Moana 2, watched by 190,000 people on the first day of release
Go on an adventure to find a lost island under the sea
The visuals are great, but the subject matter is less remarkable.
“The whole ocean is counting on us!”
‘Moana’, who has dark skin and long curly hair, comforts her colleagues. Not being afraid of rough waves and storms. Moana does not give in to being attacked by Kakamora, a cute fairy who looks like cocoa, and nalo, the vicious and violent storm god. “Ancestors lead the way. “The sea connects us to our ancestors,” he boasts while driving the boat. Will Moana be able to overcome all hardships with her colleagues and find the secret island that connects the islands?
‘Sea Girl’ Moana returned after 8 years. ‘Moana 2’ was released on the 27th.The previous film, ‘Moana’, released in 2016, featured an autonomous Polynesian female protagonist who finds her own path rather than a prince to marry, and attracted 2.31 million viewers in Korea. ‘Moana 2’ was viewed by 190,000 people on the first day of its domestic release and went straight to first place at the box office.

However, while the previous work focused on Moana’s journey with Maui, the new work shows Moana taking care of her other colleagues. It emphasizes the appearance of a female leader who comforts her colleagues from her home island, such as the grumpy old farmer ‘Kele’, the smart flight attendant ‘Loto’, and Maui’s fan ‘Moni’. American actor Aulij Cruvalho, who played the voice of Moana, said, “moana is a character who tests her own limits and at the same time worries deeply about her family and community.”
The charm of the new work is that it depicts the sea beautifully and realistically. The sight of a ship crossing the Pacific Ocean with sunlight shining brightly and foam sparkling has evolved from the previous film.
