Disney announced today that Mark Mancina & Opetaia Foa’i will return to compose the music for the upcoming animated musical Moana 2. They are joined by Grammy Award winners Emily Bear & Abigail Barlow (Bridgerton: The Musical) who are also contributing music to the film, which is directed by Dave Derrick Jr. and follows the title character who – after receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors – must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced. Mancina (Twister, Tarzan, Brother Bear, Bad Boys, The Sea Beast) has previously scored the original 2016 movie, which featured original songs composed by himself, Opetaia Foa’i & Lin-Manuel Miranda. Moana 2 will be released in theaters on November 27, 2024 by Walt Disney Pictures.
