Moana 2 (2024)

Disney is at its best when it transports you to another world. A world you would much rather be. The ocean calls out to Moana once more to set sail on another adventure and follow her destiny as a wayfinder. The plot may be thin, but ye gods, it's a marvelous feast for the eyes. Moana is such a likeable character and Auliʻi Cravalho is endlessly charming in her performance. This isn't a better movie than Moana by any measure, and the songs here aren't quite as strong or memorable as Lin's contributions to the original, but as a breathtaking visual spectacle full of magic and wonder, it's second to none.
