48 free Moana 2 trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Moana 2 sent the wayfinder back out to sea three years after the first film, and this quiz covers the whole voyage: the vision of Tautai Vasa, the sunken island of Motufetu, the new crew of Loto, Moni and Kele, the return of the coconut-armoured Kakamora, Matangi's lair inside a giant clam, the storm god Nalo and the moment Moana touches the island floor and pays for it. Early questions suit kids who know it by heart: the name of Moana's little sister, what Maui's new song is called, who shows up in the mid-credits scene. Later ones are for grown-ups: why the film began as a five-episode Disney+ series, why Lin-Manuel Miranda did not write the songs, which studio animated it, what the character is called in Europe, and how it broke Frozen II's Thanksgiving record. Every answer has been checked against the film's production record and each question links to its source. Our Moana trivia covers the 2016 original; this page is for the sequel.
