Moana 2 gets a release date

The sequel to Disney’s Moana is all set to hit the theatres soon. The animated series will be released on November 27.

Dave Derrick Jr, who worked on the original film as a story board artist, has been roped in to direct the sequel, which is separate from a live-action remake of Moana starring Dwayne Johnson.

Abigail Barlow, Emily Bear, Opetaia Foa’i and Mark Mancina are writing the music.

The original Moana voice starred Auli`i Cravalho as Moana, a young woman who goes on an adventure against the wishes of her father, the chief of the Polynesian island of Motunui. Along the way, she teams up with Maui, a demigod of the wind and sea voiced by Johnson.

Johnson and Cravalho are expected to reprise their roles.

Ron Clements and John Musker directed the 2016 movie. Miranda, Mark Mancina and Foa’i were the songwriters. The movie generated over $ 680 million at the box office. The animated musical found renewed life on Disney+ with 1 billion streaming hours last year.
