Lin-Manuel Miranda Addresses Moana 2 Soundtrack Controversy and His Absence
Lin-Manuel Miranda explained that he wasn't involved in writing music for "Moana 2" due to the film's production timeline, which already had songwriters Barlow and Bear attached. Despite the film's box office success, its soundtrack has faced mixed reviews, with some fans missing Miranda's influence. Barlow and Bear, known for "The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical," have faced criticism for their approach, but Miranda expressed pride in their work alongside composers Opetaia Foa'i and Mark Mancina.
