Pick of the week
Moana 2
This is the second instalment of what we must now call a “franchise” (a live-action version of the 2016 original is out next year), so savour the rarity value while you can. It’s colourful, musical business as usual, with Auli’i Cravalho’s ebullient Polynesian navigator Moana setting off into the blue to seek a drowned island – cursed by bad-tempered storm deity Nalo – whose revival will reconnect all the scattered ocean peoples. Dwayne Johnson as demigod Maui vies for the comic foil position with her pet pig and hapless rooster, and it’s good to see the coconut pirates back in fighty form. Gods and monsters abound, with Nalo clearly being positioned as the Thanos of the series. Simon Wardell
