The 2018 original Moana movie featured music written by Lin-Manuel Miranda (who also worked on the music for Encanto ). In addition to the movie's anthem "How Far I'll Go" there were also a number of other bangers in the soundtrack like "Where You Are" and Maui's song "You're Welcome." Unfortunately, the music for the sequel is far weaker.

With 'Moana 2' coming out in theaters on November 27, fans may be curious to know if playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the songs like he did for 'Moana.'

Now fans are highly anticipating the release of Moana 2, where she will be called by her wayfinding ancestors to break the god Nalo's curse on the hidden island of Motufetu. The new movie is set to hit the 2024 movie calendar on November 27,

"Moana 2" is an okay movie, an above-average kiddie roller-coaster, and a piece of pure product in a way that the first "Moana," at its best, transcended.
