The world premiere of Disney’s “Moana 2” sailed to Oahu on Thursday, along with a celebration of Pacific Islander heritage.

In the storyline, three years have passed since Moana’s adventures in the first hit film. “At first she wondered if she could be a wayfinder,” Auli’i Cravalho, who voices the title character, told Reuters.

“By the time we see her again, she’ll be a… master navigator.”

The film also takes Moana on a journey into the future, so she travels “even further beyond,” Cravalho added.

“Moana 2,” directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller, hits theaters on November 27.

In it, Moana receives a sudden call from her ancestors to travel the seas and break the curse of the god Nalo, which prevents the people of different islands from reconnecting.

She must form her own crew and reunite with her friend, the demigod Maui, played by Dwayne Johnson.

“Maui’s journey in ‘Moana 2’ means a few things to me,” Johnson said.

“Number one, legacy and number two, the character Maui is largely inspired by my grandfather who is buried here (Hawaii), so it’s pretty meaningful to me,” he added.

The premiere opened with performances by Hawaiian dancers wearing leis and waving Hawaiian flags.

The film is highly anticipated after Disney’s other 2024 animated sequel, “Inside Out 2,” crossed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office less than three weeks after its release – the fastest animated film to ever reach that level.

The first “Moana” topped the 2016 Thanksgiving box office rankings, earning a whopping $81.1 million during the five-day holiday period.
