"Moana 2" became Disney's third $1 billion box office smash of 2024. Set a few years on from her maiden voyage, "Moana 2" saw the now-seasoned wayfinder reuniting with Maui to embark on a new quest in search of a mythical lost island..
While her second adventure had a slightly rocky journey to the big screen — the sequel was originally meant to be a Disney Plus TV series before being reworked into a movie — the finished project proved a big hit. It set a new Thanksgiving box office record and went on to become the third-biggest movie of the year.
