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.

Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) 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 & Mayo's Film Review It's great fun for girls and boys, and the animation is really sweeping. Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Andrea Thompson Chicago Reader Much like the hermit crab who kicks things off by attempting to trade in his new shell for an ill-fitting larger one, there’s simply not enough to fill out Moana 2. Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Shawn Edwards Fox 4 Kansas City I think younger audiences will enjoy... Rated: 3/5 Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín Moana 2 is visually stunning, has a pace that never lets up, the songs come at the right time, and has tender moments...[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/4 Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Peter Martin EverythingButHorror.com It's difficult to discern any creative or story-driven purpose behind the sequel. Like a high-priced DTV release, Moana 2 is all tarted up for no good reason except Disney's bottom line, and has precious little to recommend for adult viewers.

Kailey K This sequel was very well written and the music was fantastic! With surprises and unexpected events with not just moana but the other characters as someone who has loved Disney since I was and child; this movie definitely had some surprises you would expect. Especially with the bat lady(Matangi). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Erika What makes Moana 2 so special is how well it balances action, emotion, and humor. There are moments of high-stakes adventure that keep you on the edge of your seat, but also quiet, introspective scenes that show just how much Moana has grown. The film respects the themes of Polynesian culture while creating a universal story about courage, leadership, and self-discovery. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Emma Best movie I’ve ever seen Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Sean Very good, 4 year old loved it! First one was better but still worth the watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Ryan S Absolutely fantastic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Craig D The movie felt disjointed. I didn’t leave the theater with a single song stuck in my head either. Disappointed by this sequel. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
