What could be better than this?! Yesterday was nothing short of magical. We were invited to The Disney Animation Building at Walt Disney Studios to celebrate the release of Moana 2 on digital and the film's debut on Disney+ this Wednesday, March 12. We were spoiled with meeting some of the voice actors, musicians and animators who worked on the film and learning how they created the storm in the film, including the producer Christina Chen, directors David and Jason, voice actors Hualalai Chung (Moni) and Awhimai Fraser (Matangi), and the beautiful talented Barlow and Bear who performed a medley of songs for us. We were served a delicious Hawaiian inspired lunch, created Kakamoras, conducted several interviews and had the best day. I do not take these opportunities for granted. We are beyond grateful and humbled to be included yesterday, Kennedy being invited to do interviews and celebrate Moana 2 with the cast and people who worked and created this film. What a beautiful day. Thank you Disney Animation. Moana 2 is on digital now and you can watch it on Disney+ on Wednesday, March 12. See all the fun we had here.
Interview with Barlow and Bear
Kennedy made Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear Moana charm necklaces.
As soon as we got home we printed this photo, framed it and put it on our shelf. We met several people that worked on the film and we had everyone sign our Moana book.
Interview with directors Jason and David
Interview with Hualalai Chung who voices Moni & Awhimai Fraser who voices Matangi
We started our day trying to take photos in front of the Disney Animation Building. It was very windy.
Carter dreams of being an animator so being in this building surrounded by all Disney animators and meeting talented people that worked on Moana 2 was amazing.
There were lots of photo areas, food, drinks, performances, and more.
The kids created several kakamoras
They had a REAL Fix It Felix game and the kids played it all day long.
