Moana 2 Star Auli'i Cravalho Teases Details of Her Characters 'Different' Journey in Disney Sequel

As a dedicated gamer and animation enthusiast, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I heard about the upcoming release of “Moana 2” and Auli’i Cravalho‘s involvement in the project. Eight years have passed since we first fell in love with Moana’s adventurous spirit and the breathtaking world of Polynesian mythology that Disney brought to life.


In an interview with People Magazine, Auli’i Cravalho, famous for bringing Moana to life in the animated film, shared that Moana’s journey in the upcoming sequel, “Moana 2,” will be a new and engaging experience. As audiences are drawn back into the magical realm of Polynesian folklore, Cravalho guarantees a unique and captivating spin on the Disney princess tale.

Cravalho was thrilled to be back in the recording studio as Moana, a character she’s grown very familiar with. However, it seems that this time around, Moana is no longer the young and innocent princess, impulsively embarking on an adventure without considering the consequences. Instead, she’s blossoming into a courageous and mature woman, ready to tackle new challenges head-on. Here’s what Cravalho shared about Moana’s personal growth:

“She’s continuing to develop. She’s going even farther past her comfort zone now… The recording studio is where I feel most at ease, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to revisit this familiar character while taking her on an entirely new path.”

Eight years have passed since the first movie was released, and both Moana and Cravalho have experienced significant development. Regarding the sequel, Disney has shared an engaging preview for “Moana 2.” In this installment, Moana embarks on a new adventure to unexplored waters of Oceania. The risks will be greater, and the secrets more profound, as she delves into the realm of her “wayfinding ancestors.”

Examining Cravalho’s journey from the initial film to its sequel, it’s clear the process was far from simple. The continuation of Moana’s story, the daughter of a village leader, underwent numerous transformations during production. Initially, Disney+ announced plans for a television series featuring the character. However, the project unexpectedly morphed into a cinematic surprise. Cravalho herself expressed her surprise, stating she was unaware of a Moana sequel. Nevertheless, she’s thrilled to join forces with Frozen II and Inside Out 2. She shared this sentiment with People magazine.

“I think we’re in the era of really good sequels, and I’m happy to be a part of it.”

An unexpected turn of events is that Auli’i Cravalho, who was previously known as Moana, has taken on a new role as a charming character in “Mean Girls.” This part has earned her a devoted fanbase. In an open conversation, she shared her experience with fans who recognize her and express enthusiasm. “I thought I would have more privacy since I currently sport a boyish haircut. However, I was mistaken. When I go to Walmart, people greet me with ‘Hi, I adore you in that musical!’ I’m taken aback.”

Cravalho’s flexibility and impact are clearly shown through her role as Moana in the challenging voyage across Oceania. Once more, Dwayne Johnson provides the voice for their loyal demigod companion, Maui.
