I WATCHED MOANA 2 FOR THE FIRST TIME AND.....

[@njivwathomassilavwe2056]

While it's obvious at some points this was supposed to be a series but it's honestly not as bad as people say. It's an entertaining movie at the very least

[@lasseehrenreich5502]

I may watched at some point to see what a i think of it

[@alexisdogbo7958]

eeeh. I think it can be enjoyed, but i also think its fairly easy to see why people who consume media more critically were harsh

[@Gotamoona]

I think they tried to learn from trying this with Alantis the Lost Empire sequel movie cause that was going to be a tv series as well, but they changed it into a movie, and the movie flopped

[@Somewhere_Bagel]

@@alexisdogbo7958 I just hate the direction this movie will make the company go. The animators were rushed and on a time crunch, Moana is gonna probably just be turned into a more kid version of the MCU with how they teased another sequel. They didn't use the main team and used a cheaper smaller team for the movie and it paid off so rip to the main team ig because why would Disney pay big bucks for them when they can just use the cheaper team and people dont even care. I don't care if folks like the movie but like please understand the messy behind the scenes of the disney corporation

[@BlackDisneyPrincess]

28:45 Moana is the leader of her community, so this does make her a princess through a loophole, but if you’re asking if she’s an official Disney Princess, then yes

[@sequoiakawenga6064]

In Polynesian culture Maui is the one who pulled islands up out of the sea, for our people to live on.. if I remember correctly Maui said that in Moana 1

[@LannyArtist]

I need to learn more Polynesian culture, it sounds so cool

[@twist58]

Moana 2 feels more episodic than its 2016 predecessor and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s absence is felt here. The new songwriters couldn’t quite capture the musical essence he left behind. But to be fair, I say the song “Beyond” is the TRUE showstopper and the equivalent to Lin’s “How Far I’ll Go.” It pays homage to him in that last line of the song.

[@emmastayshigh]

Yess I loveeee that song but sadly was a little disappointed in Mauis song

[@ivanelugo]

The crew that Moana selected feels like the Lightyear crew for some reason

[@ryanlukkarinen2603]

What was Disney thinking having a villain that only shows his face in an END CREDITS SCENE?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[@borishorton4074]

It sets the stakes up higher for what is about or expected to come.

[@ryanlukkarinen2603]

@borishorton4074 It better be a masterpiece to make up for this movie.

[@borishorton4074]

@@ryanlukkarinen2603 I’m sure it will. I’m hoping for a death scene for one of the main characters. A permanent one. Not a fake out one.

[@ryanlukkarinen2603]

@borishorton4074 And no pointless side characters that are only introduced for ineffective comic relief.

[@borishorton4074]

@ Right.

[@Gotamoona]

The craziest thing in when she gets the vision of how the island will end if they don't connect with others is it can happens in real life from people inbreeding with others and the same DNA getting passed down

[@kai8617]

Moana has so much plot armor 😭

[@Nebulametal]

"...I was completely blown away! 🌊✨ The animation is even more stunning than the first, and the storyline had me hooked from start to finish. The new characters are so lovable, and the music? I can't stop humming those catchy tunes! 🎶😄 Can't wait to see how it all ties back to the original. Did anyone else get emotional during those heartfelt moments? 😭💖"

Why did Simea look like she wanted to beat Maui up?😂😂😂😂

[@tewaiford1670]

38:54 - I've heard a lot of bad reviews like... From people of religions with beliefs that doesn't align with what is in Moana and left the theater halfway through calling it 'demonic'. From People who were comparing it to the first movie. (For me I preferred the music from the 1st movie when I watched in the theater, but I now have the songs from the 2nd in my playlist) And from people who left the theater without watching the end credits, saying that it was incomplete even tho the end credits is a teaser for a 3rd movie. For me personally, who is of similar culture represented in Moana (Maori), I just enjoyed it, love it to bits and had happy tears.

[@flowerinantarctica]

i loved this movie idk maybe im too easily pleased lmao

[@jdouat7536]

The ones that don't have American accents are from New Zealand because a lot of Polynesians live or are from there. As this movie is about Polynesian culture. As well as New Zealand being in Polynesia.

[@hyuunjini]

Yoooo Scoot love the vid haven't been overhere in a while lol hope you doin good ☺️

[@obehiikhigbonoaremen1241]

My sister got it like that, is crazy.😂

[@Floral_skies2727]

I watched it and I didn’t enjoy it that much if I’m being honest, I can see why people didn’t like it. It’s because the events basically felt like there was storytelling but with no real elements there. Like the villain was missing, they could’ve used that ponytail hair lady for the villain. Although the songs were not that bad, not the best but ‘you have to get lost’ was PRETTY GOOD!! It didn’t sound unique or anything but I catch myself singing it still. Anyways, it’s an alright movie for entertainment but for real storytelling or a SOLID continuation of the story, it’s a pass. Overall, I gave it a 2/5 , maybe 2.5 and I usually rate higher.

