Here's how to watch Moana 2 at home now
After nearly 10 years, Moana is back and braver than ever. 'She's exactly the heroine you want every kid to look up to: self-empowered but tender-hearted,' wrote The Independent 's chief film critic Clarisse Loughrey in her review of the film. Auli'i Cravalho returns as Moana, with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson reprising his role as the mischievous Maui.
The 2016 musical won hearts worldwide with its stunning visuals, catchy songs, and bold message on protecting our planet. While Lin-Manuel Miranda isn't composing this time, he was 'thrilled' with the all-female duo Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear's take on the new film.
For more action, ocean, and emotion, here's how to watch Moana 2 at home.
When did Moana 2 come out on Disney+?
Moana 2 premiered on Disney+ on 12 March, so you can watch it right now at home.
If you haven't already, now is a great time to sign up for the streaming service and enjoy all the action, drama and fun the site has to offer. It's not just for little kids but for big ones too. Disney+ is the first to stream all the newest Hulu and Star TV shows, including Golden Globe -winning shows like The Bear, Abbot Elementary, Only Murders in the Building and so many more. It also gets early access to all the Marvel content, both the blockbuster films and the shiny new shows.
What is Moana 2 about?
Following on three years after the first movie we find Moana (Cravalho) exploring nearby islands from her home of Motunui. In a vision, she hears her ancestors speaking to her, calling her to a new quest. She must find a way to rediscover the lost island of Motu Fetu in order to defeat the storm god Nalo and protect her people from extinction. So Moana, brave as ever, builds a crew and heads out into the open ocean to begin her next adventure, and it's safe to say she encounters a bump or two along the way.
Loughrey writes in her review of the world Disney has created in this film: 'She [Moana] inhabits a world of Polynesian myth that feels rich and deep-rooted, not a culture merely slapped on as costume, and benefiting from Polynesian talent across its voice cast and behind the scenes.' With a stunning 'pearlescent' animation style of shimmering pink hues, we think this sounds like a film that needs to be seen to be believed.

Fans slam 'woke' Disney after noticing MAJOR characters missing from Toy Story 5 preview
Disney and Pixar fans have been left in a panic after they noticed some major characters missing from an alleged new look at Toy Story 5. Pixar first confirmed that a fifth installment to the beloved film series was in the works back in 2023. Now, a new image believed to be a still from the upcoming movie has made its way around the web. And while many were excited about the glimpse into the flick, others were not happy that some of the original toys weren't included in it. The snap showed Jessie standing on a bed and facing a group of toys, which included a slew of Bonnie's playmates like Mr. Pricklepants, Trixie, Dolly, and Buttercup. Some of the playthings that she got from Andy were also there, like Hamm the Pig, Rex, and a bunch of the alien toys. But many of the original squad members from the beloved movies were missing, and fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to discuss their absence in droves. Buzz and Woody were both absent from the photo, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head and Slinky Dog. It was the latter that really caused a stir, as it's already been confirmed that Buzz and Woody will be back for Toy Story 5. Many began to worry that the adorable couple and mischievous slinky would not be in the fifth movie at all, and were quick to slam the animation studio - which was acquired by Disney in 2006 - over the potential cut. 'WHAT HAPPENED TO MR. AND MRS. POTATO HEAD?' one frantic fan asked. 'What happened to the Potato Heads and Slinky Dog?' questioned another. 'Where's Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head?' a different worried X user wondered. 'NO POTATO HEADS THIS IS TERRIBLE,' yelled someone else. Many people theorized that Pixar may have 'retired' the characters since their voice actors have passed away. Don Rickles, who played Mr. Potato Head, died in 2017, while Estelle Harris, who voiced his wife, passed in 2022. 'So did they just retire Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head due to their voice actors having passed away?' read a fifth tweet. 'Their voice actors died, and I guess they didn't want to recast?' a sixth said. 'Actors died so Pixar decided to retire their characters,' theorized another user. 'The Potatoes were beloved, but they were never necessary for the plot.' Disney has taken numerous strides to become more inclusive in recent years - from amending policies at its theme parks to stop staff from using gendered greetings to removing offensive imagery from rides and movies. Most notable is when they removed the seven dwarves during their live-action remake of Snow White, replacing them with 'magical creatures' instead. All of the changes have resulted in Disney earning a reputation for being 'woke,' and some people wondered if Mr. and Mrs. Potato head had been removed for 'woke' reasons. 'We can't even have the Potato Heads back because of woke,' one wrote. 'More woke trash swapping,' scathed another. Many people theorized that Pixar may have 'retired' the characters since their voice actors have passed away Others pointed out that not every character is featured in the new photo so it's still possible that they could still be in the film The fifth installment to the Toy Story series will follow your favorite group of toys facing a new challenge after their eight-year-old owner Bonnie gets an electronic tablet called Lillypad Others, however, pointed out that not every character is featured in the new photo so it's still possible that they could still be in the film. 'Mind you half the cast isn't in this shot so chill,' someone else replied, while another added, 'Obviously not every toy is in that picture.' The fifth installment to the Toy Story series - which will hit theaters on June 19, 2026 - will follow your favorite group of toys facing a new challenge after their eight-year-old owner Bonnie gets an electronic tablet called Lillypad. Toy Story veterans Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cussack - who played Woody, Buzz, and Jessie respectively in the first four flicks - have all confirmed their return. The ending of the fourth Toy Story movie left many people heartbroken as Woody decided to part ways with his longtime pals to stay with his love Bo Peep. But Tim previously told WIVB that Woody will reunite with his character, Buzz, in the new film. He added, however, that the fifth movie will focus a lot more on Jessie. 'I can tell you that it's a lot about Jessie,' he said. 'Tom and I do - Woody and I - do realign.
