Moana 2 star Auli'i Cravalho opened up about what it was like reprising the title character in the upcoming animated sequel, currently scheduled to hit theaters on November 27.

During a recent interview, Cravalho gave a sneak peek at Moana's "completely different journey" in the sequel, as she opened up about growing up with her iconic character. In addition to returning for Moana 2, the Mean Girls star is also currently attached as an executive producer on Disney's highly anticipated live-action remake of the 2016 animated film.

"She's growing. She's pushing herself even further beyond the reef now," Cravalho said (via People ). "The recording booth is really my happy place, and [I'm grateful to] return to this character that I know so well, but also take her on a completely different journey."

Directed and written by David G. Derrick Jr., Moana 2 will feature the voices of Auliʻi Cravalho and Johnson, reprising their respective roles as Moana and Maui. The original was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. Not only was it a commercial success, grossing over $600 million, but it also received positive reviews from critics and earned two Oscar nominations, including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.
