Dive into the Enchanting World of Moana: A Sneak Peek at the Sequel's New Song

Here we go again, folks! Grab your leis and brace yourselves, because Moana is making her grand return in Moana 2, and this time, she’s taking the ocean with her. Set to hit theaters this fall, the excitement is practically bubbling over like a pot of overcooked poi. And oh, did I mention there’s a new sneak peek that dropped on September 26? Just when we thought we’d heard the last from our favorite wayfinder, she’s back with a song that practically screams “let’s do this!”

Picture it: an older, wiser Moana, navigating the complexities of life, love, and the vast, unpredictable ocean. “The ancestors called on me to reconnect our people across the entire ocean,” she says, glancing toward the horizon while scenes of her past adventures flash by, because what’s a sequel without a little nostalgia? “It’s my job as Wayfinder to finish what has started. It will be harder than anything we have faced before.” Sound familiar? It’s the emotional journey we never knew we needed!

And then comes the icing on the cake—a passionate, anthemic tune titled “We’re Back,” where Moana belts out, “Oh, finally, we’re back/ To who we’re meant to be.” Honestly, if that doesn’t give you chills, you might want to check your pulse or at least your spirit level. This track is so catchy it could reel in the fish for dinner!

In this new chapter, Moana, with the vibrant voice of Auli‘i Cravalho, reunites with everyone’s favorite demigod, Dwayne Johnson as Maui, for a fresh adventure alongside a quirky new crew. Because let’s face it, every good hero needs a band of merry misfits, right? According to the film’s description, “After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.” Hold onto your paddles, ladies and gentlemen—this sounds like a wild ride!

But wait, there’s more! The voice cast is a delightful mix of familiar faces: Rachel House returns as Gramma Tala, Temuera Morrison as Chief Tui, and Nicole Scherzinger making her glorious comeback as Sina. And let’s not forget the new crew members adding a sprinkle of fun—Hualālai Chung, David Fane, and Rose Matafeo stepping in as Moni, Kele, and Loto, respectively. Not to be overlooked, Awhimai Fraser will lend her voice to the enigmatic Matangi, Gerald Ramsey joins as Moana’s ancestor Tautai Vasa, and let’s just take a moment to appreciate the cuteness overload that is Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda as Moana’s little sister, Simea.

So mark your calendars, folks! Moana 2 is set to grace the big screens on November 27, and if the preview is anything to go by, we’re in for a treat that’s as delightful as a perfectly ripe mango. Grab your popcorn; this adventure is one you won’t want to miss!
