From People: "Moana is such an amazing character," says Cravalho, who lives in the town of Mililani with her mother, Puanani. "She's brave, she is so empowered, she knows what she wants and she's not afraid to get it, and I think that's something that I can relate to as well. I just love watching how she goes along in this wonderful movie and grows as a person and helps her culture along the way." Auli'i Cravalho is starring as Moana, alongside Dwayne Johnson voicing the demigod Maui, who Moana encounters on her adventure.
