Disney has officially confirmed the release of Moana 2, a surprise sequel that comes far sooner than most people anticipated. In light of the impending release of the animated sequel, here is all we currently know about it.
Even while Disney is preoccupied with projects like Star Wars and Marvel, they are still committed to making their own animated movies, building on the success of recent hits like Inside Out, Frozen, and now Moana.
It has also been disclosed that Moana 2, which is expected to release sooner rather than later, is also in the works. We already knew a live-action movie was in the works.
When the first Moana movie debuted in theaters in 2016, it was an enormous commercial and critical hit for Disney. Moana received nominations for both best animated feature picture and best original song at the 2017 Academy Awards.
