Episode Synopsis

Hey everyone, Moana and Maui are back with another adventure! The first Moana is one of the most popular and beloved Disney films of the modern generation; it has consistently been one of the most streamed films ever since it came out, especially once Disney+ launched back in 2019. Because of that, it's no surprise that Disney had a sequel on the way but the origins of this film are pretty interesting. It was originally going to be a Disney+ series but because Disney was so confident in how good it was, it was converted to a theatrical film. That news didn't exactly instill me with confidence but I also don't love the first Moana so I wasn't super invested in how the sequel would turn out. Is it one of the good animated films of 2024? Well, let's find out!
