At least with the lion king there was a 25 year gap between the two movies so the target audience would've been entirely different generations.
But Moana 2 came out 2 years ago. Anyone who watched it, probably watched the first one beforehand, even if we're talking about a 5 year old in 2024 who wasn't around in 2016 - the kid's parents would've probably pirated or streamed it to watch before going to the movies to see Moana 2.
