Meet the Next Disney Princess – and Get a First Look at Her Movie, Moana!| Walt Disney Company, Walt Disney Pictures, Movie News, Dwayne ''The Rock'' Johnson

Like many little girls, Auli'i Cravalho of Oahu wanted to be a Disney princess.

"From baby time to now, I wanted to be a Disney princess and then I wanted to be a singer or an actress," the 14-year-old recalls.

But when Disney Animation began searching for a girl to voice the lead in its next princess movie Moana– about a young teen from 2,000 years ago who sets sail to fulfill her ancestors' quest – Cravalho didn't think she was good enough to audition.

"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."

Cravalho is especially excited to work alongside Johnson, who will play a demigod named Maui whom Moana encounters during her travels.

"I am very excited about that, my gosh," says Cravalho, a soprano who participates in her school's glee club. "I’ve never heard him sing before so it’s going to be really interesting!"

I'm not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to this! I don't think anything is going to beat Lilo and Stitch in my books but I'm glad they're continuing to diversify their princesss and I think the setting for this one will be gorgeous. <3
