I guess his daughter will understand that he plays Moie this time around, but I guess she whold entryway beccose she most be older now.

[@demJem09]

Wow that line up!

[@grazakilzok7591]

Is it weird that i have a hard time imagining The Rock with hair

[@DisneyDave]

👍😁

So Moana 2 is happening this year and then 2 years later the live action remake feels weird honestly just because we haven't even reached 10 years for the original Moana 20 year's later makes more sense but by 2026 it'll be 10 years but still feels weird
Princess and the frog or tangled live action should've happened first given the order of release Heck frozen is huger and a little bit more older but even that isn't getting a live action
I just feel like Dwayne Johnson just wanted to do this because he wanted to make it about himself

Didn't the grandma die

[@kendra-jd3zu]

Yh that’s what I was thinking 😅??

[@kendra-jd3zu]

Mabye it was a memory she had of her grandma

[@DisneyDave]

@MckenzieRobson, yes but this is a live-action remake of the original animated film and not a continuation of the story 👍
