Fans expressed their mixed reactions to the trailer, with some eagerly anticipating the new installment while others questioned the necessity of a sequel. Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson will reprise their roles as the voices of Moana and Maui, adding to the excitement surrounding the film.
Although the trailer did not reveal much about the plot, Disney has teased a thrilling new journey for Moana and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers. The film promises to take audiences on an expansive voyage with captivating music and endearing characters.
As fans eagerly await the release of Moana 2, some have expressed their hopes for iconic songs and a compelling story, while others remain cautiously optimistic about the sequel.
