Revenue exceeded one billion dollars .. “Moana 2” is an entertaining experience for children and adults art
Two months of showing and revenues exceeding one billion dollars, and the movie “Moana 2” is still able to compete with merits for the rest of the films in different categories and even those produced by the studio itself.
Nevertheless, his artistic reviews came in moderate amid the disappointment of his fans from the adults, although the work cannot be considered a new failure added to the Disney record, during which she tried to revive old works in order to pump the kiss of life with box office.
In 2016, the first part of “Moana” was released, the film achieved overwhelming artistic and material successes, and everyone praised its content, mission and visual experience. While the studio was supposed to complete the story through a series presented by the “Disney Plus” platform, those in charge of the work suddenly retreated and it was converted into a movie to reap more dollars and pave the way for other parts.
Which affected the quality of the work, so it came to the fast, burning and urgent sketches without logical or convincing explanations. Emotionally with him.

Repeated conflicts
Just like the first part, Moana decides to take a new naval adventure for her clan, goes to face fate with courage and some recklessness, so her way with Maoi – her former ally – intersects and then challenges to achieve the desired goal.
This frequent repetition and reproduction of events and even trying to simulate songs causes frustration of all those who wished to see something new, especially from adults.
In contrast to the original work, where the characters developed and they have been clearly mature, the heroes did not crave more awareness or are fighting more profound conflicts, until the personality of the villain came vague motives and identity, so the viewers did not relate to them as much as they related to secondary figures from the villagers who joined Muwana On her journey, they added to the story some of the fresh fun and blood.
It is the opposite of what was presented in the second part of the movie “Insidout”, which was shown in 2024 and surprised many, as we witnessed his heroine for a new age stage and its creative challenges, which liked the obsessed with the old work and is also suitable for their age, confirming that Disney was facilitated with ” Moana 2 “in terms of good preparation for the plot and refining the artistic work elements.
Just entertaining songs
One of the most important elements of the success of “Moana” is the strong songs that are difficult to forget, and despite insisting on the matching of the majority of the elements, the songs here did not exceed the limits of entertainment, which can be returned for several reasons, on top Writing songs to both Abeel Barlo and Emily Bir, who succeededDim songs may be appropriate for the story shown on the screen, but it is not emotional enough to leave a special impression.

Victory of identity and narrative narration
Despite the aforementioned defects, the work message remains one of its strengths and its most important privileges, especially as it addresses the young as it aims to withdraw them away from the world of Tekk Tok, social media platforms and traditional animation stories and put them in a different world in shape and subject, a world that respects the history of the ancestors and is keen to transmit stories as it is A cultural practice that maintains identity and keeps the roots extended to the ground, which is unable to uproot it.

“Moanna 2” is an ideal choice for those looking for a nice movie inspired by Disney classics. However, it does not meet the expectations of those who want to work as an original work that touches the hearts deeper, which makes it, most likely, to children only, unlike the first part. In light of the end of the film, its makers appear to be planning to present new parts that include additional adventures.
The film was directed by 3 directors: Jason Hand, Dana Lidox Miller, and David Ji Derek Junior, who have never been directed by any long feature work. Although it was their first experience, the work was visual impressive, as visual and sound techniques were distinctively exploited, adding special pleasure to those who saw it via the iMax or 4D screens.
In the field of authorship, Dana Lidox Miller, Garid Bush and Bick Smith participated in it, while the audio performance was presented by Caravalo, Dwayne Johnson, Richel House, Timora Morrison, Nicole Sherzinger, and Calissi Lambert Tsuda.
