She looks so different, like a younger version of her mother. I think she looks better than in the first movie.

I also read about the footage presented at CinemaCon, the song sounds pretty great. I just hope that her winning the boat race with her father will not be cringy. Also, the idea of the villager singing about her adventures in the first film sounds kinda cool; I assume they'll show us flashbacks as the song will play.

To be quite honest, I'm looking forward to seeing more of Maui, because he was the most interesting character, and he had the best song on the soundtrack.

I think it's ridiculous that they feel the need to recap the original in their sequels now, even the DTVs didn't do it and now people can catch the originals easily.

It is ridiculous. Especially since they already did that in Frozen 2. Are they planning to recap the original in every sequel they do from now on?

Bob Iger’s part during the earnings call said Moana 2 takes place 3 years after the original.

It's stated here in this article from the Walt Disney Company themselves The Disneynerd:

In Walt Disney Animation Studios’ all-new epic animated musical, Moana 2, three years since her first voyage, Moana is on an expansive journey in search of people beyond the shores of Motunui.

Ok now i can see her looking a bit different, Imo she looks better than in the first

Cinderella 3 and Jungle Book 2 did it, but I think their recap was likable and a good way to get into the movie, the only problematic and awkward one was Olafs recap in Frozen 2, it was too long, out of place and made the story look so ridiculous ...

I think Moana 2 Prolouge could be actually good and if its in the same style as Talas Prolouge about Maui, with animated tapestry, told as if its a legend.

At one point, a character asks: 'Do we have to sing?' Everyone promptly responds: 'Yes, we have to sing.'"

Atleast they are faithful to the original with that, as Maui said: "If you start singing, im gonna throw up"

Agreed. And Peter Pan: Return to NeverLand somewhat did it as well in it`s prologue. Despite not being a direct recap, it was summarizing it`s characters and situations.

the only problematic and awkward one was Olafs recap in Frozen 2, it was too long, out of place and made the story look so ridiculous ...

Agreed. It was essentially one of the mistakes of the movie for those reasons that you`ve mentioned: It was too long and felt out of place. I always cringed when I saw it theatrically or with my friends.

This still just reads like a direct-to-streaming project. Maybe it won’t be as cringe as it sounds but I doubt that.

I guess it will take a while before recent shakeups at executive levels will start to be reflected in the quality of the movies.

Moana 2 won’t be great based on how things have been going at Disney the last few years. If it doesn’t suck then that’s really against all odds.

You know, it’s not a good idea to be cynical about this movie. That never makes it better in the end.

I don't think that's the point, is to not get our hopes up only to be disappointed.

first look at the new characters

I’ve heard that Moana would have a sister in the series. So that girl in the first picture could be her. If I’m not mistaken, her name was Sima or something like that.

So I’ve learned some new information about Moana 2 and I want to correct something. Yes, Moana will have a sister in the sequel, but she’s not the kid from the first look picture. She is a toddler and her name is actually Simea.

Also the movie will have a villain, who is inspired by a Polynesian goddess. And she has a connection to bats.

[The Disneynerd]

Yeah the timejump could give her a 1/2 year old sister! She would be the 4th disney princess with siblings after Anna/Elsa, Merida and Ariel

Also the movie will have a villain, who is inspired by a Polynesian goddess. And she has a connection to bats.

That could be Leutogi! Really interesting! Thank you for sharing!

AYIEEEEE! I love learning about different mythological deities in different cultures so hearing such will be in it makes me so giddy again! I also love that Moana might face off with a legit villain, really makes me wonder how ther interactions would be like, if that Goddess won’t be sidelined and forgotten and will only meet her at the near end, which I will not like at all. I would love if it is straight up that Goddess you mentioned about Disneynerd and thanks again for the small info dump friendsoftheotherside. I guess you’re truly living up to that name…

Regarding the info shown at CinemaCon…yeah, nothing much happened, kinda boring and nothing VERY new was revealed aside from the song. The moment I read that part about the kid asking if he has to sing with the villagers immediately gave me flashbacks to when I first read the Bambi joke in Wish which was shown at Annecy last year. (Groans…) Anyways, to end this post on a positive note, Moana again looks really good in this older design. It makes her more mature while also keeping the visual and trademark elements that make her herself in the first movie.

As Maui would say: you’re welcome

I'm not a really fan with a Disney movie become self aware. It comes off as snarky and trying to act quirky.
