Disney's animated film Moana is loved by kids everywhere. With its catchy songs, exciting adventures, and lovable characters, it's no wonder so many families adore it. Now, the long wait is over—Moana 2 is finally coming out to theaters on Wednesday!
Parents may wonder if the sequel is just as magical and if it's suitable for their little ones. This guide will answer your questions about the movie.
Who Is Moana?
Moana is a brave Polynesian girl who lives on an island called Motunui, a fictional island in the South Pacific. The first film's plot revolves around Moana's journey to save her island from an environmental catastrophe that leaves their food sources barren. She must sail across the sea and team up with the demigod Maui to return the heart of Te Fiti, a stolen magical stone, to its rightful place.
The film emphasizes identity and self-discovery when Moana struggles with balancing her duties as her tribe's future chief and her desire to explore the ocean.
What Is Moana 2 About?
In the sequel, Moana is now the leader of her people. The second film takes place three years after the events of the first movie and will see Moana embark on another epic journey on the ocean to answer the calls of her ancestors and determine whether there are people living beyond the shores of Motonui.
Moana will work together with Maui to assemble a crew of unlikely seafarers for their journey. The movie will show sea monsters and lost civilizations along the way.
Is Moana 2 Suitable for Children?
Yes, Moana 2 is perfect for kids! Like the first movie, the second film is rated PG. That said, there will be some action scenes in the third act that could become a bit too intense for younger children. However, the overall movie still promotes bravery, teamwork, and taking care of others.
There is no overtly inappropriate content in the second film. Despite the fair deal of action, nothing will be violent, only reactive, according to Screen Rant. The film will also feature plenty of songs that young audiences can enjoy.
