New ‘Moana 2’ TV Spot Teases “We’re Back” Song

Disney has released the newest TV spot for Moana 2, which gives a sneak peek of the newest song: “We’re Back.”

The TV spot sees Moana return to her home island of Motunui from an oceanic voyage. There, she is welcomed by her family, including her little sister who is upset that she took forever to come back — even though it actually took three days.

The TV spot provides plot details as to Moana’s newest quest to answer the call from her ancestors to reconnect her people across the entire ocean. “It’s my job as a way finder to finish what I started,” Moana says hinting at her arc. If the first was about reconnecting with the past, the sequel is about Moana and her people’s future, which is dependent on reconnecting with others across the ocean.

Of course, it will be challenging as Moana and her crew face giant storms, the kakamora, and other forces of nature.

The epic animated musical, which opens in theaters on November 27, 2024, reunites Moana (voice of Auli‘i Cravalho) and Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson) for an expansive new voyage alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced. A new poster is also available.

The voice cast also features returning stars Rachel House (Gramma Tala), Temuera Morrison (Chief Tui) and Nicole Scherzinger (Sina), as well as Hualālai Chung, David Fane and Rose Matafeo as Moana’s new crew members Moni, Kele and Loto, respectively. Awhimai Fraser voices mysterious new character Matangi; Gerald Ramsey plays Moana’s ancestor, Tautai Vasa; and Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda lends her voice to Moana’s adoring and adorable little sister, Simea.

Directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller, and produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino, Moana 2 features music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa‘i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina. Jared Bush and Miller are writing the film, which is executive produced by Jennifer Lee, Bush and Johnson.
