Disney Submits Two Songs for Oscar Consideration

News summary

Disney has selected two songs from the upcoming animated film 'Moana 2' for consideration in the Best Original Song category at the 97th Academy Awards: 'Beyond' and 'Can I Get a Chee Hoo?'. Both songs are composed by Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, with 'Beyond' featuring Pacific choral vocals by Opetaia Foa’i and performed by Auli’i Cravalho and Rachel House. 'Beyond' serves as the film's 'I want' song, akin to the original Moana's 'How Far I’ll Go', while 'Can I Get a Chee Hoo?' provides comic relief, performed by Dwayne Johnson as Maui. This marks a strategic decision for Disney, as they have typically submitted only one song per film in recent years, following the mishap with 'Encanto'. The film is set to release on November 28th in Brazil, and expectations are high for both songs to garner nominations. The Academy's rules, which limit submissions, have influenced Disney's cautious approach to song selection.
