Our take
Moana 2 is a PG Disney animated sequel about wayfinding ancestors and dangerous new seas. It is rated PG for action and peril. Storm chases, sea monsters, and temporary death-like moments appear, though humor and reassuring outcomes soften the tone. Best for school-age kids who enjoyed the first film
Uplifting themes
Teamwork, courage, and honoring ancestors drive the ocean adventure Moana leads with bravery while Maui and the new crew learn to work together
Story (may spoil tone)
After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana journeys alongside Maui and a new crew to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she's ever faced.

Talk after watching
