Moana may have faced the sea virtually alone in Moana – at least until she dragged Maui with her – but that’s not the case in Disney’s latest sequel.

In “Moana 2” our orientation hero goes on another journey. This time she is asked by the ancestors to find an island hidden by a god, specifically with the intention of cutting off other island peoples from each other.
