Ahead of its official release tomorrow, screenings of Moana 2 have begun at The El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, and we were there last night to see how the theater is celebrating Disney’s newest release.
Once inside, Kakamora could be found all over, traversing the walls of the movie palace.
Guests could pose for photos with statues of Moana and Maui, along with their trusty paddle and hook.
One of the most iconic parts of seeing a movie at The El Capitan Theatre is the pre-show performance from the theater’s organist, quite often performing songs from the film’s soundtrack. Moana’s ship and iconography from the film also decorated the stage.
Before the film starts, lights will dance and the curtain rises for a Moana 2 themed curtain show, which you can watch below.
During our special event, plenty of donuts from Wayfinder Donuts were available.
