Our review of Vaiana 2:
After a particularly successful first opus, Vaïana is back for new adventures: bigger, more dangerous, to test this peerless adventurer. Now a Taotai (the honorary title given to adventurers from her tribe), Vaïana sets off to find Maui, to try to thwart a god's curse and reunite the peoples of Oceania so that her people don't disappear...
Breathtaking landscapes, unusual characters and other anecdotes punctuate the storyline, which finds the mighty Vaïana accompanied by her pet chicken and pig, as well as a brand-new crew. A wonderful story for the whole family, even the youngest!
