Walt Disney Animation Studios unveiled a glimpse of the song, 'We're Back' from the upcoming Moana sequel Moana 2, on Thursday. The song introduces Moana's younger sister, Simea, who is energetic and fiesty.
The official description of Moana 2 reads, "Three years later, Moana (Auli'i Cravalho) and Maui (Dwayne Johnson) embark on an expansive new voyage alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.
Moana 2 also features returning stars Rachel House (Moana’s grandma, Tala), Temuera Morrison (Moana’s father, Chief Tui), and Nicole Scherzinger (Moana’s mother, Sina), as well as the voices of Hualālai Chung, David Fane, and Rose Matafeo as Moana’s new crew members, Moni, Kele, and Loto, respectively.
