Why Is Moana 2's Marketing So BAD???

[@AquaRunner533]

Moana should have been a TV series. Imagine seeing seasons explore fleshing out the world building. I know Polynesian culture offers so much and explore

[@declanmckenna6854]

Moana 2 was supposed to be a TV show. They're doing what they did in the early 00s where they take the scrapped episodes of the show, string them together with some half-baked plot or framing device and dump it. Iger decided to make this change last minute as a Hail Mary to try and wring some profit out of the last few years of his tenure (hopefully). This why the marketing is vague and lacking. It's a Disney+ series that no one wanted turned into a movie.

I don't know, I have to say Strange World was worse in the advertisement department. I didn't even realize it was a movie, I just thought it was like a park attraction or a museum display or something. Though I am getting very tired of movie ads (especially Disney) giving nothing for us to go on. The trailers are supposed to get us to want to see the movie, but the ads continually try to show as little of what they're selling as they can get away with. It's like the blurbs on the back of book covers!

when i saw that they gave moana a little sister i was immediately turned off from the movie. unless moana ends up needing to save her or something, she was literally only added to be cute… and i hate that

[@abiliv-lf9tz]

But also yeah same They might make a Moana 3 & 4 jus so they could use tha lil sis But for now shes only there so Moana can pretend to have a crisis Yknow the whole "ima go travel the seas and maybe die but if I dont then will my sister even be recognisible? Will I?" Crisis

[@kristinahuchison2511]

Same. I think Simea is absolutely adorable but that’s exactly the problem. She’s only there to be cute and sell toys, nothing more. At least other annoying younger siblings like Lilo, Koda, Mirabel and Anna had actual personalities and were the focus in their respective movies. NGL I actually would’ve loved to see Moana get a little brother instead, considering that was one of the original ideas for the first movie, Moana had a lot of older brothers

6:27 Unpopular opinion: The Baroness from “Cruella” is the best Disney villain that we’ve had since Ernesto in “Coco”. Cunning, ruthless, and oh so fabulous lol Say what you want about Disney relying too heavily on their existing catalog for inspiration and how unnecessary a “101 Dalmatians” remake was. Whenever she was on screen, I was having a great time! I don’t know why Disney’s been so apprehensive to include purely evil villains of that caliber in their media (ya know, excluding their animated series because Emperor Bellos from “The Owl House” is easily one of the best villains of all time).

[@yourclairygodmother]

[@trika91]

I don’t count Moana 2 as an actual Disney Animation theatrical film. This was a direct-to-streaming project (like all those direct-to-video “sequels” in the 90s-00s) that happened to get a theatrical release (also like Bambi 2 and Peter Pan 2 in certain regions). I’ll just wait until it’s on streaming, like it was originally supposed to be. I am looking forward to Zootopia 2 though.

[@roiitzkovich4545]

I watched the movie. It was fine. I'll give it a 6/10. Coming into the film, I heard many say it's a rehash of the first movie, but I have a history with realizing people over-exeggerate certain statements. But here... NO JOKE! It has a very VERY similar structure to Moana 1. Moana 1 consists 5 mini-arcs in this order: (the Motunui arc, the Maui's island arc, the Kakamora arc, the monster realm arc and than the climax). Moana 2 has mostly the same exact structure (the Motunui arc, the "comforting the new sidekicks to the mission" arc, the Kakamora arc, the monster realm arc and than the climax). While events have different purposes (like how the Kakamora were utilized this time), the only real difference is that there's no Maui's island arc (as if that makes a huge difference). It only helps to make it feel like I'm watching a lesser Moana 1. As far as other issues I have with the film: the songs aren't as good as in Moana 1, the humor isn't as good and Matangi was a really big disappointment for what her purpose in the plot was. The movie later tries to justify this in a certain way, but all it does is make me interested in... (SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED)... Moana 3. It doesn't do Moana 2 any favors. That said, the adventure was still P fun. While certain aspects are noticably weaker than in Moana 1, I wouldn't say they are bad. The animation was beautiful. I even quite enjoyed the songs honestly (yes, even "What Could be Better Than This" and "Can I Get a Chee-Hoo"). The best song was Get Lost thanks to the catchy melody and the GORGEOUS vocals of Awhimai Fraser (seriously, she gives Idina Menzel a serious run for her money. Like... damn those powerful high notes). The climax was really neat and high-stakes. I think almost everyone will agree it's at least better than the bland as all hell Wish (not really the bar I'm aiming for, but it's better than nothing).

[@desdar100]

LMM was thee secret ingredient of the original and he worked with the other two artists to make something unique. I think the one thing I rejected when it comes to the popification Disney is that a lot of Broadway songs since arguably rent are made to be contemporary sounding as opposed to the other way around. I think what makes a Broadway style song is when the music actually moves the story and tells you more about the setting and or characters. Moana 2 sort of does that but the lyrics really do make me feel like I'm less in ancient Hawaii and more so like I'm in 2024 la

[@destroyercodex]

I thought Moana was set in Ancient Samoa?? Regardless, I agree with you on this. I watched the movie yesterday and the lyrics felt really shallow and didn't move the characters or story very well... literally only the songs by Foa'i were good lol

This movie would be good as an introduction to a tv series rather than a standalone. I liked the movie, but I already had a few questions, some important and some trivial. The main antagonist feels like it tried to be like the first one, but pulled the rug halfway. The biggest offense was Matangi’s handling from the marketing vs how the actual movie handled her. I don’t really see her as some “misunderstood” antagonist as some people may see her as. Also her with dry hair was a crime /j.

If you asked me to come up with an idea for Moana 2, I'd have Moana go to New Zealand. The islands were settled by the Pacific Islanders, so it'd make sense. Māori New Zealanders are very proud of their culture. Maybe throw in a funny kiwi sidekick. If you don't like that idea, make a prequel about Maui doing all the stuff he's known for. The writers might get into hot water, since Maui is a very reveared figure, and some Pacific Islanders were upset by how he was portrayed in the 1st film.

Not that it matters but I'm just dying to tell someone because I just realized after hearing the name but I went to sleepaway camp with Emily Bear and she was already kind of like a child prodigy back then, she'd already been on the Ellen show. But she was like five years younger than me so a little kid couldn't be THAT talented, and then she never signed up for the camp talent show or the camp musical like yours truly so I doubt she's THAT good. And then ten years passed and I sort of forgot about her and everyone else at camp but here she is and she is like super duper famous now. Freaking weird man, freaking weird. She was like ten years old at camp. She is YOUNG. Very young to be co-composing a Disney freaking musical. Anyway I hardly saw her because she was so much younger than me but her older brother Benji was much closer in age to me and so I interacted with him a fair bit. I tried to look him up on facebook but my friend request from ten+ years ago is still pending lmao.

So Moana 2 has the same confusing plot as Frozen 2 ...

Matangi kinda gives Hades vibes.

I guess, the bat woman would be more fleshed out in the series this movie was supposed to be. But in the movie they did not have enough time soo.... don't think to long about it, just carry on with other more important stuff.

I went to see Moana 2 yesterday night and I have very mixed feelings. Is it a bad movie? No. Is it a good movie? Debatable. It just feels like a repeat of the first Moana movie but it tries to be on a much more grander scale and while it tries I felt like the movie was missing a huge point about its message and storytelling, but at least the songs were decent. To make a long story short, it should have been an animated series.
