Following the competitive worldwide talent search auditioning hundreds of performers aspiring to be cast title character, Moana, 14 year-old, native Hawaiian Auli’i Cravalho, has been selected to voice the title character. “I didn’t think I would have a chance,” Cravalho said. “When I was little, I used to dance around the house singing at the top of my lungs. In my mind, that was performing and I loved the feeling of it. But I never imagined being in a Disney movie, being Moana—representing my culture in that way.”
“Auli’i demonstrated a certain fearlessness in her auditions and call-backs,” said film director John Musker. “She has a playful, mischievous wit. She can project vulnerability, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all by the challenges ahead, and her Polynesian background has helped shape her connection to family, hard work and music. These are all qualities she shares with Moana.”
