Question 1

Is Moana 2 woke?

Accepted Answer

Moana 2 has a woke score of 42/100, which means it is mixed, with noticeable woke elements. Moana 2 is a direct sequel that continues the original's Pacific Islander cultural focus through wayfinding, ancestral visions, and reconnecting isolated islands via a new crew and adventure against a fantasy storm god. Creators with Samoan heritage emphasize authentic representation in interviews and production, with Polynesian voice cast and language dubs, plus themes of perseverance, community, and self-belief in songs. No explicit modern political dialogue, identity swaps, or institutional critiques appear in plot summaries or reviews; any empowerment or "unite tribes" elements are incidental to the family adventure setup. Public woke complaints are minimal and fringe.
