GMA3 What You Need To Know

This Wednesday, November 13th, GMA3: What You Need to Know is attempting a tricky balancing act, aiming to combine the feel-good vibes of World Kindness Day with the promotional push for Disney’s “Moana 2,” all while squeezing in some bargain shopping. Let’s see if they can pull it off.

First up, Auli’i Cravalho, the voice of Moana, will be on hand to chat about the much-anticipated sequel. Expect Cravalho to share a tidbit or two about reprising her role and perhaps drop some vague hints about what adventures await Moana and Maui.

Adding a dose of wholesomeness to the proceedings, Elmo and Dr. Rosemarie Truglio from “Sesame Street” will be stopping by to celebrate World Kindness Day. While cynicism might tempt one to question the sincerity of a corporate tie-in to kindness, it’s probably best to avoid that line of thought, especially if you happen to have any small children in the vicinity.