[@hell_6660]

There's an end credit scene where it shows the real villain

[@Floral_skies2727]

⁠@hell_6660oh yea, I think it was the crab character. Guessing there’s going to be a Moana 3 and it’ll be better. I’m looking forward to Zootopia 2 though! Hope it’s not too cringey considering from what I saw so far 😅

[@Senisley]

We saw this movie 3D at the theater and the visuals were so amazing I got emotional so many times with the visuals alone... this movie is so beautiful 😍

[@Freezient]

Its really not as awful as everyone saying it is, but I do wished it could’ve been better. I mean we have a disney princess turned demigoddess, you’d think they would’ve want this to be better than the first, she’s the first official disney princess that is now a demigoddess

[@twist58]

So Scoot. What do you think of Moana suddenly being revived as a demigoddess? She now sports her own tattoo design like Maui.

[@Shaea_Q]

Same, I don't know why people dislike this one :D for me it's betetr than the first one

[@D_skullface]

Lmao i didn't know there's an end credit scene i miss an entire plot point for next movie

[@soqwf_]

scoot I need you to react to some Equestria girls shorts or musicals,they are alot of them,so I'm sure you would love them

[@Elisabeth-d2h]

You ever seen psych the musical? It’s the last 2 episodes of psych season 7 I think it’s pretty funny it’d be cool if ya watched it

[@keystorm3646]

Wow

[@lasseehrenreich5502]

I still haven't seen it but I've heard it's supposed to be pretty bad

[@infiniteearth6996]

It’s not bad it’s just mediocre compared to the first one the songs are very unmemorable and the story has very little thematic writing or good character development this movie really needs a villain tbh 🗿

[@lasseehrenreich5502]

@@infiniteearth6996 if there is a day when i have nothing better to do i might check it out

[@twist58]

Not really bad. Just equitable for a sequel.

Will you watch the 7th season of The Amazing World of Gumball when it will come out?

Idk why ppl hate this movie so much. Ngl i liked it just as much as the first. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@heyyyyouuu493]

Saw this in the movie theater twice lol With my parents And then I made my bf watch it lol It was definitely entertaining but when it came to the music .. it wasn’t bad but it just was the same throughout the movie. Like the same 2-3 lyrics. Just wish they were more creative with that. Otherwise Loved this movie And cried

[@lacondrathompson1747]

Bruh Luv U

[@Official.N04hXYT]

The music and plot was disappointing- after the first movie i rushed to listen to the songs on spotify, after the second movie i didnt care to listen to any of the songs- still havent listened to them since watching the movie.

[@ashh641]

Nah fr the songs were so flat the only one I can even remember a little is from that girl with the ponytail

[@twist58]

Beyond is the only consolation prize for a good song in this sequel. It’s like it pays homage to Lin-Manuel’s How Far I’ll Go.

[@swaggy_ash]

I’ve heard to many mixed things but I already dislike the music so I don’t have high hopes :(

[@dark_angel7162]

Completely unrelated but ik you've prob already watched it before but, can you watch the lion king? Even a rewatch would be enough for me

[@nicholasthomas.7553]

YOOOOOOO

[@ulisestorres1122]

I heard Moana 2 is very bad

[@BenjaminBarnett-f6n]

First

[@Gremlin_Boi_]

This movie was a massive disappointment but it got them the money they wanted, so it did what it was meant to.

[@marvelgirlfan0119]

Did this movie live up to its predecessor? No, it absolutely did not.

It lacks the heart, depth, and overall charm that made the first movie so memorable. The characters feel flat, the plot uninspired, and the emotional resonance is nowhere near what it was. No amount of effort can make up for what was lost in this attempt to follow up on a beloved classic. Moana 2 unfortunately doesn’t capture the same magic as its predecessor. The sense of wonder, emotional weight, and strong character arcs that made Moana such a standout film feel absent in this sequel. While the animation remains stunning and the music is serviceable, the heart of the story seems diluted. The characters, once full of life and depth, now feel like shadows of their former selves, leaving little impact. The original Moana told a complete and meaningful story, giving its protagonist a satisfying arc that didn’t need to be revisited. A sequel feels unnecessary, especially when it fails to expand on Moana’s journey in a compelling way. Instead of feeling like a natural continuation, it comes across as a studio-driven decision rather than a story that genuinely needed to be told. When a sequel lacks the passion and depth of its predecessor, it only serves to remind us how great the original was.
