However, one upcoming project fans were especially excited about was Tiana, a Disney+ series that would act as a sequel to the beloved 2009 film. At the time, the series was announced alongside a Moana TV show, Zootopia Plus, and Baymax, which would all be sequels to their respective hit movies.

The actress, who voices Princess Tiana, encouraged fans of the animated film to "tune in" Princess and the Frog voice actress Anika Noni Rose is sharing her deep disappointment over her character Princess Tiana’s television series being canceled by Disney.

Anika Noni Rose is “deeply disappointed” after Disney scrapped its planned “Princess and the Frog” television series for Disney+ after years in development. The series, titled “Tiana,” was first announced in 2020.

Moana remains the center of the story in the sequel, as she sets out to quite literally save humankind. She’s once again voiced by Auli’i Cravalho, who originated the character in 2016, and has since starred in the 2024 musical version of “Mean Girls,” “The Power,” “Crush” and more.

“Moana 2” is available only on Disney+ as of Wednesday, March 12. You can watch the film right now with a subscription to the service. This is likely to be the only place to view the movie for the foreseeable future. Here’s a look at the song “Get Lost” from “Moana 2,” courtesy of the Disney Music VEVO official YouTube channel:

If the distance of a streaming app appeals more than a theater, we now know when the sequel to the 2016 animated movie debuts on Disney Plus. Originally planned as a TV series, Moana 2 follows its Polynesian heroine on a new adventure three years after the first film.
