In what would be the usual time when all will say that a sequel will be terrible and lose the illustrious profile of a memorable character, or worse, the whole studio or company, Moana in her second movie with other prolific characters would prove some wrong! One can say that in the movie would be a little bit of what Polynesian mythology would have, it seems to act on the beliefs that a demigod (Maui) is responsible for bringing the islands from the seaflor so the people can have more room to live. It is a good thing to think about at it can be a situation that we all are going to face someday as the population is climbing and climbing to near 10 billion in the world, and it may be cresting and will go down-it would be no farther than 12 billion that the world population will go down, but the decreasing population is already happening in some countries like China. I digress though as in terms of culture for the Pacific Islanders including those in more populous Philippines, volcanoes are a part of life despite that they are dangerous when erupting. However, if it is that more people are in a place, they will need more land for farming, living and even business-something that the movie is showing. Do remember, there is such thing as OVERpopulation, and at the beginning, you will see that.
It is a little bit of a mystery of how demigod Maui got stuck, but of course when the group does try to fin him, it is assumed, however, it would have been good to know how that happened. Though, if you do have an inquisizive mind, you will have to see that there is an underlying moral in this movie, and it is very useful on how Moana is-she does focus on one idea, and would expect to have via a fight in her world what can be solved or what she can obtain-life is not that way all the time. As we have seen in this movie, especially when we will see then, a DOUBLE AGENT that does seem to be an enemy to Maui, but a friend to Moana (BUT STAY TUNED WHEN THE CREDITS START-THERE IS MORE OF THAT DOUBLE AGENT!), it's not always that way. As it always is that life does have its curveballs, if there is a plan of goal that can be attained-even if one is in danger, there should be a backup, and even try to ride the wave and think fast in the unexpected, as there is the song, "Get Lost"-if you would think of this, try watching MacGuyver-he's the perfect example of adapting to quick thinking and improvising!
Too, even if one does become a mentor and bring up one to be better at what they do, sometimes, it is THE ONE MENTORED THAT HAS TO HELP THE MENTOR. Everyone has a weakness and times when they have to give up no matter what their stature. As we have seen from Moana (1), she helped Maui do what he does, BUT IN THIS ONE, MAUI MENTORS HER. So if it is that you have in a job a boss that is in trouble, but you aren't, don't just be doing your own thing and be oblivious-if you have the chance, help your supervisor or manager with advice if you have it from your experiences. Who knows, you can get promoted... something that you would see here.... Like my mother says, everyone needs everyone-it will be hard as there is the notion of Jesus to love your neighbours and enemies, but do try, sometimes the hostile ones can be a very formidable and priceless ally-something that the coconut beings are...
It did make me smile all the way, and there were times of little downtime, but I was entertained throughout. Of course, there's the PG times in the movie, especially the nipple play on Maui (), but too, do pay attention to the little 4th wall breaking or genereation breaking comment of the "butt dial"! As it is that the movie could relate to the condition of the world that is going on, and that it does have good values that are embedded subltly in the storyline, especially the rough battles that were going on, it was a fine movie to watch, and Disney has not disappointed me. It is not an "A"-rated movie, but it has been great to see. I could say that they would have had just a teeny less singing-especially one scene where the singing was not necessary, but the songs were relaxing and some would grow on you. I can put this as deserving of a collection-do note though, it may not be like Frozen as one may expect a third movie, but at the very end, do be ready! I think if Walt Disney Animation Studios does well, then I will get the set! So this would explain then the current ranking of all the Disney Animation Studios theatrical releases that I have watched:
63: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1 star- !PUKE)
62: Treasure Planet (2 stars)
61: Saludos Amigos (1 star, but deserves better.)

59: The Emperor's New Groove
58: Melody Time
57: The Rescuers Down Under (1990 sequel)
56: Meet the Robinsons
55: The Great Mouse Detective
54: Chicken Little
53: Dinosaur (From here it is 3 stars and would likely want to get in my collection.)
52: Fantasia 2000
51: Strange World
50: Lilo & Stitch
49: The Sword in the Stone
48: Fun and Fancy Free

3: Wish
2: Lady and the Tramp
THE BEST ONE: The Lion King
It is rare to see that the sequel did better than the original, but I did like it! And yes, though it is not really signature compared to Moana (1), it is something to build on for what is coming as a multi-part series, as I can feel what can happen would be the ulimate test for Moana as we have seen in the "warm close" (opposite of "cold open" in my way), so it is going to be imperative to watch Moana (1) BEFORE seeing 2. Let's see what will happen to her in the next movie! Fitting that Disney has fished me to follow the Pacific islander's journeys and goals to fulfill! Here's to Moana 3!
