How 'Moana 2' charted course back to big screen<br /><br />When you look at some of the numbers, it’s hard to believe 'Moana 2' was ever going to be anything but a movie. When the teaser trailer for 'Moana 2' dropped in May, it was watched 178 million times in 24 hours. That’s more than 'Inside Out 2,' more than 'Frozen 2,' more than any animated Disney movie before. A veritable ocean’s worth of anticipation is awaiting the sequel to 2016’s 'Moana,' all proof that one of the more dramatic pivots in recent Walt Disney Co. history is paying off, big time. 'Moana 2' was originally intended to be a streaming series. Now, it’s steering toward being one of the fall’s biggest blockbusters. <br /><br />AP PHOTOS<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br />Sign up to our newsletters: https://tmt.ph/newsletters<br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#themanilatimes<br />#worldnews <br />#moana<br />#disney<br />
