The main character in “Moana 2” can walk on water and move oceans, but is she a princess?
Auli’i Cravalho, who voices Moana in both the 2016 original animated film and new the sequel, said she’s more than that.
The actress, now 24, was 14 when she was first cast as the character. Moana’s journey in the new movie, Cravalho told People, marks the first time “in Disney history that a Disney princess has been allowed to age.”
