What to Know

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. Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Tim Cogshell 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. Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's great fun for girls and boys, and the animation is really sweeping. Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Maxance Vincent FlickSided 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 Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Kyle Amato Boston Hassle Disney is usually so precious with their IP these days, the looseness here is the most interesting part. Rated: C Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Rua Fay Cinemasters 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. Jul 21, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Sanaa I didn’t even get to watch it Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review John R Hard to beat the first movie, but this was enjoyable to watch with the kiddos. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Adrian M More like a Disney+ show with very Mid Stakes, end looks to lead up to a real big bad in the next movie. no memorable songs. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Alex didn't live up to the first one Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Steven S 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Dhanasekaran Arunagiri Good but, little boring, though Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
