Moana 2 and Moana 2 Reo Māori reunites Moana and Maui three years later for an expansive new voyage alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced. Moana 2 Reo Māori is bringing back the original cast and crew from Moana Reo Māori to reimagine the sequel into the Indigenous language of Aotearoa New Zealand. Rising musical talent Jaedyn Randell (The Voice, Frozen Reo Māori) is back fresh off her success on The Voice Australia. She reunites with local news legend Piripi Taylor (Lion King Reo Māori) to reprise their beloved characters, Moana and Maui. Returning to Moana 2 Reo Māori are esteemed Māori actors Rachel House (Gramma Tala) and Temuera Morrison (Chief Tui), who will once again bring their iconic roles to life. Awhimai Fraser (Frozen Reo Māori) makes the leap from Arendelle to Motunui to join the Te Reo Māori cast in her role as mysterious new character, Matangi. Moana’s seafaring crew is expanding with both familiar faces and newcomers in this exciting sequel. Songstress Arihia Cassidy (The Lion King Māori and Darwin & Newts) returns to the Matewa Media whānau to portray engineer and shipwright, Loto. Rutene Spooner, recognized for his roles in Frozen Reo Māori and Coco Reo Māori, will play Motunui agriculturalist, Kele. Rounding out Moana’s new crew is actor and influencer Nepia Takuira-Mita (Ahikaaroa) who will play charismatic storyteller, Moni. Directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller, and produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino, “Moana 2” features music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foaʻi, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina. The translations for the film were expertly crafted by Mātanga Reo, Tātere Jeremy MacLeod, Piripi Winiata and Te Uranga Lee Belk. Moana 2 Reo Māori will echo the original film by incorporating the Tairāwhiti dialect throughout. Produced locally in Aotearoa by Matewa Media, Tweedie Waititi (Producer/Director), Chelsea Winstanley and Mia Henry-Teirney (Producers), and Pere Wihongi (Music Director) bring the Reo Māori adaptation to the big screen.
