IMDb talks with stars Dwayne Johnson, Auli'i Cravalho, and Hualalai Chung, songwriters Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, writer-director Dana Ledoux Miller, and directors David Derrick Jr. and Jason Hand to learn more about the highly anticipated sequel to Disney's 2016 animated hit. The cast and crew discuss how 'Moana 2' expands on the original while paying homage to fan-favorite characters and details, reveal what it's like to return to characters three years after the events of the first movie, and share their love for past Disney animated characters and songs. Plus, Dwayne Johnson reflects on fans' love for his character Maui and the most frequent request he gets from 'Moana' diehards in real life. And Auli'i Cravalho talks about her go-to fast-food meal and the practical lessons she's learned from touring the world as a Disney star.

Quotes
Moana is such an amazing character. She's brave, she is so empowered, she knows what she wants and she's not afraid to get it, and I think that's something that I can relate to as well. I just love watching how she goes along in this wonderful movie and grows as a person and helps her culture along the way.
