Moana is the No. 1 movie on Disney+ worldwide, according to FlixPatrol’s October 31, 2026 streaming chart. Men’s Journal reported the ranking on October 31, and said the live action remake moved ahead of several familiar Halloween season favourites on the service. The result stands out because October 31 is the peak of Halloween viewing on Disney+, when seasonal titles usually dominate the chart.
On October 31, Moana sat at the top of FlixPatrol’s worldwide Disney+ movie chart, followed by Coco at No. 2. The Nightmare Before Christmas was No. 3, while Hocus Pocus landed at No. 6. Home Alone was also in the top 10, at No. 7. The order shows subscribers choosing a tropical adventure over some of Disney’s most reliable Halloween titles, at least on that date,
Who stars in Moana
The film stars Catherine Laga’aia in the title role, and Dwayne Johnson as Maui, the demigod who joins her on her journey across the ocean. Johnson voiced Maui in the original animated film, and he returns to the role in live action. Disney also credits Johnson as one of the film’s producers, giving him a role behind the camera as well as in front of it.
The film follows the basic story fans know from the 2016 animated film, according to Men’s Journal. She leaves her island home and sets out across the ocean, with Maui beside her for much of the journey. The live action version brings the world of Motunui and its characters to the screen with a new cast led by Laga’aia, while keeping the shape of the earlier story. That mix of familiarity and new casting is part of why the remake drew attention on its cinema release.
Disney lists it as a 2026 action adventure, and confirms that it is now streaming on Disney+. The film runs 1 hour and 55 minutes, and it carries a PG rating. Those details matter for family viewing, since the film sits in the same space as the animated original, aimed at viewers of all ages rather than at an adult audience.
How Moana reached No. 1 on Disney+
It was released in cinemas on July 10, 2026, before arriving on Disney+ in October. Men’s Journal described it as a relatively new addition to the service, and that recency helps explain its chart position. A film that has just arrived on streaming often draws viewers who missed it in cinemas, plus viewers who saw it and want to watch it again at home. Both groups can push a title to the top in its first weeks on a service.
The Halloween chart also shows how Disney+ viewing splits at this time of year. Coco at No. 2 and The Nightmare Before Christmas at No. 3 kept seasonal and family viewing close behind it. Hocus Pocus at No. 6 and Home Alone at No. 7 show that holiday titles still held much of the top 10. It did not replace that viewing. It sat above it on October 31, while the seasonal titles filled the places just below.
FlixPatrol charts measure relative viewing on a service on a given date, rather than giving exact audience numbers. The ranking therefore shows where it stood against other Disney+ films on October 31, not how many people watched it in total. That limit applies to every title on the chart, and it is worth keeping in mind when reading a No. 1 position. The chart still gives a clear picture of what subscribers chose that day, and it was the first choice worldwide.
What the Moana ranking says about its audience
The ranking points to an audience that spans the original film’s fans and newer viewers. People who grew up with the 2016 animated Moana are now old enough to watch the remake with their own families, and Johnson’s return as Maui gives those viewers a direct link to the earlier film. Laga’aia’s casting gives the remake its own centre, and the film’s PG rating keeps it open to younger viewers as well.
Moana also benefits from being a known story. Viewers choosing a film for a family night often pick a title they already know, rather than taking a chance on something unfamiliar. On Halloween, that habit can work against a new release, since seasonal favourites are the known choice. On October 31, Moana overcame that pull, at least for one day, and took the top spot worldwide.
Whether Moana holds the top spot beyond October 31 will depend on how viewing shifts after Halloween, when seasonal titles usually fall back and newer releases move up. For now, the FlixPatrol chart for October 31 puts Moana at No. 1 on Disney+ worldwide, ahead of Coco, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus and Home Alone.
