Moana 2 + Is Disney Getting Better or Worse?

Pause

8 years after the first movie, Moana 2 is hitting the big screen, and sees our heroine reunited with some familiar faces, while fighting new foes. With Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson reprise their roles as Moana and Maui respectively, this was a movie that was originally conceived as a limited series - so how does it fare as a feature film? We discuss that, before continuing to ask a larger question about Disney, and whether its golden age has passed, or is yet to come, before closing out with a deep dive into the music of the Moanaverse.
