Moana 2 Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Moana 2!

Moana was a pretty big hit when it came out in 2016, but it became even more popular when it hit Disney Plus, becoming the most streamed movie on their platform. Naturally Disney wanted more- this time in the form of a streaming series. Wait, no– a movie! Yeah, a movie.

Moana 2 does raise some questions. Like why does this feel like it should have been a TV show? Why are there so many new characters that don’t do anything? What’s up with that bat lady just suddenly not being evil? What are Moana’s powers now?

To answer all these questions and more, step inside Ryan George’s Pitch Meeting for Moana 2!

Changing a tv show into a movie after it was finished is TIGHT!!!

“Need some new super catchy songs?”
“I didn’t say that.” Is sooo accurate 😂

[dropboxmoabit]

"Wow, I wonder if Moana from the Moana movies is permanently dead!"

Thank you for this.

'Ending up inside a giant clam is tight' - that line totally slayed me. 😂

"So Moana dived into the water and then lightning strikes her and she dies!"
"Lighting goes under water now?"
"i guess so"

"He gets his powers back."
"How?"
"By getting his powers back."

Watching a Pitch Meeting for a movie sequel that was actually three episodes of a canned Disney Plus original series based on an original movie that’s getting a live action adaptation and a third installment in the animated movie series is TIGHT!

Amazing how Ryan manages to keep these pitch meetings funny and fresh even though he's been doing them for years.

0:22 so now Producer Guy can tell his niece and nephew to get the way off his back

The music in the first was all catchy tunes, How far I'll go, You're Welcome, Shiny etc, Lin-Manuel Miranda is a legend... who they couldn't get back to work on the second and it shows. Can't remember a single song from it.

The fact that Moana 2 was originally meant to be a TV show is giving me flashbacks to those Disney direct-to-video "movies" that have three episodes in them. Belle's Magical World, Atlantis: Milo's Return, etc.

0:31 - "With some new super catchy songs?" "I didn't say that." "Okay, good!" LOL, so accurate.

[everdash]

2:37 "ENDING UP INSIDE A GIANT CLAM IS TIGHT!"
muhGOD..."

[BigBoss]

Saw this movie on a weekday afternoon not long after it released.
By dinner time, I couldn't remember a single song, plot point, etc. LOL

0:13 Oh hey, it's that thing they did for Atlantis 2 which was supposed to be a TV show but was never aired so they smashed the episodes together and called it a movie.

[RS-bipc]

I'm surprised there was no mention of the fact that Maui is the one who pulled up the islands from the ocean in the first place as mentioned in the first movie. Almost makes it seem as if he could have resolved the whole situation by himself.

[Dwdp]

I love the coin-flip on whether it'll be Producer Guy, Screenwriter Guy, or both who go completely unhinged.

[lilyanna]

I need more pitch meetings in my life.

[highspeeed]

He’s GOT to do Gladiator 2, it’s perfect for this!

[Jonathan_Collins]

The first Moana movie was soo good but I wasn't expecting a sequel since it felt complete... And soon a live-action remake? Disney's creativity in a nutshell.
