The sequel drew 27.3 million views globally in its first five days on Disney Plus, according to the studio, marking the biggest Walt Disney Animation Studios premiere since Encanto.
It also marks the third largest animated theatrical premiere of all time on the streamer.
The film – which sees Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson return to voice their characters from the 2016 original – also achieved significant theatrical success after landing in cinemas in November, earning more than $1 billion at the global box office and out-grossing all but two films to have been released in 2024.
Set three years after the first film, Moana 2 revolves around the titular heroine (Cravalho) as she embarks on an adventure to the far seas of Oceania after she gets an unexpected call from her ancestors, and brings her together with Maui (Johnson) as well as a crew of unlikely seafarers.
So, how can you watch the movie at home? Read on for everything you need to know about the latest streaming and DVD and Blu-ray options.

Yes, Moana 2 finally sailed on Disney Plus on Wednesday 12th March, meaning it's available to watch right now.
That pretty much lines up with what we'd been expecting, with the date coming just over 100 days after the theatrical debut – which is generally the length of time Disney leaves between cinema and streaming release dates.
The film is available to watch for all subscribers at no additional cost. The Standard with Ads package will cost you £4.99, while you can opt for ad-free options at £8.99 and 12.99 per month.
The original is also available to stream on the platform.
