Moana 2‘s streaming release date on Disney+ has been confirmed. A sequel to 2016’s Moana, Disney’s animated sequel is set three years later, following the titular character as she reunites with the demigod Maui and gathers a wayfinding crew to locate the lost island of Motufetu, lift its curse, and restore the bond between the ocean’s people. Moana 2‘s voice cast includes Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson reprising their roles alongside Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Temuera Morrison, and many more.
Now, three months after its theatrical release, the sequel’s streaming release date has been confirmed. Announced directly by Disney, Moana 2 will be available to stream on Disney+ on March 12.

What Moana 2’s Streaming Release Date Means For The Movie
It’s Sure To Be A Success
As a massive critical and commercial hit, Moana 2’s success is sure to carry over to streaming on Disney. The sequel was released in theaters on November 27 and went on to make just over $1 billion at the box office against its $150 million budget, becoming the third highest-grossing movie of 2024, behind Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine and Pixar’s sequel Inside Out 2, which are both also under the Disney umbrella. Moana 2 also notably outgrossed its predecessor, which made just over $687 million.

Moana 2 has also been a modest hit among critics. Though Moana 2‘s reviews are somewhat mixed, critics praised the sequel for its breathtaking animation which renders it an enjoyable and vibrant adventure even though its story sometimes loses direction, and it may not be as inspired as the original. Moana 2 was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Golden Globes, though it was shut out of the same category at the upcoming Academy Awards in place of Inside Out 2 and others.
