, which was great. She's still very adventurous, and *spoilers*, I believe she’s a demigod now, which is going to be interesting for future sequels. And if you look at how many tattoos Maui got, maybe it could show future advances or advancements Moana could make. So, my favorite characters in this movie were obviously Maui and Moana. Heihei, Kele was my fourth very good character; he just reminded me of me from time to time, aside from not liking singing. Moana's sister was slightly annoying, but she was a cool little sister. What interests me more is what future stories you could tell with that little sister to see what she goes on to do-if it’s good, evil, or somewhere in the middle, just adding a different layer to their characters. But what I rate this movie is about an 8.5 out of 10. I personally like this movie more than the first one. However, I do feel that since this movie was a series first, and then a movie, there's a slight bit of condensation. It looks like they’re saving a villain for the next movie or potential sequel if this movie does well, which is slightly disappointing. If that doesn’t come to pass, I might revise my rating, but for now, I’m feeling an 8.5 out of 10. If I were to count all my problems, it might go down to a seven, losing three points, or even a 6.5 out of 10. But currently, I’m not feeling like lowering it; I'm okay with the rating I currently have.

Good luck on the Over The Garden Wall video! Also happy early birthday.

Disney thought they could pull a similar move like Toy Story 2 with a 9 month production period. But unlike Moana 2, Pixar never let some inexperienced studio handle their sequel.

I love the first five 3D adorkable heroine Disney musicals: Tangled, Frozen, Moana, Frozen 2 and Encanto. Wish has officially ruined that style.

[@枒]

Frozen 2 and Encanto were mid

[@punkbjork]

​@@枒 nah, they were both pretty good, just not as good as the others, which set a high standard. i guess they're "mid" in the sense that they're less iconic, more forgettable, and flawed in execution of their narrative+thematic concepts, but it's good to remember adults aren't the target audience for these. i'm not a parent but although they're not particularly powerful or legendary in the disney canon, i think encanto and frozen 2 are both pretty good movies to show your kid.

[@InspiredByEbonyLove]

Went to see it. SAVE YOUR MONEY. Wait for it to hit Disney plus. I couldn’t help but wonder why they didn’t tap anyone to create an amazing soundtrack.

[@JettCreates]

For some reason, anytime they make a sequal that's bad, the original feels worse

[@joshuabrien2970]

Because before the last things with the characters in your mind was good and those good memories are mix in with the bad ones of the new film

[@linnylinlinlin]

The moment I saw “Moana 2” I was like yeah, NOPE. It’s already so wrong when they featured that useless pig character 😭

[@meme-bc8tf]

4:52 "literally one of them has one of the best youtube channels on this site" Schaffrillas Productions getting the praise he deserves hehe

[@CaptainUnikitty]

It’s ok we are all getting old Anyway I felt like it was gunna be not so good ever since I heard about it being a tv series It should’ve stayed a tv series

[@mommydoco]

Moana 2 felt rushed. i noticed when watching it while reintroducing the island they repackaged things from the first movie that made it unique and funny and it was borderline corny. I was also sad to see how dulled the characters in this movie were (her parents, the water, etc.) I didnt feel attached to them at all, and overall i felt like it was all moving very quick and i never exactly connected/was entertained by the story at all. (the songs were also so mid, it made me sad how un-memorable they were. i genuinely couldnt name one song if you asked me to)

[@kellaher]

Moana was such a beautiful movie, the second one SUCKED it made no sense and was a waste of time to watch

[@kezziahhh]

If moana was a pizza, this one would literally have zero toppings. Just flat bread. Not even salt that’s just it

[@spoonsrattling]

It is funny how many people want lin manuel miranda back. Honestly i dont want him back id much someone of howard ashman's caliber be hired. Cause as catchy as "the room where it happened' is, lin is hardly a fraction of the master that was ashman

[@bolng8958]

They fired half the staff and wanted to make money

[@chasehedges6775]

Exactly.

[@chasehedges6775]

Modern Disney’s quest for greed is utterly is impressive
