Moana II


Recommended Posts

First one had a lot of magic for the kids.  This one is a lot closer to Frozen 2 than Toy Story 2.

 

Evidently it was supposed to be TV series that they re-rigged into a movie because Disney needed something in the box office given the losing streak they were on.  You could tell.  There are some giant electric eels that just appear, are there for a scene, are fought with, then are gone.  What the hell was that all about? Then you understand it was probably some bad guy in one episode of a series.

 

Kids left the first one singing all the songs.  This one felt like Elf Singing GIFs | Tenor level of quality of songs.

I've heard a lot of similar takes about this one, which sucks cause the first one was a bright spot for recent Disney movies.

The Bolded, however is baffling a bit. They literally have had the biggest Box office of the year with Inside Out 2 and Deadpool/Wolverine being the top 2 grossing movies this year. Like by a LOT(the only movies this year to crack 1 billion)

Re:Disney’s tough time.  Who knows if that motivation is real or not but I think they were referring to 2023 Disney bombs.
 

They (publicly) said Moana 2 would be big screen Feb 2024.  So the guess was it was a reaction to earlier bombs and 2023 was a rough year for Disney.

Lin-Manuel Miranda composed the songs for the first film. Didn’t work on Moana II. I think we discovered the problem.

Just saw it, was kind of surprised how ADHD it was. It felt like a Frankenstein script with a bunch of different scripts cut up and slapped together without any thoughts of how it flows as a story. There were a lot of quick cuts to completely different locations without any transition. They would switch locations and conversation topic without any transition or establishing shots, felt really weird and disjointed.

There were a lot of songs, and I honestly can't remember any of them. I will check YouTube later to figure out which one has our kids excited and dancing and report back. There was 1 they really really liked when the other lady that lives in the big clam was singing.
