Nicole Scherzinger | The Movie My Life

Directed by David G. Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller; Moana 2 offers a new adventure that goes to the far seas of Oceania, into dangerous, long-lost waters.

Returning key cast includes Dwayne Johnson, Auli’i Cravalho, Nicole Scherzinger, Alan Tudyk and Temura Morrison.

My favourite thing about the first Moana movie was the cuteness of baby Moana. Having re-watched it in anticipation of this sequel, I found plenty more to love than I could see at first viewing.

In fact, Moana is now my favourite Disney movie about the adventures of a courageous young lady. Said title used to belong to Brave (2012). That is until I rewatched Brave and Moana last week. I now realise that what I loved about Brave was Merida’s courage and independent spirit. Her super cute and mischievous triplet brothers were also a highlight.

As for Moana, I love everything, including the music, story, and animation. I guess Merida’s courage really resonated with me back in 2012. So much so that it’s near enough all I retained while forgetting about the mother/bear story element, which has proven to be quite forgettable.

Are you looking forward to a brand new Moana adventure?

Rachel House, David Fane, Awhimai Fraser, Hualalai Chung, Rose Matafeo also star.

Moana 2 Release Dates: November 27th 2024 (US); November 29th, 2024 (UK)…

Happy Film Loving,

What I like most about Moana is that it’s a well-told story about a young girl who’s brave, strong and courageous enough to follow her heart.

Set in Ancient Polynesia and starring Auli’i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Jermaine Clement and Nicole Scherzinger; I also like Moana because it scores quite highly on the ‘animated cuteness‘ factor, particularly baby Moana.

Cinderella (2015) remains my favourite Disney movie, in large part because of how much I enjoyed the recent live-action remake.

If I had to choose between Brave (2012) and Moana for the preferred Disney story about the adventures of a courageous young girl, Brave definitely wins. I just found the characters more entertaining, and the story personally more relatable and engaging. Nevertheless, I say watch Moana because it’s good. Who knows, it may actually end up being your favourite.

Happy Film Loving,
