The original story, of an adventurous Polynesian girl who sets sail on a mission to save her people, was a hit in 2016.

The sequel is set three years after the original, so we can see a slightly different, more grown-up looking Moana.

The new trailer tells us that Moana receives a message from her ancestors and must journey into dangerous waters.

What awaits her is an adventure "like no other", according to Disney.

When will Moana 2 be released?
