Moana 2 (also known as Vaiana 2 in most of Europe and Oceania 2 in Italy) is an American animated musical fantasy adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. The second installment in the Moana franchise and the sequel to Moana, the film was directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller (all in their feature directorial debuts) and produced by Christina Chen & Yvett Merino. Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson will reprise their roles as Moana and Maui, respectively. Development on Moana 2 originally began in 2020 as a television series for Disney+ before being reworked into a theatrical sequel by February 2024. Shurer was confirmed to return as producer, alongside story artist Derrick as director and writer. Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa'i, the composers and co-songwriters of the first film, return to score and write the songs, while Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear replace Lin-Manuel Miranda as additional songwriters.

Notes[]
- The name 'Moana' is a registered trademark in several continental European countries as well as the name of an Italian pornographic actress. For this reason, the film is marketed as 'Vaiana 2' in the continent, except for English- and Russian-speaking territories, as with the first film.
- Awhimai Fraser, who voices Matangi, had previously voiced Elsa and Dolores Madrigal in the Māori dubs of Frozen and Encanto.
