The songwriting duo behind the soundtrack of the smash hit film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Moana 2, recently made a surprise appearance performing at Disney California Adventure.
What’s Happening:
- Walt Disney Animation Studios has shared that guests visiting Disneyland Resort were treated to a special performance from Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear (AKA Barlow & Bear), the songwriters behind the smash-hit film, Moana 2.
- The duo took the stage near Paradise Bay, using the spectacular infrastructure typically used by World of Color (World of Color – Season of Light this time of year) as a beautiful backdrop for their performance.
- Bear & Barlow are responsible for the music of the box office hit, alongside Opetaia Foa'i and accompanied by Mark Mancina’s wonderful score.
.
- The setting featuring the song-writing duo in front of Paradise Bay is especially appropriate, since guests visiting Disney California Adventure can currently see a special pre-show to World of Color – Season of Light, celebrating Moana 2.
- Titled “Boat Snack,” the pre-show can now be seen for a limited time ahead of the popular seasonal nighttime spectacular at the park.
- Moana 2 reunites Moana and Maui for an expansive new voyage alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.
- Directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller, and produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino, Moana 2 features music by Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foaʻi, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina.
- Moana 2 is now playing in theaters everywhere, with the soundtrack now streaming on most major platforms.
