Got to see Moana 2 early. Not explaining the circumstances but AMA.
TL;DR it's a complete disaster that bears all the scars of its fucked creative process and being a former TV show. The villains suck, the songs suck and feel even more AI generated than Wish, the dialogue is atrocious and the ending is the most unsatisfying of any recent WDAS movie.
So of course it's going to make a shitzillion dollars.

Who'd you sleep with?
I’ll Mo your Ana pal
Glad it wasn't Jennifer Lee.
Moving a non-main studio Canadian made television series with lower budget to the main screen to dupe audiences into buying because of the brand
There was going to be a 0% chance this was good
On the big screen you can really, really tell. It's not using the Wish artstyle so obviously it doesn't look instant cheap, but the fur textures are poor (Pua looks like an entirely different character) and mouth movements are unconvincing. The trailer shots are cherry picked.

I'm not seeing this in theaters, so spoilers?
Think they are being vague on purpose Mouseketeer
It’s out in a few weeks anyway
How long was the Moana x Maui sex scene?
Fuck it, will spoil.
The film ends with the villains remaining undefeated and swearing revenge. It's a cliffhanger clearly left over from when this was a TV series. Genuinely baffling.
There isn't one, but they get an atrocious duet.
Knew it. But will it bomb? Disney needs a sequel like Moana 2 to bomb.
Trying to force a Moana 3 to have to be made
This company is so dead kek
I saw you on Twitter. You’re just trying to trash this movie as much as possible so that “Wicked” does better.
Moanacels are no match for Wickedstacies
I'd rather watch Wicked. At least I know it's watchable
Actual schizo moment
Does Moana step on anyone?
I have never used Shitter in my life, you moron.
No, but there are numerous gratuitous shots of her feet and she gets shot in the butt on two occasions.
Let's just say the hierarchy of power in my asshole has changed forever.
If you look closely at the trailer you can tell the cutbacks, despite them trying to hide it with action shots and fast cuts.
Those clothes aren't animated anywhere near as well (which is why most of the new clothes designs don't have free hanging elements other than tassles ). The animation is a lot more "snap to pose" rather than the original where it's much more free flowing. Materials are a lot flatter with the background containers looking more like something textured than something weaved and the boat planks lacking the various stains and varying levels of moisture.
I did make a good image comparing it but I lost it. This one shows the difference though, even though the Moana 2 boat is a newer boat (which seems to be anachronistically treated wood because that's easier) you can still see that Moana 1 puts a lot more effort into adding stains, making things less uniform, adding moisture patches (M2's boat is extremely dry for something on the ocean).
Yes. It's really noticeable in motion and on the big screen. Lots of janky TV grade snap to pose animation.
Can't say I'm surprised after the quality of Wish.
The Joker gets raped up the ass.
I feel kind of bad for people who bought into Disney stock at the height of the MCU.
THE MCU IS THE HOTTEST THING GOING IN HOLLYWOOD THERE'S NO WAY DISNEY CAN LOSE BUY, BUY BUY!
Are there any good closeup shots of her feet?
Does anyone else notice that Moana is constantly up in the air waving her feet around? The foot fetishism isn't anywhere near as obvious as Rapunzel, they clearly didn't spend as much time modeling Moana's feet. Yet I still can't help but notice Moana is constantly up in the air wagging her feet around.
Like WAY more than any other Disney character.
What do you like on your pizza?
Pepperoni, nduja sausage, spinach, mozzarella, ham, some combination thereof.
I've always thought she's an underrated footfag character.
How often do they bring up Moana and Maui are back together on an adventure? And are the crew members one-dimensional?
Why the fuck did they make Maui so ugly? He's not marketable at all it's as if they took the Rock and said "okay so what if the Rock was fat and ugly? let's make our character that".
These movies often succeed off the success of merchandise. If I was a kid I would not want to buy a toy of that ugly fuck Maui.

IT'S MOANA AND MAUI. CLASSIC MOANA AND MAUI ADVENTURES, 100 YEARS.
still will make a billion because it's a sequel to a successful franchise
Nothing new here for Disney.
Constantly. The member berry references to Moana 1 are hamfisted, incessant, and serve only to remind you of how much better that film was.
All the same plot beats are repeated too. Drumming in the cave. Coconut pirate attack. Grandma's spirit. Ocean tussles Moana's sister's hair. Maui turns into a shark by mistake. And so on.
Sounds like it didn't even deserve to be made at all. There's probably episodes of The Emperor's New School better than this shit.
Why should we believe you?
Makes no difference to me whether you believe me or not. I'm just here to share some dirt.
Tell us something that wasn't in the trailer, maybe then you will have credibility
No Skudbutt or Crisisbeat Moana Animations yet
Suffering
I don't know what wasn't in the trailers, I haven't parsed every fucking international TV spot. What would you like to know?
Maui gets a song centred around his 'chee hoo' catchphrase and it is appalling, like 'This is the Thanks I Get' level of shittiness. The villain witch sings a song called 'Get Lost' that has such ADD visuals it made me shut my eyes.
No straight men are going to see Wicked. At least Barbie had LiterallyMe and the comedy element to give it wider appeal.
Spinach on a meat lovers sounds disgusting, other than that, based
