- Moana 2, directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller, is now exclusively available on Disney+.
- The project shifted from an originally planned series to a theatrical film to better focus the storyline.
- Character development involved multiple script and storyboard revisions, ensuring continuous refinement throughout production.
- Key moments such as Moana’s sacrifice and Maui’s vulnerability in the film’s later acts are highlighted for rewatchability.
The moment where Moana swims down and touches the island, breaking the curse, but in doing so is ultimately given a sacrifice for her people, and to see Maui stripped down to his just bare essences was incredibly powerful.— Jason Hand discussing a pivotal moment in 'Moana 2'.
