मोआना 2

Moana 2 takes us back to the ocean and gives us another exciting chapter in her journey. The visuals are stunning, the story is okay solid (U'LL LOVED THE LAST 20 MINUTES), and there are plenty of fun, heartwarming moments. But let's be honest-the music just doesn't hit the same way it did in the first movie.

In the original Moana, Lin gave us absolute bangers like "Where You Are" and "You're Welcome." Those songs weren't just good-they were unforgettable. They added so much life to the movie and stuck in your head (in the best way). But in Moana 2, the songs feel... fine? They're okay, but there's no wow factor, no song that makes you want to immediately add it to your playlist (except for Beyond 😉).

Still, it's hard not to miss the kind of music that made the first Moana so special. If you're a fan of the first movie, you'll probably enjoy this one too, but you might find yourself wishing for just one more Lin-Manuel masterpiece to hum along to.
