What is the story of Moana 2?

Moana 2 sends Moana — now an experienced wayfinder — on a new voyage across the ocean. The film expands the world of the original significantly, introducing new islands, new characters, and new challenges while maintaining the original's Pacific Islander cultural framework and its emotional focus on the bond between Moana and the ocean.

The sequel reunites Moana and the demigod Maui as central characters, continuing their relationship and deepening it with the experience both characters have gained since the first film.

Who voices the characters in Moana 2?

The principal returning cast includes:

• Auli'i Cravalho as Moana — Cravalho provided the voice for the original Moana (2016) at age 15 and has been widely praised for the emotional authenticity and vocal performance she brings to the role
• Dwayne Johnson as Maui — Johnson's enormous physical presence translates effectively into the expansive, larger-than-life animated demigod
• Rachel House as Gramma Tala
• Temuera Morrison as Chief Tui, Moana's father
• Nicole Scherzinger as Sina, Moana's mother
• Alan Tudyk

New characters include Kele (voiced by David Fane), Moni (voiced by Hualālai Chung), and Loto (voiced by Rose Matafeo).

Moana 2's Extraordinary Commercial Performance

The numbers for Moana 2 are exceptional by any measure.

Box office: Moana 2 grossed over $1 billion worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing animated films of 2024 and placing it among the most commercially successful Disney Animation features of the decade. It became the third-highest-grossing film of 2024 overall.

Streaming: On Disney+, Moana 2 was the most-watched film of 2024 on the platform, accumulating more than 80 million views. For context, that viewership figure places it among the most-watched streaming titles ever reported on a major platform.

These numbers reflect the genuine cultural affection for the Moana franchise — an original IP that Disney Animation developed without a pre-existing property and which resonated globally, particularly because of its authentic engagement with Pacific Islander cultures and values.

Why Moana Matters: Cultural Representation in Disney Animation

The original Moana (2016) was notable for its collaboration with Pacific Islander cultural consultants and its decision to set the story within a specific cultural framework — Polynesian wayfinding traditions, Te Fiti/Te Ka mythology, and the Pacific Ocean as active protagonist — rather than using a generic Disney fantasy backdrop.

That cultural authenticity generated genuine goodwill from Pacific Islander communities, particularly in Samoa, Tonga, and Hawaii, and helped give the film a distinct identity within the Disney Animation canon.

Moana 2 continues that collaboration, with the involvement of Opetaia Foa'i — who provided the Polynesian cultural musical framework for the original — ensuring the sequel maintains the same commitment to authentic representation.

The Original Moana (2016): Why the Sequel Succeeds

To understand why Moana 2 has performed so well — both commercially and with audiences — it helps to understand what made the original Moana distinctive within the Disney Animation canon.

Moana (2016) was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog) and produced with an extensive commitment to Pacific Islander cultural consultation. Rather than creating a generalised tropical fantasy setting, the film drew specifically on Polynesian wayfinding traditions — the extraordinary navigation practices of Polynesian voyagers who colonised the Pacific using only the stars, ocean swells, wind, and bird behaviour. This practice, largely abandoned during the colonial era, has been revived in recent decades by organisations including the Polynesian Voyaging Society, whose work informed the film.

The result was a Disney film with a specific cultural identity rather than a generic fantasy backdrop. The story of Moana — a young woman who defies her island-bound community to sail beyond the reef and restore Te Fiti's heart — is also a story about the recovery of ancestral knowledge and the value of navigating by stars rather than staying safe. That thematic substance gave the film an emotional depth that distinguished it from Disney princess films with more conventional setups.

The music — written by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), Opetaia Foa'i, and Mark Mancina — was central to the film's cultural authenticity and commercial success. Foa'i's knowledge of Polynesian musical traditions and languages gave the film's songs a specificity that "How Far I'll Go" and "You're Welcome" built upon with more conventional Broadway-pop construction.

Moana 2 builds on all of this foundation, returning to the same characters, the same cultural framework, and the same musical team (Barlow, Bear, Foa'i, Mancina) with a new story and expanded scope. The addition of new characters — Kele, Moni, and Loto — extends the world without diluting the original's focus.

The more than 80 million Disney+ views in 2024 confirm that Moana 2 is not simply a film for those who saw the original in cinemas in 2016: the streaming audience for this sequel includes a generation of children who have grown up with Moana as part of their Disney library, many of whom encountered the original through Disney+ rather than theatrical release.
