The box-office success of "Moana 2" has gotten Disney's animation division back on track after the movie was converted from a TV series.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Moana 2," a sequel to the 2016 animated film that reunites the wayfinding title character with demigod Maui, sailed to a Thanksgiving weekend record of $221 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales,

Movie theaters finally have something for which to be thankful. Disney’s “Moana 2” cemented Thanksgiving box office records with $221 million over the five-day holiday frame, obliterating the previous high-water marks set by 2019's "Frozen II" ($125 million) and 2013's “Hunger Games: Catching Fire” ($109 million).
