Moana and Maui are hitting the ocean once again. In a surprise move, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the company will release an animated sequel to the 2016 film that will hit theaters Nov. 27. The announcement came during an earnings call in which Iger emphasized that the ship was being righted at Disney’s film and TV divisions several months after he acknowledged the company had done too much too fast in order to feed Disney+, leading to some cases of lower quality projects hitting the marketplace.
“I feel great about where we are with the studio,” Iger said when updating investors on Wednesday.
Dave Derrick Jr., who worked on the original film as a story board artist, will direct the new sequel, which is separate from a live-action remake of Moana starring Dwayne Johnson. Abigail Barlow, Emily Bear, Opetaia Foa’i and Mark Mancina are writing the music.

When 22-year-old singer Amir Kelly was younger, his grandmother always told him that he was royalty. In fact, his name directly translates to "a few things in Hindi and Arabic," including "king," "prince," and "ruler." For the rising La-based pop-r&b crooner - and "self-crowned Blindian," as his Instagram bio says, referring to his half-Black, half-Indian identity - that's been a major driving force behind his musical career. And it's motivated him to help intersectional communities embrace every part of themselves.
Pursuing a métier in music was never just a path for Kelly; it was the path. He's always found solace in songs and compositions and as of late, it seems like those dreams of creating impactful melodies are coming to fruition. But the ride has been anything but smooth, as I - Kelly's former middle school and high school classmate - recently learned when we...
