The film is directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller, with producers Christina Chen and Yvett Merino. It features Auli‘i Cravalho as Moana and Dwayne Johnson as Maui, along with cast members Rachel House, Temuera Morrison, and Nicole Scherzinger returning in their roles.
Variety is reporting that after just five days on Disney+, “Moana 2″ became the third-largest animated release on the platform, drawing 27.3 million views.
