Parents of young children should let loose a hearty “cheehoo” upon the release of Moana 2. That’s weekend entertainment sorted, with a sequel that comes close to the soaring storytelling and exhilarating anthems of the first film, which delighted young audiences eight years ago, resulting in countless Halloween costumes and babies belting about how far they’ll go.

The animated film, which celebrated the strength and power of young girls, as well as Polynesian culture with reverence and specificity, was a balm in November 2016. It was a massive box-office hit, and nominated for two Academy Awards for original songs written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
