Moana 2 songwriters Barlow & Bear on joining Disney and following on from Lin-Manuel Miranda

We caught up with the super-talented team behind Disney's latest sequel Moana 2 to chat all things animation, song-writing and demi-gods. 

In the new film, the plucky Moana (voiced by Auli'i Cravalho) finds herself a mother, and also the leader of a new group of intrepid explorers. Moana must take to the azure Polynesian seas again to save her people from an ancient curse, and she's got bantering sidekick Maui (Dwayne Johnson) along for the ride again.

Songwriting and music are, of course, essential to the Disney magic. Moana 2 swaps out Lin-Manuel Miranda for the fast-writing musical duo Barlow & Bear – you may know them best for the stage hit The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical.

Check out our interview, and also our one with directors Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller, as we discuss favorite Moana characters and the Moana 2 songs they have on repeat.
