What are you even taking about? Pop music songwriters contribute to or write musicals all the time. Examples: Cyndi Lauper who won every award around for Kinky Boots. Billie Eilish, who is winning every award around for her contribution to Barbie. As to Moana, these people are not exactly chopped liver: Music by Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina.So the only project the songwriters worked on was a fake Bridgerton Musical for TikTok ?!? That doesn't sound inspiring, and here I thought you can't get any lower than getting a pop music songwriter.
Well, Mando's getting a movie, right?Makes you wonder if the Tiana series might be reworked into a standalone theatrical sequel.
As much as I love Princess and the Frog, it's not a popular IP (unlike Moana which is the most watched movie on any streaming platform), I don't see a theatrical sequel becoming a success.Makes you wonder if the Tiana series might be reworked into a standalone theatrical sequel.

The odds of that are approximately three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one.Hopefully, we all come away pleasantly surprised. Maybe this will end up like Toy Story 2, which was originally meant to be direct-to-VHS before wiser heads prevailed.
My fear is that it will be more like Return to Neverland or the Jungle Book 2 — which had the quality of direct-to-video sequels but somehow managed to sneak their way into theaters.The odds of that are approximately three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one.
Has that been scrapped? Or are they doubling down on Moana every twelve months can save Disney’s theatrical business?I guess it's at least an improvement over live action remake, but that bar is so low...
Unlikely, IMO. If this was being developed for Disney+, and in the middle they decided to make it a theatrical release, I don't see how will magically be worth being up on the big screen.The lack of Lin-Manuel Miranda has me VERY concerned as his music was a large part of the appeal of the first movie. And I am more skeptical about pop music artists writing a musical after the mostly lackluster songs of Wish (although I did like "Knowing What I know Now).

Bob Iger has announced the Disney+ animated series is being turned into a theatrical release on November 27, 2024.
Here's the announcement for Moana 2.
I presume they cancelled the live action remake. This is a smart move in my opinion
Hmm, very strange, but that is Bob Iger's Disney.They have not - it is still on the official theatrical schedule Disney sent out to press yesterday.
I'm right there with you. The lack of LMM has me worried.The lack of Lin-Manuel Miranda has me VERY concerned as his music was a large part of the appeal of the first movie.
