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 Patrick Beatty ABC4 Utah The driving force comes from Dwayne Johnson's Maui. He again delivers a bombastic and captivating performance, and that special bond between him and Moana continues to grow in this. Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Lucy Buglass TechRadar Moana 2 doesn't soar as high as its predecessor, but it's still a beautiful movie that celebrates Polynesian culture and the power of unexpected friendships. Rated: 4/5 Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios While Moana 2 does a good job of revisiting the characters we grew to love in the original, the storyline—while enjoyable—isn’t as compelling or groundbreaking as the first film.

Heidi Will for ever love Moana Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Ashley T moana 2 was trash the story line was chaotic didn't like the new characters and all it had was one epic scene near the end. very disappointing. please don't turn this into a live action. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Nick M Moana 2 was a valiant effort to extend the legend of Maui and Moana, however, it failed to capture the magic of the original with a flat performance by The Rock, songs lacking the catchy sing-a-long elements, and a noble plot that was marred by a non-existent antagonist. There were certainly entertaining and funny parts along with a positive message about bringing people together, but it wasn’t enough to save the movie from being just another sequel that didn’t live up to the original. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Madelyn I went with my Mami 😊 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review 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.
