Aloha, Moana. (The hello kind.)
Disney released a teaser trailer (below) for “Moana 2” on Wednesday. Our princess of Motunui is still out there voyaging, still drumming with her dead ancestors, still battling coconuts — it honestly just looks like additional “Moana” footage. That’s not automatically a bad thing. Also, it’s not yet the trailer trailer, so we’ll cut it a break — especially considering the feature film’s own origin story.
“Moana 2” was originally planned as a Disney+ series. Well, upgrade. Now a proper sequel, “Moana 2” welcomes back Auli’i Cravalho (as Moana), Dwayne Johnson as Maui, Nicole Scherzinger as Sina, and Temuera Morrison as Chief Tai.
Also an “upgrade” is Maui’s “boat snack” — the pig, Pua, has joined Heihei the chicken on Moana’s boat. Johnson gets the big joke of the teaser trailer: “Bacon and eggs!?! Why didn’t you bring the pig last time?...

Have you ever read something where everything clicks into place so neatly, you're angry at yourself for not realizing it? That's how I felt when I read Hajime Isayama, creator of "Attack on Titan," revealed that one of his influences for the manga was M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village."
Picture this: a small settlement of humans lives in isolation. Surrounding them are monsters, thus they dare not venture into the outside world. However, some youths desire to know more about the world and venture outside. On their adventure, it turns out the world is different from what they've been told and their elders have kept secrets. Am I talking about "The Village" or "Attack on Titan?" Trick question, because this works as a barebones summary for both.
Isayama has frequently cited American pop culture in general as an influence on his work. He mentioned "The Village" during an interview with Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine,...
