Moana II

[OneOfTheOutOfFocusGuys 2095]

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  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.

This was supposed to be a Disney+ show and was reworked so Disney could have a Thanksgiving release like they do every year. It will still do good numbers. It already did 11M in previews.
