The streaming landscape has become even more captivating with the arrival of March. Disney+ and Hulu have introduced an array of new movies and shows that promise to captivate audiences. Among these, three titles stand out for their unique appeal: Moana 2, Good American Family, and O’Dessa. Each offers a distinct narrative and style, from animated adventures to dramatic real-life stories and post-apocalyptic rock operas. This month, viewers can look forward to rich storytelling and diverse entertainment options that cater to all tastes.

Animated Adventure Reaches New Heights

Disney's beloved character returns in a sequel that continues her journey of discovery. Moana 2 is set three years after the original film, where Moana embarks on a new mission inspired by her ancestors. The movie features vibrant visuals and promises to be a delightful addition to the platform. With its release on Disney+, it’s poised to become one of the most-watched films this month.

In Moana 2, the protagonist, voiced by Auliʻi Cravalho, receives an unexpected call from her ancestors, prompting her to assemble a wayfinder crew. Their goal is to locate the hidden island of Motufetu. Directed by David G. Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller, the film showcases stunning animation and a compelling storyline. Critics have praised its bright and beautiful visuals, making it an excellent choice for families and fans of animated adventures. The movie, which grossed over $1 billion at the box office, now reaches a wider audience through streaming.

Dramatic Realities and Post-Apocalyptic Thrills

Beyond animated spectacles, March also brings compelling dramas and unique narratives. Two standout additions are Good American Family and O’Dessa. Good American Family explores a true story of adoption and legal battles, while O’Dessa presents a post-apocalyptic rock opera. Both offer thought-provoking content and immersive experiences for viewers seeking something different.

Good American Family delves into the complex story of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian orphan with dwarfism adopted by the Barnett family. The series dramatizes the disturbing legal showdown that ensued when the Barnetts accused Natalia of lying about her age and attempting to harm them. Starring Ellen Pompeo and Mark Duplass, the show is told from multiple perspectives, exploring issues of bias, trauma, and perspective. Meanwhile, O’Dessa tells the tale of a farm girl named O’Dessa, played by Sadie Sink, who ventures into a dangerous city to recover a cherished family heirloom. Her journey leads her to meet her true love and face challenges that test the power of destiny. Directed by Geremy Jasper, O’Dessa blends music and drama in a unique post-apocalyptic setting.
