We’re only 7 days away from sailing the mythical shores of Disney‘s Moana 2. Disney have sent us a new Featurette all about the music from the film.

The 3 minute behind the scenes featurette is entitled ‘The Music of Motunui‘. In this promo we hear from songwriters Abigail Barlow, Emily Bear who with Opetaia Foa‘i and Mark Mancina who all involved in creating the film’s score.

“Music is always such an important part of all of our stories, whether it’s a musical or not,” said producer Yvett Merino. “‘Moana 2’ is a stunning, sweeping musical. Its songs help move the story forward in such a special way and the score is so dynamic. It has been such a great experience.”
