2 Anime shorts for the Japanese version of Moana 2
Two short films have been produced and two more are in production to advertise four Japanese-language songs that accompany the latest Disney feature film.
Moana 2 reunites Moana and Maui three years later for an expansive new voyage alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she's ever faced.
Directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller, and produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino, Moana 2 features music by Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa'i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina.
Japanese studios Yasuda Gensho Studio by Xenotoon have produced, with the approval of Disney, two short films and two more are in production to promote the songs of the local version of the feature film: The first song is "Kaettekita, Honto no Watashi ni" (I've Returned, to the True Me; the "We're Back" in the English version) and the second is "Beyond -Koete Yuko" (Beyond -Go Beyond-; The "Beyond" in the English version), both performed by Tomona Yabiku.
