This Teen's Reaction To Finding Out She’s The New Disney Princess Is Everything (Video)

by Gillian Fuller

Nearly every little girl dreams of being a princess, but few get to see it come to fruition.

Unless of course, your name is Auli’i Cravalho.

Cravalho, a 14-year-old from Hawaii, was just cast as the voice of Moana, Disney's newest princess.

The upcoming Disney film follows a Hawaiian girl named Moana as she embarks on a daring journey across the Pacific Ocean in an attempt to fulfill her ancestors’ legacy.

Along the way, the brave teen faces down dangerous beasts and overcomes “impossible odds,” eventually emerging a strong, courageous young woman capable of anything she sets her mind to.

Like her character, Cravalho is a young native Hawaiian with big dreams and the drive to make them come true — in other words, she’s everything a Disney princess should be.
