Moana 2 Is... (REVIEW)

[@800Ms-k6n]

The lack of Lin Manuel Miranda as songwriter was pretty concerning. Say whatever you want about him but he made some incredible bops for Disney and was one of the reasons why the first Moana was so fantastic

[@RattlesnakeJake101]

At least he's doing mufasa The Lion King so at least his presence is going to be in that movie and I'm glad he's a part of the movie making new songs for it.

[@maxTheTimeSlasher]

Loved those songs from the first one

Your dad must be present then, because this movie took up most of the ads I’ve seen on multiple devices (with personalized ads off) and I’ve seen it on some TV spots, it’s clearly being marketed and working, it’s just not being marketed towards you then.

One thing I’ve noticed that I never thought would be the case with Disney… The thanksgiving release slot is now a VERY bad sign for their movies… Because every animated movie that has had the thanksgiving release for the past few years has had almost no marketing and has underperformed or been lower quality… 2021: Encanto massively underperformed due to marketing 2022: strange world got no marketing and flopped. 2023: wish flopped due to bad reviews. 2024: Moana 2 got little marketing and is getting mid reviews… Prior to Covid the thanksgiving slot was a guaranteed success. Frozen (1 and 2) Ralph breaks the internet, coco, Moana, all were massive successes! But now that thanksgiving slot is a bad sign. Hopefully Zootopia 2 will change this trend in 2025…

[@mrscoolwhipp]

This is very interesting and spot on. The November movie month release used to be a magical moxie time frame, and now I'm sad it isn't 😅 I will always think of Harry Potter debuts in November when I reflect back (yes, I know that's not a Disney property)

[@800Ms-k6n]

At best, at least Encanto had some songs that became a huge hit and won an Oscar so it didn't seemed all that bad after all

[@Cashcorn]

I think encanto undrperformed because people were still getting used to no lockdown and mostly watched it on Disney+. To be honest I didn’t even know that movie was in theaters I thought it went straight to streaming. Also Lin Manuel popped off with the soundtrack and overall the movie was peak.

[@talonschultz5277]

@@Cashcorn oh I’m not saying the movie is bad by any means. I do really enjoy Encanto It did underperform mainly due to its release on disney+ less than a month after its release but there also was very little marketing when it was released in theaters which is a result of the post-pandemic lifestyle of 2021. But it still underperformed nonetheless

Does the knowledge that this was initially a Disney+ series impair the viewers ability to critique? They go into the film already looking for holes in the story.

[@sinisterkyrin]

I’ve gotten so many ads for Moana 2. It really just depends on algorithm and what you watch. I do feel that Disney released this at the wrong time. Wicked advertising was overpowering Moana 2. It’s kind of hard to promote the movie everywhere especially if you have little interest in Disney, it just wont appear in your feed. The new gladiator movie is an example. I had no idea the movie existed until it released the same day as wicked.

It didn't nothing happen That's the problem nothing happened there was no reason for this sequel to exist You can tell that there's so much that was cut and condensed since it was supposed to be a TV series animation is beautiful but that ain't enough to save the story it's just like frozen too another movie that they didn't have a plot for or plan for and it's just there and a coattail on name alone and because the first movie was successful

[@nicholasdeporto5257]

[@SpringtrapPlush101]

But one thing that I’m actually curious about is, what do you think of the villain in the movie? What’s your honest opinion on that one?

[@DeekoloFX]

The closest thing to the production of Moana 2 is Atlantis: Milo's Return and Belle's Magical World than Toy Story 2. Those 2 direct to video sequels were basically the living corpse of animated shows based off of Atlantis and Beauty and the Beast only to then get canceled and were reworked into sequels instead.

[@joshuatewolde1837]

And THAT’S Why Frozen II Did A MUCH BETTER JOB In Being a BEST EXAMPLE Of A Perfect Cinematic Disney Sequel!

[@Gael-qk5gw]

I think that what happened is that the series may have been leading to a proper Moana 2 but then they saw that the mcu series leading to movies have been a failure so they panicked and decided to just make the series into a movie that way the third one which was actually supposed to be the second one doesn’t flop like how the marvels did since people don’t have to watch a series before hand and just have to watch the two theatrical Moana movies
