The Story So Far: Recap of Moana’s First Adventure
Before diving into what will be happening in Moana 2, it is better to recap about journey that brought Moana to where she is now. The original film followed Moana who is the daughter of the chief of Motunui, set out on a daring voyage to save her people.
Along the way she meets Maui, who initially resists to help her but eventually became her ally. Together, they confront monsters, navigate the ocean’s perils and ultimately restore the heart of Te Fiti which was like bringing life back to the islands.
The first Moana film was popular since it shared a good story and also showed Polynesian culture in a colorful and respectful manner. Many people loved it. The new movie has a lot to live up to.
Production Team and Creative Minds of Moana 2
Moana 2 is under the direction of Dana Ledoux Miller, Jason Hand and David G. Derrick Jr., who gives a new take on the sequel. Derrick have years of experience as a storyboard artist and worked on the first Moana film and he has a profound knowledge of Polynesian culture which is a vital element of the story. His participation makes sure that the cultural detail of the piece is preserved as it is while new creative paths are opened.
