So if you didn't already know, Disney is making a live-action remake of Moana with all the same actors. And there's a 85% chance it's just the Rock on a rebound after Black Adam flopped. So yeah, not excited. The Moana TV series though- that sounds awesome.

I’ve come to the stunning realization that Mahasamut and Moana are the same person
•Names both mean “ocean”
•Saved sea turtles
•Love/drawn to the water
•Daddy issues
•Take on leadership roles within community
•Meets a cocky guy w/ buried trauma

So, it was recently revealed that Moana 2 was originally supposed to be a series but for some reasons they decided that they prefer to make a movie. They did give a reason but I forgot it probably because it wasn't anything specific. Many suspect that it was because of how the last movies Disney has made were doing bad and I think that may be the case. (as much as I lowkey enjoyed some of the "bad" movies they released recently lol)
All I can think about when hearing about this is:
Tangled the Series.
Tangled got a show instead of a sequel which was a really good choice. Tangled the series is great and it does a really good job at exploring things such as new character and the old characters.
Tangled the series wasn't the most popular thing Disney has released but they were releasing other really successful movies in the meantime. They didn't need to make it a big thing.
Vaiana 2 may be a way for Disney to get up after many failures. Even if the movie ends up being bad, people will watch it because it's a sequel. People will watch it because they love the old characters, they have an excuse to give it a shot even if it would look bad in the trailers. Unlike with an original story like Wish, where everything is new from the animation to the characters.
I was trying to ask myself if Tangled the Series would work well as a movie and my answer is no. Even if you put it in two movies, I don't think they would be able to capture this story well enough in movies. Especially that something TTS is really good at is building characters with time. For example, they show us few times in season 1 Cassandra failing to make her dreams come true so when she's upset about it in season 2/3 we know what she's talking about without them having to bring up examples every five seconds.
Something the creators of Vaiana said is that because they have less time to develop the new characters they decided to make some of their main traits more visible. For example, make a grumpy character more grumpy so we know they're the grumpy one with less screentime. They said it like it was good thing while it really isn't. I was thinking about Cassandra or Varian from TTS who are really well done characters with deep character arcs. I can't imagine them any other way.
Which makes me wonder, would there be any characters in Vaiana who could be as well done as Cassandra and Varian but won't be because of the lack of screentime? I guess we'll never know.
I think that the fact that Vaiana 2 was supposed to be a series explains why there's so many new things and I guess it explains the trailer? I can't really explain it but the trailer did seem a little like a mix of different adventures, you know... episodes.
I really loved Tangled the Series, getting something like but with Vaiana would make me really happy. But it is what it is.
I just want to say that I am saying that Vaiana 2 will be a bad movie. I really don't like judging movies before they come out, I am here just commenting on the decisions that the creators said they made.
I am not crossing out Vaiana 2 yet, maybe they knew what they were doing. I'm just a seventeen year old with a phone, what do I know?
