Following the success of 2016 Disney flick Moana, fans were thrilled to learn that a second instalment is coming.

And not only is the trailer finally here, but the release date too.

Moana was an instant hit, featuring huge names such as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Auli'i Cravalho, Jemaine Clement and Nicole Scherzinger.

The musical fantasy adventure is set on the Polynesian island of Motunui, and follows inhabitants of the island that worship the goddess of nature, known as Te Fiti.

The living island brought life to the ocean using a pounamu stone as her heart and power source, but trouble was afoot when Maui, the shape-shifting demigod of the wind and sea and master of wayfinding, stole Te Fiti's heart to give humanity the power of creation.

Watch the brand new teaser trailer here:

Te Fiti then disintegrated, and Maui was attacked by a volcanic demon, Te Kā.

As a result, Maui lost both the heart and his magic fish hook to the depths of the sea.

Moana is the strong-willed daughter of a chief of a coastal village, who is chosen by the ocean to reunite the mystical relic with goddess Te Fiti.

Moana was nominated for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song ("How Far I'll Go") at the 2017 Oscars.

Critics loved it, with Mark Kemode noting: "A joyous tale of a Polynesian teenager’s quest to save her homeland, which boasts eye-watering visuals, earworm songs and heart-swelling messages about respect for the past and hopes for the future."

Moana 2 will land in cinemas this year. (Disney)

People have been rushing to social media to share their elation at the news, with one person writing: "This looks good. Moana was an amazing film with great songs. I hope this sequel can be on the same level."

Another added: "Gotta take my girls to see this, MOANA had us in a chokehold tbh."
