Moana 2 opens in theaters this week, so the Disney animated sequel is certainly a top choice for the 2025 Academy Awards. The first film was well received by critics and was subsequently nominated in the Best Animated Feature category. It ultimately lost out to another Disney movie, Zootopiaat the 2017 Oscars. Of course, one might expect its compelling sequel to prove just how far it can go this year — if only to prove that it can still win despite the first film’s previous flops. But there is moana 2 Prove yourself an Oscar contender?
I’m not entirely convinced that the sequel, in which Moana reunites with the beloved demigod Maui for new adventures, will be able to stand out from the animated competition. Disney has a long history of winning Best Animated Feature. Over the years, Pixar alone has won more than 10 Academy Awards, while Disney Animation Studios has won four Academy Awards. But DreamWorks and Studio Ghibli have long been contenders for their respective animations, and this year’s wild robotamong other things, may bite moana 2Only when Oscar opportunities are in their infancy can they have a chance to soar.
‘Moana 2’ faces stiff Oscar competition from other 2024 animations
“Wild Bots” and “Inside Out 2” are among them
I have no doubt Disney will mount a great campaign for the Oscars moana 2But the truth is, when the first wave of Oscar predictions started rolling out a little over a month ago, the anime wasn’t even in the top five. To be sure, Disney still has a strong foothold in the animated feature category, but if we compare the two films they released this year, then Inside Out 2 A strong competitor to Universal Pictures wild robotInternational Finance Corporation Memoirs of a Snailand Netflix Wallace & Gromit: The Most Revenge.
moana 2 It’s sure to be a hit (regardless of its villain issues), but it lags behind its animated peers in story and animation style. have a chance moana 2 was nominated but considered Moana Failure to achieve victory reduces the chances of a sequel. I think Inside Out 2 The chances of winning this category are higher, as the first film actually won an Oscar in 2016. Inside Out 2 take precedence over moana 2 Not at all, as it seems unlikely that the sequel movie will surpass its predecessor in the same category.

‘Moana 2’ performs better in best original song category
‘Beyond’ is a standout among movies
moana 2 At least it has a couple of good, catchy songs, and I think it has a much better chance of winning in the Best Original Song contest than it does in the Best Animated Feature category. It was less competitive than the animated feature, and since Disney submitted two songs – “Beyond” and “Can I Get a Chee Hoo?” (written by Dwayne Johnson) Maui Sings), its chances are even higher.
“Beyond” showcases Moana’s character growth and the risks of her journey, as well as the beautiful voice of Auli’i Cravalho. It’s a nice follow-up to “How Far I’ll Go,” but has more depth than the 2016 song. It’s a personal song that fits perfectly with the maturity of the sequel. Of the two songs, “Beyond” has a much better chance in the song category. “Can I buy a Zhihu?” is funny, but not “you’re welcome.” “How Far I’ll Go” didn’t win in this category, but “Beyond” might prove Moana It doesn’t take Lin-Manuel Miranda’s involvement to win.

“Beyond”‘s biggest rival may be Lainey Wilson’s “Out of Oklahoma,” from tornado. One of the song’s writers, Shane McAnally, is a two-time Grammy Award winner.
