Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Disney's 'Moana 2' has garnered mixed reviews ahead of its release, with praise for its animation and returning characters. Critics note it's engaging but lacks the humor and memorable music of the 2016 original. While some reviewers highlight its visual beauty, others criticize it for being formulaic and emotionally lacking. The sequel follows Moana on a quest three years later, but some argue new characters dilute the narrative. Despite the criticisms, box office predictions suggest a successful Thanksgiving weekend following its release alongside major films.
