January 28, 2025 : Moana 2 Killing It
I haven’t watched it yet; but being a big fan of the first one, I’m excited Moana 2 is doing so well theatrically. It recently crossed over the $1B mark in total gross, which granted is an arbitrary threshold, but impressive nonetheless.
The article above mentions Moana 2 is the fourth film from Walt Disney Animation to cross the magical $1 Billion mark (which excludes Pixar movies). Two of the other three on the list wasn’t much of a surprise – Frozen and Frozen 2 – but I didn’t realize the other film was Zootopia.
Much like the first Moana, I was a fan of Zootopia and felt it was underappreciated. Then again, given it’s performance at the Box Office, maybe not. There was a spinoff series in 2022, and a sequel is (finally) coming out later this year. The fact that it took so long to make one, particularly given its box office success, is surprising. Much like Moana, I guess better late than never.
