Meet Disney's Next Princess Moana; Disney Casting Fans For Holiday Special

Meet the Voice of Disney's Next Princess Moana:

Today Disney Animation revealed the voice of their next princess for their film, Disney's "Moana." The film will star 14-year old Hawaii native, Auli'i Cravalho who was revealed in a People Magazine exclusive first look into the film. She told the magazine, "From baby time to now, I wanted to be a Disney princess and then I want to be a singer or an actress."

She also stated, “Moana is such an amazing character… 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."

The movie is due out in theaters November 23, 2016. People also produced a video that revealed a behind the scenes look at Cravalho being casted as Moana with directors Ron Clements and John Musker. The actress was discovered by an agent during a charity singing  competition. Here is the tweet from Disney Animation with the video:
