Last night, London Mums Magazine’s team of teen and mum reporters were invited by Disney to a special screening of the long-anticipated Moana 2 in London. Eight years after the original film stole our hearts, the legendary heroine returns and Disney’s latest offering proves to be a worthy sequel, brimming with adventure, emotion, and vibrant animation.
The 2016 release of Moana introduced audiences to the fearless Polynesian heroine, Moana, whose daring quest to save her island and discover her true destiny resonated across all ages and genders. The original film became an instant classic, celebrated for its inspiring narrative, heartfelt music, and stunning visuals. Fast forward to 2024, and Moana 2 not only lives up to its predecessor but also expands the story in bold and exciting ways.
