Walt Disney Animation Studios' epic animated musical Moana 2 takes audiences on an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui and a brand-new 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.[6]
During a Disney Investor Day meeting in December 2020, chief creative officer Jennifer Lee announced that an animated series titled Moana, based on the 2016 film of the same name, was in development at the studio for Disney+.[10] The series entered development simultaneously with the live-action remake.
In February 7, 2024, Bob Iger announced that the series had been reworked into a theatrical feature film.[1]
Release
Moana 2 is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 27, 2024. A sneak peek at the film is set to screen at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 14, 2024.[11] The first trailer for the film was released on May 29, 2024.

In 2020, a sequel to Moana was announced in the form of an animated series that was set to debut on Disney+.[10] This was eventually retooled into a theatrical feature film.[1]
In fact, this marks the first Walt Disney Animation Studios film that was originally intended as a TV series.
This is also the second Disney-owned film to be in this case, after The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, though it was still released on Disney+ even after being retooled into a film.
This will be the first Walt Disney Animation Studios sequel since Frozen II in 2019.

This is the first Disney Princess sequel to be a part of the Disney Animated Canon.
This is the first film by WDAS produced mainly at their Vancouver studio in British Columbia, Canada.
This is the first Moana film to be produced in 2.00:1 aspect ratio, unlike the first film that was produced in 2.35:1.
There is an eight-year gap between the release of first movie and the sequel.
This will be the third Disney film to be released on November 27 after Treasure Planet and Frozen.
As she does appear in the closing credits of Wish, Moana technically continues the recent tradition of Walt Disney Animation Studios using their end credits to reference their next movie.
