She embarks on another journey in Oceania, with of course, demigod Maui, by her side.
In the sequel, Moana is older and wiser, and that was an attribute which resonated with Cravalho.
I feel like this film allowed me to tap into parts of myself, said Cravalho.

Aulii Cravalho teases Stay tuned.
Said Bush about taking a stab at a musical part-two, Theres not a lot of sequels to musicals.
We needed to figure out for this movie, what is next for Moana?
It was her trying to understand herself.
There was something inside of her that she wasnt able to be fulfilled.
There was this life out there that she wanted to pursue, but she really loved her island.
How does she put those things together?
So, finding herself was really important.
There is still a lot left for her to discover about herself.
Not addressed at either sit-down today was how the sequel was spawned from its origins as a Disney+ series.
Bush was asked by a fan about the live-action version ofMoana,which also stars Dwayne Johnson as Maui.
That production was delayed asMoana 2was prioritized by Iger.
Bush told fans that he and Ledoux Miller are across both the live-action version and the animated takes.
He hinted that with the live-action version sometimes changes have to be made from the original animated movie.
Its an exciting experience to watch both of these things happen, the writer added while staying mum.
Moana 2opens on Wednesday, Nov. 27.
