Original voice cast members Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson return, as does the first film's laudable commitment to repping Polynesian culture and empowerment.

In the new animated sequel, which picks up the story three years later, Auli’i Cravalho reprises her voice role as the title character with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson returning as Maui. The songs are by Unofficial Bridgerton Musical creators Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear.
