Auliʻi Cravalho returns as Moana, who carries her responsibilities as a leader with depth and maturity. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reprises the role of the demigod Maui, sprinkling his signature charisma and humor into the film. Moana and Maui’s dynamic also develops into a true partnership based on mutual respect and shared objectives. One such new character is Moana’s younger sister, who brings a totally fresh perspective and energy into the film.

The Musical

Song and dance are crucial to “Moana 2,” embodying and celebrating Polynesian culture and the film’s sense of adventure. It fuses traditional Pacific Islander sounds and modern melodies to create its soundtrack. When I took the newest version of the film to heart from the beginning to know what was the most standby song, it was “Beyond,” a ballad sung by Auliʻi Cravalho that carries with it an intention from throughout Moana: Discovery and bonding. This song, along with others, adds depth to the storytelling and gives viewers memorable musical moments.
