Moana 2 | The Music of Motunui

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ epic animated musical “Moana 2” reunites Moana (voice of Cravalho) and Maui (voice of Johnson) three years later for an expansive new voyage alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced. Directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller, and produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino, “Moana 2” features music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa‘i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina. Jared Bush and Miller are writing the film, which is executive produced by Jennifer Lee, Bush and Johnson.

The film also features returning stars Rachel House (Moana’s Grandma, Tala), Temuera Morrison (Moana’s father, Chief Tui) and Nicole Scherzinger (Moana’s mother, Sina), as well as the voices of Hualālai Chung, David Fane and Rose Matafeo as Moana’s new crew members Moni, Kele and Loto, respectively. Awhimai Fraser voices mysterious new character Matangi; Gerald Ramsey plays Moana’s ancestor, Tautai Vasa; and Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda lends her voice to Moana’s adoring and adorable little sister, Simea.

I’m so SO glad they are still working with Opetaia, his music is so incredible.

The music of Motunui in Moana 2 adds such deep emotion to the film—it's truly beautiful! Disney’s ability to capture traditional culture and music so perfectly is inspiring. Looking ahead, when Tezuka’s copyright expires in 2059, I hope Disney can create a classic 3D animation of Astro Boy. Tezuka’s works have a similar warm sentiment to Disney animations, which is why his title as the "Walt Disney of Asia" feels so fitting. Of course, we’ll need to keep an eye on any potential changes to copyright laws in the meantime!

[justinchavez]

Wow, these songwriters for the new songs in Moana 2 really had a ball at writing the lyrics and captured the spirit of the first movie, just like Lin-Manuel Miranda, but in a whole new way!! 😲🤩🤩🎼🎶🎶🎵🎵🎤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[chaemochi]

im so happy that they're still doing music! that bridgerton musical had some amazing songssss so I trust them fully with the music!

[KennySmash_]

What I love about the soundtrack is that it captures the essence of Moana while having its own unique identity, distinct from the first movie. It brings a fresh vibe to the music, amazing work!

I saw it yesterday and it was amazing!! The music was fun in the moment but I couldn't remember any of them as soon as I left the theater - it's one of those things you have to watch a few times to get them stuck in your head - really well done everyone!!

[AlexDisney]

You guys are absolute amazing. I hope the sequel era won’t be the last for all of us here at Disney animation.
This movie begins a new era for everyone here.

Grew up on original VHS Disney movies but Moana might be my new favorite Disney movie. The songs are so well put together.

That video is amazing, the first movie that I have on CD but the second one, just brings it to a whole another level, I can't wait to listen to Moana 2 on CD so that I can listen to it over and over and over again on my walk.
