The filmmakers behind Moana 2 have explained the impact of retooling a Disney+ TV show into a feature film sequel. On February 7, 2024, Disney shocked everyone with the announcement of Moana 2, especially when they revealed it would be opening in theaters on Thanksgiving weekend this year. Disney was able to pull this shocking reveal off as it was later reported that Moana 2 was reworked from the planned Moana Disney+ series that was first announced at Disney Investor Day in December 2020.
