Everyone I know who saw Moana 2 is pretty pissed (lol) because:
a) The first one was so so good! Opening the sequel on Thanksgiving weekend is presumed by everyone with kids and family in town to be as good as the first or at least having ambitions to be as good as the first

Super interesting. I know a little girl who definitely agrees with your point 2 (as I specifically asked her tonight. Has no interest in any of the music. Which is *wild* given the first).
Makes sense because the movie definitely FELT like a direct to VHS equivalent. Even weirder was the tag on at the end of a third movie.
It has also felt like it got almost no marketing compared to other major releases.
