So for those of you that don't know, this was originally a Disney+ show that got stitched together for a theatrical release. It definitely looks like a Disney+ show.

On one hand that doesn't sound promising, but on the other Disney (via Marvel) is exceptionally good at making TV shows that would've done better as movies, so hey maybe they're onto something.

Just because they make a sequel doesn't mean you have to watch it. You and I (and most everyone here on Tildes) are likely not the target audience for this anyways. But my nephew absolutely loves Moana, having watched it hundreds of times at this point, and so he will likely love this one too. And I doubt he's alone in that either.
p.s. Shrek 2 was great. Monsters University was too. Ditto for Incredibles 2. Frozen 2 was actually pretty decent as well. Sequels aren't always crap.
The fact that kids, basically the lowest common denominator of entertainment, don't mind, doesn't mean this is healthy for the overall quality of industry. People don't realize that another sequel...
The fact that kids, basically the lowest common denominator of entertainment, don't mind, doesn't mean this is healthy for the overall quality of industry. People don't realize that another sequel in production means some original project didn't get the funding, some idea got choked out, some creative vision is going to be unrealized.
But where do you draw a line? Sequels bad. But what about movie series? Movies in the same universe? Does every movie should be unique and without continuation? We have sequels that was quite good...
But where do you draw a line?
Sequels bad. But what about movie series? Movies in the same universe? Does every movie should be unique and without continuation?
We have sequels that was quite good like Terminator 2, Matrix 2, Dune 2 etc. etc. Why they suddenly become unhealthy in your opinion?
The line should always be creative intent. The series which is meant to be multi-part work, or a franchise to which an author wants to return to because he has something more to say, are...
The line should always be creative intent. The series which is meant to be multi-part work, or a franchise to which an author wants to return to because he has something more to say, are fundamentally different from cash-grab market-projected boardroom decision style of sequels modern media giants produce nowadays.
This is not a sequel problem, original movies suffer from the same symptoms. For examples, look at Wish.
To add to your point: various Disney classics that people know and love from the 80s and 90s have sequels. Many even have multiple sequels, but those sequels are just not as widely known or...

Toy Story needs to be taken out to the pasture for good, no matter how much my kids love Buzz and Woody. We need to shutter the nostalgia mines and focus on creating new things.
Thelma the Unicorn was a fantastic new IP. It was fresher and more appreciated than Toy Story 4, even though I enjoyed TS4. One whom probably doesn't need a sequel, but more movies in-universe would be welcome, as they did some fantastic world-building.

Why does it matter if they want to see it? I would much rather my nephew watch Moana 2 than some of the absolute garbage he used to watch on YouTube, like unboxing channels that were basically just astroturfing by toy manufacturers.
If you think unboxing videos are just astroturfing to sell merchandise, then I have bad news for you about children's movies... Obligatory Spaceballs scene.

The channel owners themselves are getting paid to shill for products, or they're even the ones making the toys in the first place and obscuring that fact. And YouTube Kids is rife with those kind of channels. It's why I honestly prefer my nephew watching regular YouTube rather than using YouTube Kids.
That's literally the motivation of every single for-profit company, but not all of them market themselves in dishonest/unethical ways by astroturfing (i.e. paying people to pretend to be unbiased,...
That's literally the motivation of every single for-profit company, but not all of them market themselves in dishonest/unethical ways by astroturfing (i.e. paying people to pretend to be unbiased, and recommend their product). So I really don't see them as being the same idea at all.

Awwww yuck..... Considering how awful their fully theatrical releases have been....
Also, silly Maui, roosters don't lay eggs

The 90’s are back if we’re getting movie re-edits of tv spinoffs.
Just no. Not everything needs a sequel. Moana was a tight, well contained musical, and doesn't need to enter the endless churn of sequelitise.

Its not astroturfing, but same idea. Its all profit-motivated in the end.

Alright, its all good. Wasn't really trying to debate the semantics of it.
No worries. I get it... and love Mel Brooks too, so appreciated the reference even if we disagree about it being the same sort of thing. ;)
