Moana sails again, this time to find other people and break the isolation of the sea.

The same vocation, a wider map. Less surprising, still about a people and not a selfie.
A sequel has to invent a reason to leave again, and this one chooses a good reason: a people alone is not finished. Moana is no longer proving she may go. She is taking others, including the fear that she will lose them. The songs are less inevitable. The direction of the boat is still right.
Good for the family if they loved the first and you tell them this one is about not being the last boat. If they have not seen the first, start there.

The eight
Industry
6/10
She is a wayfinder with a crew now. The craft is being taught, not only performed.
Household
7/10
A little sister, a village, a father who has learned something. The home is why the boat exists.
Piety
6/10
The gods and the ancestors are still in the plot, not as a joke.
Courage
8/10
The voyage is harder because she is responsible for the people in the canoe.
Republic
8/10
The goal is to reconnect a scattered people. That is a republic of islands.
Temperance
7/10
Quieter about vanity than the first, if busier.
Truth
6/10
The call is to find who else is out there. The film believes the call.
Stewardship
8/10
A crew of the young, taught to go farther than she did.
