Adventurous New Trailer For Disney's MOANA 2
Disney has released a new trailer for its upcoming animated sequel, Moana 2, and it offers us our best look yet at the new adventure that Moana and Maui find themselves on.
The trailer debuted at the Disney D23 Expo tonight, but you can watch it right here right now. Stars Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson showed up at the event and Cravalho performed a live performance of one of the film’s new songs, “We’re Back,” with dancers and drummers from Nonosina Polynesia under the direction of Tiana Liufau. Johnson also led the audience in a rousing “chee hoo!” chant.
Moana 2 reunites Moana and Maui three years later for an expansive new voyage alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.
The movie was directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller, and produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino. It features music by Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Opetaia Foa‘i, and Mark Mancina.
The additional voice cast includes Rachel House (Moana’s Grandma, Tala), Temuera Morrison (Moana’s father, Chief Tui) and Nicole Scherzinger (Moana’s mother, Sina).
The film also features the voices of Hualālai Chung, David Fane and Rose Matafeo as Moana’s new crew members Moni, Kele and Loto, respectively. Awhimai Fraser voices mysterious new character Matangi; Gerald Ramsey plays Moana’s ancestor, Tautai Vasa; and Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda lends her voice to Moana’s adoring and adorable little sister, Simea.
