Biggest Walt Disney Animation Studio premiere since Encanto third-largest animated theatrical premiere of all time!

Moana 2 continues to make waves, garnering 27.3 million views globally on Disney+ in its first five days of streaming. This marks the biggest Walt Disney Animation Studios premiere since Encanto (2021) and the third-largest animated theatrical premiere of all time on Disney+.

The original Moana has now surpassed 1.4 billion hours streamed on Disney+ – that’s like streaming the film over 735 million times or playing How Far I’ll Go on repeat for more than 50,000 years. In the lead-up to Moana 2, 2024 marked Moana’s most-streamed year ever (based on Nielsen Streaming Content Ratings in the US) and it’s been the most streamed film on Disney+ since the platform’s debut in 2019.

Moana 2 first set sail at the global box office with the highest opening in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ history. Certified-Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes™, the film’s momentum only grew from there, ultimately surpassing $1 billion worldwide to become the third highest-grossing Walt Disney Animation Studios release of all time.

THOUGHTS

In our THREE-STAR review, Thomas said:

Moana 2 isn’t able to reach the emotional heights of the original. The story is rushed and feels like a setup for the next adventure rather than being its own thing. However, it’s still an entertaining adventure with catchy new songs and stunning animation.
