Eight key details about Moana at a glance, with official and verified sources.

Is Moana still on Netflix?

What is the current Netflix status?

• Netflix removed Moana on December 20, 2018 to make room for holiday titles (All About Cookies (streaming guide)).
• It has not returned to Netflix in the US or any major region as of 2025.
• Some international libraries may have had Moana temporarily, but current availability is limited to Disney+ and rental platforms.

The implication: Netflix’s rotation of Disney titles ended when the studio launched its own streaming service. For Moana, that means the only subscription path is through Disney+.

Where can I watch Moana 1?

Is Moana on Disney+?

Yes, Moana is included with a Disney+ subscription in the US, UK, and Canada (Disney+ (official movie page)). You can also stream the sing-along version on the same platform.

Beyond Disney+, you can rent or buy Moana from several digital retailers:

• Amazon Prime Video: Rent for $3.99 (SD) to $4.99 (HD); buy for $14.99 (IMDb (news article))
• YouTube Movies: Rent or purchase, prices similar to Amazon
• Apple TV: Rent or buy, often matches other platforms
• Google Play Movies: Rent or buy (All About Cookies (streaming guide))

The pattern: Disney+ is the only subscription service that includes Moana at no extra cost. For everyone else, transactional digital rental is the alternative.

Is Moana on Prime or Netflix?

Is Moana included with Prime subscription?

No. Moana is not part of Amazon Prime Video’s included catalog; it’s only available for individual rental or purchase (IMDb (news article)).

Here’s how the major platforms compare:

Four subscription and transactional options for Moana, one key difference: inclusion status.

The trade-off: Subscribers to Disney+ pay a monthly fee but get Moana without extra cost. Prime members and others must pay per view, which can be cheaper than a whole month of Disney+ if you only want one film.

How to watch Moana without Disney?

What are the alternatives to Disney+?

• Rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Apple TV, or Google Play. Prices typically range from $3.99–$4.99 for rental (All About Cookies (streaming guide)).
• Check your local library’s digital lending service. Some public libraries offer Moana via platforms like Kanopy or Hoopla (though not guaranteed).
• Wait for a sale. Digital retailers occasionally discount Disney films around holidays.

The catch: Without Disney+, you lose the sing-along version and the convenience of unlimited rewatches. A single rental ($4) is cheaper than a month of Disney+ (~$8), but if you plan to watch it multiple times, buying the digital copy ($15) makes more sense.

Is Moana 2 on Netflix or Amazon Prime?

What is the release status of Moana 2?

• Moana 2 had a theatrical release in November 2024 (Disney+ (Moana 2 page)).
• Digital rental and purchase became available in early 2025 on Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Apple TV, and Google Play.
• Moana 2 is not available on Netflix or Amazon Prime subscription as of 2025. It has not yet arrived on Disney+, but that is widely expected within 2025.

The pattern: Disney’s theatrical-to-streaming window usually takes 3–6 months after digital release. For Moana 2, that points to a Disney+ debut sometime in mid-to-late 2025.

What’s confirmed and what’s unclear

For anyone still deciding, the core question is commitment. A single rental costs less than a month of Disney+, but if you plan to watch Moana more than twice, the purchase price ($15) beats paying rental fees each time. And with Moana 2 likely coming to Disney+ later this year, subscribers will get double the value. For families in the US, the choice is clear: rent once for a cheap night in, or subscribe to Disney+ for the full ocean of content.

For those who have already watched the original, the sequel Moana 2 on Disney Plus offers a new adventure that premiered on the platform in March 2025.
