'Moana 2' announces the streaming premiere date

Moana 2 was initially planned as a TV series for Disney+. At some point during his development, Disney realized that if they transformed this streaming show into a theater publication, they could earn hundreds of millions of dollars – and then could still use the thing on streaming. Why not get two bite on the same apple? This is not snow white! The thing is not poisoned!

Sure enough, Moana 2 When he opened in cinemas last autumn, it achieved $ 1.05 billion worldwide despite moderate ratings and so La the reaction of the audience. After the Disney bank accounts have been charged, it is directed where it should always be primarily, and the company announces that it will be at Disney+ premiere in just a few weeks.

Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson repeat their roles as Moana, the Brave Ocean Explorer, and Maui, the wise, the demigod. This time they try to find a sunken island that can combine all different people of the ocean. To do it, you have to put together a new crew for your boat and challenge a vengeful God on the way.

Cravalho and Johnson are good in their roles Moana 2 offers the typical colorful and expressive animation that we expect from Disney. Where the film was at least a disappointment for me was in the song division. Compared to the classics presented in the first Moananothing in Moana 2 measured. (Lin-Manuel Miranda was significantly absent from Moana 2'S credits, and he was definitely missing.)

As I wrote in my review …

Moana's musical numbers were his greatest strength; The musical numbers of Moana 2 are the biggest weakness. The first film had the groovy “shiny”, the toe “where you are” and the upper anthem “How far I will go”. Moana 2 contains tracks that should fit into each of these categories, but none are catchy or unforgettable.

I would not have asked people to rush to the theater to see Moana 2. But there is streaming for that. If you liked the first film and have Disney+, the reputation doesn't cost anything to see anymore Moana 2 There when it debuts on March 12th. And if you do that Moana 3 The post-credits scene of the sequel indicates so much that you convince Lin-Manuel Miranda to come back and work on one or two songs.
