Rating Summary
A less focused, beat-for-beat rehash of the original, Moana 2 feels overstuffed with dull secondary characters and underdeveloped in nearly every aspect. If you’re not already tired of the “independent girl defies historical norms to embark on a solo adventure” trope, you might still find enjoyment in the vibrant visuals and well-performed—albeit forgettable—music.
