‘Moana’ made waves when it came out in 2016, and the sequel is sure to do the same! With the teaser trailer being released recently, here is everything fans need to know about ‘Moana 2′.

Plot

Moana told the story about Moana and her town which was cursed when the demigod, Maui, disturbed the goddess Te Fiti.
