Moana 2

8 years after the original, Disney has released a sequel to the hit film Moana. Moana 2 follows our titular character on another adventure across the sea, but this time accompanied with a group of quirky characters from her village. Like the first, Moana 2 embraces and highlights the beauty of Polynesian culture. The visuals and soundtrack were amazing and immersive, the storyline was entertaining and easy to follow with fun new characters, but also has callbacks to the first film. This film is more than just a kids movie, it explores themes of family sacrifice, the weight of responsibility as an older sibling, and the ultimate act of selflessness in the face of adversity which give the film an emotional touch and depth to be felt by the older and younger audiences alike. An overall feel good film and a great watch for any Disney fan!
