Moana 2 has set an impressive 2024 pre-sales ticket record. The highly anticipated animated Disney sequel sees Moana (Aulii Cravalho) and Maui (Dwayne Johnson) teaming up for another musical adventure. Following the critical and commercial success of the first Moana, released in 2015, Moana 2‘s story was originally developed as a Disney+ series. Disney CEO Bob Iger and other executives later made the decision to rework the sequel as a feature-length theatrical movie.
