LA (AP) – The warm Polynesian spirit and open-sea sense of adventure is back in “Moana 2,” but little of the original’s humor or catchy songs finds its way into this heartfelt but lackluster sequel set three years after the original. Directors David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller have made an often dazzlingly animated film that is visually a step up from 2016’s “Moana.” However, the new story, with a boatload of new characters, leaves viewers feeling that the sequel got caught in the crosswinds, unable to find its own path.
LA – The warm Polynesian spirit and open-sea sense of adventure is back in “ Moana 2 ,” but little of the original’s humor or catchy songs finds its way into this heartfelt but lackluster sequel set three years after the original.
But in a story that brings in a literal boatload of new characters, it’s hard to shake the feeling that “Moana 2” got caught in the crosswinds — too blown between shifting studio imperatives to really find its own way. Photorealistic remakes have been the more dominant providence of the Magic Kingdom in recent years, a trend that’s made more whimsical, imagination-filled animations like “Moana” all the more exceptional. Here was a movie that somehow balanced Pacific Island cultural authenticity with the cartoony delights of a demigod turned accidental shark and Jemaine Clement as a singing, flaunting giant crab. Talk about win win.
