Was kinda hoping your article would end with a question about if Moana 2’s success in making a billion after going from planned Disney+ series to theatrical movie means Tiana’s series would be next to become a movie for theaters in the future.

The lawsuit points to similarities between Moana and “Bucky.” One example: both celebrate a recurring theme of the Polynesian belief in spiritual ancestors manifested as animals. Other similarities include the protagonist’s journey starting with a turtle, a plot involving a symbolic necklace, a main character who encounters a demigod adorned with a giant hook and tattoos and a giant creature that’s concealed within a mountain. 

So its the Aladdin and Thief& the Cobbler situation all over again. Thats a tricky situation as one can argue if its specifically ripped off that thing or just handpicked the same polynesian elements.
But i think seeking damages of 10 Billion is maybe a bit too much, how about 10 Million

“Moana 2,” which opened ahead of Thanksgiving, brought in $11.1 million overseas and $17.6 million globally over the weekend. The animated sequel, which was developed for streaming before pivoting to cinemas, will eventually be Disney’s third 2024 release to join the billion-dollar club following “Inside Out 2” and “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Those outsized ticket sales likely mean a third adventure with the plucky wayfinder won’t be too far on the horizon.

In Spain you can find ton of dolls everywhere. I expected a better sales for them but I was wrong.

If the judge issues a temporary injunction against Disney, their plan for further Moana movies – including the 2026 live-action Moana movie, the Maui TV show, and a potential Moana 3

I did a search and didn't see anything...were we aware of a potential Maui TV show, or did ScreenRant just speculate?

Some of the claims are very stupid because you can't own Polynesian culture

But yes it's clear they copied him since that's the plot of Moana 1 word by word

But suing Disney for using Polynesian culture without that person being Polynesian feels very...
