I mean…I already watched this movie like 10 years ago. I know what happens already.
OK, Maui is now The Rock in a muscle suit and a wig. But most of the new movie is CGI. The original movie was also animated. Why do I need to watch the new one?
At least with the lion king there was a 25 year gap between the two movies so the target audience would’ve been entirely different generations.
But Moana 2 came out 2 years ago. Anyone who watched it, probably watched the first one beforehand, even if we’re talking about a 5 year old in 2024 who wasn’t around in 2016 - the kid’s parents would’ve probably pirated or streamed it to watch before going to the movies to see Moana 2.
The CinemaSins video on the trailers suggested making a live action remake of Atlantis. That would sell like gangbusters, but Disney has spent the last 20 years pretending it didn’t exist

Also, The Rock’s acting in the trailers looked… stiff as a rock
But seriously, he doesn’t have the charisma of the original Maui
Which is funny because he voiced the original Maui too. I guess the animators did a lot of work to sell his voice acting.
Honestly I didn’t even realize it had been that long till you said it.
10 years is still to early for a “live action” (even though it’s basically just animation) remake.
They would have made more money doing frozen
