Moana 2 made a LOT of money for Disney, but the reviews are very middling. However, this might set a precedent for Disney and other studios — you CAN make big money outsourcing your animation outside of LA (this movie was made in Canada.) That might not bode well for the LA animation scene as the Guild is still in contract negotiations with AMPTP.
