DISNEY ANNOUNCE THE VOICE OF NEW FILM MOANA...

23:04:00

Good Evening Lovelies,

I hope you are all well! I was at an event tonight for Glamour magazine and while I thought I had done this post it seems as though my computer was silly and didn’t post it lovelies, so I am doing so now, because this is huge news!



This morning Disney announced that they had cast the lead in their new film, ‘Moana’ lovelies, which is due out on the 2nd December next year. Newcomer, Auli’i Cravalho who is 14, auditioned with over a 100 overs to win the role which will see her voice the new character. For her audition the new star had to sing as part of an a cappella group for a charity song.

 “I didn’t think I would have a chance,” she 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.”
 “Her audition was fantastic – she was such a raw talent,” said producer Osnat Shurer. “Auli’i was among a small number of girls we brought back for a second round of auditions. Then we flew her and her mom over to audition at our studios in Burbank.”

“Auli’i demonstrated a certain fearlessness in her auditions and call-backs,” said 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.”



“Moana is a vibrant, tenacious 16-year-old growing up on an island where voyaging is forbidden,” added director Ron Clements. “But Moana has been drawn to the ocean since she can remember and is desperate to find out what’s beyond the confines of her island.”  Cravalho has already started recording for the role.
