I recently watched "Moana 2" and would give it a solid 10/10. While sequels often don't live up to the originals, this one did a great job, especially in showing the emotional bond between Moana and her younger sister, Simea. That relationship really stood out as Moana returned home after her adventures.
The animation was stunning, and the voice performances by Auliʻi Cravalho (Moana) and Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda (Simea) were captivating. However, the new songs by Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear didn't quite match the memorable quality of the original soundtrack by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Some critics have noted that the new songs lack the catchy and meaningful tunes that made the first film's music iconic.

Despite this, the film's visuals and storytelling make it a worthwhile experience. I look forward to watching it again once a high-definition copy is available.
