The creators of Moana 2 said they are “blowing the doors off” the hit original film, promising a wealth of new characters and an “incredible new tapestry of songs”.

The Oscar-nominated original musical was released in 2016 and followed Moana, voiced by Auli’i Cravalho, who embarked on a journey alongside tattooed demigod Maui – played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
