and Moana 2 It came to 4K and Blu-ray on March 18th, and the filmmakers behind the epic sequel, which came on Disney + hit on March 12th, sat down to see the new titles of our favorite Voyager.
IO9 spends the day at Walt Disney Animation Studio and get a behind-the-scenes look Moana 2Participate in a walkthrough of special features included in the home release of the hit theater sequel. From VFX work to the director who takes us through the storyboard of the film’s final act, we learned more about what the film is setting up for Moana’s (auli’i cravalho) future, and about the film it took to get there when the film reached full theatrical features from the Disney+ series.
Directors David G. Derrick Jr. and Jason Hand spoke to IO9 about how the series Ark came together for the film.
Hand said, “The next chapter of Moana’s story, finally [what] We had planned [for the] The series was a story we told [the] Features. But we were able to communicate it in the most effective way on the big screen. ”
moreover Moana It’s what fans want now, and thanks to the success of the film, it could be included on the card. Derrick said he already had a story idea. And obviously, if the audience desires were there, we wanted to keep the door open if we wanted to make more and more. ”
The presentation included seeing how Moana’s sacrifices were painstakingly put together, creating a huge moment when her ancestors really rewarded her when they made her so much different. In our interview, we asked if it was intended to inspire more adventures with Moana and Maui on a more equal plane. “We purposefully set it up,” Derrick said. “But we really wanted to talk about how it felt to be completely in itself and that it felt like we had seen the journey. We saw Moana. [and] Maui changes within [the film]it is intended to do both. ”
The hand emphasized it Moana 2 It was meant to be a new, complete story for the heroine. “In the end, our theme is that you don’t stop choosing who you are and you don’t discover who you are, so that felt very appropriate too. [for] The second film ends with that open question. We know that she has become a demigod. But what exactly does that mean? ”
Moana is Wayfinding Demi-God and is so excited to see her using her magical oars to unite more people. The filmmaker is quiet about the third film, but nerds about seeing Moana in her demigod glory at the theme park and asked if they consulted with future attraction plans based on the events of the Moana 2.
“We worked so hard to complete the film and get to where it is. The fact that there’s a desire for it in the park was incredible,” Derrick said. “We saw the characters from Walkaround, which was very exciting for us to see.”
Her hand was inserted, “Oh, oh oh! She’s going to walk around the park. [in] Flesh and blood. It was really exciting. So the addition that comes from it would have been incredible. ”
An obvious release that changes another game Moana 2 It will appear in the post-credits scene. There, the recently defeated Storm God Naro (Tofiga Fipleai) calls for a meeting between the gods of fury who dealt with Moana and Maui’s heroic ambitions. Matangi (Auhimai Fraser), the goddess of the bat, appears freely now, but he still has to answer Naro. He is shocked when Tamatoa informs him of his presence.
The “shiny” crab god, the fanfave of the first film, is back again vocally by Gemmaine Clement. Clement cameo was always there Moana 2The plan was, but that changed because the story changed.
“We’ve always planned a cameo of Gemine in the story. At some point, you know. [it] Hand shared and explained how it evolved as the villains are ready to continue to challenge Moana and Maui. “At the end, we always wanted to see Naro and really see this antagonist’s face. Yeah, it all came together, but that’s something we’ve been playing with for a long time.”
Derrick explained why he decided to keep bullying the villain after the film’s conclusion. “At one point, we finished before the ending credits, and then we ended up with “Oh, no, let’s finish the incredible best thing about Moana realizing what she’s become. That she’s on this new journey. [and] Let me roll some credits. ”
“Yeah, and then lift it up and set the stage. Let’s look at these characters and laugh a little,” Hand added. “But that Tamatoa Gemine version is very interesting. I sympathize with Naro, just like “Yeah, she basically knows she screwed us up.” It’s very interesting. ”
Moana 2 Disney+ will drop on March 12th. You can also purchase 4K or Blu-ray on March 18th.
