Critics Consensus

Riding high on a wave of stunning animation even when its story runs adrift, Moana 2 isn't as inspired as the original but still delights as a colorful adventure.

Audience Says

While a second shipwreck adventure is never as fun as the first, the heroic titular non-princess and her crew of misfits are always engaging in Moana 2, a beautifully animated enterprise.

Kyle Smith

Wall Street Journal

The film strings together wacky episodes that give the animators lots of space in which to exercise their whimsy. Yet instead of building on one another, the situations are simply dealt to the characters like cards.

FilmWeek (LAist)

If children of a certain age like this kind of kinetic fare, they're going to like this movie. It never stops, not for one second.

It's great fun for girls and boys, and the animation is really sweeping.

It almost feels criminal that [Auli'i Cravalho] doesn’t have enough great material to work with, either in its practically non-existent story or through its remarkably unmemorable songs that pale in comparison to Lin-Manuel’s work.

Rated: 1.5/5

Disney is usually so precious with their IP these days, the looseness here is the most interesting part.

Auli'i Cravalho does a great job reprising her breakout role, and it's clear just how much love she has for the character. Unfortunately, there's not much else that works in this film.

Major letdown, they needed LMM for the music & should have spent more time trying to rework what was going to be a tv series into a movie because it was very obvious still.
