In the new animated sequel, which picks up the story three years later, Auli’i Cravalho reprises her voice role as the title character with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson returning as Maui. The songs are by Unofficial Bridgerton Musical creators Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear.

The Disney musical sequel “Moana 2” is, like David Lynch’s surreal adult masterpiece “Mulholland Drive” before it, a repurposing of material originally intended for the small screen.
