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.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

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

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]

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.

Strange concepts to expose an underage audience to. Music was lacking compared to the first.

This movie was terrible. It hammers one over the head with multiple mind numbing action scenes and the most tedious and forgettable songs. Note to Disney - less is more! I think Disney is losing it's ability to make nice unforgettable animated films. This movie was one big bore. I can't believe now they're doing a live action movie of Moana. Give it a rest!

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
