The inspiration behind this video:
Moana 2 is the next film coming out of Walt Disney Animation Studios, and it is the start of a worrying trend for Disney's slate of animated films after a disappointment that received 48% on Rotten Tomatoes. Moana 2 will be a follow-up to the smash hit from 2016 Moana, with the release of this upcoming film signaling a change in the company's release plans. This change is most likely a response to their previous movie's failure, and while Moana 2 could be good, it creates a worrying path forward for Disney's animated movies.
For decades, Walt Disney Animation Studios rarely ever made sequels, with The Rescuers Down Under being the only sequel to come out of the studio until 2018's Ralph Breaks the Internet and 2019's Frozen II. After experimenting with these two sequels, the studio went back to making original films, with 2023's Wish being the most recent entry from the studio. However, Wish was a big disappointment, with it only getting 48% on Rotten Tomatoes, with this likely being one of the reasons that Disney has decided to shift their release plans in a big way.
