dare desu ga Funny u should say that considering that Samoa, which is another Polynesian nation in the Pacific, are known for being called “People of the Sun” ... not sure if that correlates but yeah.
Auli’i cravalho is famous for her role in Disney’s Moana I love to give credit to her and I love to show her the Mickey Mouse short series some of the best episodes of the show see ya real soon 😉
May I ask how, Moana’s father, who hates the ocean. Named his daughter Moana. After the ocean. (Edit: i wrote this a year ago and just saw y’all actually debating in the replies and honestly my favorite answer was one person who said “he hates his daughter” hehe
I love how all the trash cans in Hawaii tourist areas have 'Mahalo' written on them to thank you for throwing away your trash, but some people now think Mahalo means trash.
Emma It's so strange, i read those books as a kid, the ones where the non-locals get offended if someone says mahalo to them and believe they were being called trash, but in all the years i lived on the island, i never seen it happened. is it really a thing?
Emma Tokita I've worked in the hotel industry for a short bit and yes it has happened Lolol I tried so hard to hold in my laughter but in the end I corrected them saying opāla was trash.... there was even a tourist who came up to me asking if I only spoke Hawaiian and I was like "uhh no?" I wanted to troll so badly but I was working so I couldn't ;;
One time I was at KFC, I over heard this family who was visiting. The wife said to the husband "honey, give me your Mahalo so I can throw it away". The husband was like "Mahalo?" And the wife when respond, "Yeah, see the trash can says Mahalo on it, so it's a Mahalo can. Trash can." I shook my head...
All of Disney's "ethnic" projects should include little cultural lessons like this: we might actually learn something. Imagine if they'd done this with, "The Emperor's New Groove."
Nick Hentschel tbh that movie had nothing about incan culture though ;; like the scenery and " haha llamas " but at least this one includes poly culture IN the movie. ENG was way too far back for something like that, let along for them to teach Quechua.
Andrea G Nevertheless, it would have been a good idea: speakers of the language are making a real push to revive it, even to the point of translating popular songs. (I know very well that ENG wasn't really "Inca" until several years later.)
Nick Hentschel lol tbh my mom is incan and her family speak it! so i understand their struggle. i agree with you though! it would be cool if they made an effort to go back and do this esp since its made for an american audience using universal influences. it would educate a lot.
CharliChu fun fact: you can listen to outtakes in the album and there's a song called "More" which was kind of the original "How far I'll go" and in the reprise it says that her grandmother was the one who named her😊
Hawaiian is considered an endangered language. I think it's easier to forget because you are less likely to use it unless you have people to talk to in that language or another reason to speak it (ex: if you live in Hawaii).
you can tell she takes a lot of pride in being Hawaiian. every interview I’ve seen her do where she talks about Hawaii, she gets so bright and happy & that’s so cute. She definitely has a lot to be proud of, Hawaii has such a beautiful culture.
Aloha au i ka mokupuni o Kaua‘i! I went there in 2014 and loved it. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of Hawaiian on public signs. As a language nerd that disappointed me. Still, nani ‘o Kaua‘i. Ua hele au i Po‘ipū.
Saw the movie today! Loved it! I'm not polynesian (I'm jamaican) but I felt so much pride for my brown folks on screen (animated or not lol). So proud! It was great.
I had the biggest smile on my face watching this!!! Representation is so important and for me (being Hawaiian) being able to see someone like me in this industry just makes my heart soar. I wish all the love and success to her! Aloha!
She sure does giggle a lot. That is just cute. Auli'i is such an aborable sweetheart. Her parents must be sooo proud. If you're not having such a good day or for some reason just not happy, watch a video of her. She can cheer you up and put a smile right back on your face.
She looks so pretty bubbly and bright. 😍 And whenever she says a Hawaiian word especially she sounds just like Moana herself, which makes sense because she is Moana but also because her voice sounds so natural and not forced while acting and I love it! Hope to see her in more projects soon!
This is it. You know those "sunshine" people. She's one of them. She's sunshine.
dare desu ga
Funny u should say that considering that Samoa, which is another Polynesian nation in the Pacific, are known for being called “People of the Sun” ... not sure if that correlates but yeah.
Oh, I recognize mikasa when I see her, you have my respect
dare desu ga ikr! 🥰🤩
I love how you say that with a deku profile pic cause he is also sunshine
it seemed authentic too
OMG her voice sounds like she's already a princess even though she's not even trying 😫
Niheshly Quinones Oh my gosh, right?! She's so amazing!
Yea,she's so amazing!
lmao all I hear is her pidgin accent
Auli’i cravalho is famous for her role in Disney’s Moana I love to give credit to her and I love to show her the Mickey Mouse short series some of the best episodes of the show see ya real soon 😉
this girl is such a joy, she seems so genuinely sweet. I want good things for her so bad.
She's the star voice of a Disney princess movie, how much better can it get? 😂
Airista Harns actually continuing to get roles? Like Moana will only last so long my friend.
TreClaire Yes, I know. It was a joke. I'm sure she'll get more roles.
Airista Harns I really hope so
Ikr! Same!
I feel like she didn’t get as famous as other voice actors , that makes me sad she deserves more
Evelyn morales She’s gonna be playing The Little Mermaid in the ABC production.
This has nothing to do with the video but ARMY
A lot of the voice actors were famous before also, she wasn't
Maybe she doesn’t want the fame
@@akutagawasneck4046 ok if u know it has nothing to do with the video then leave it at that
She just brighnted up the entire room !
Garisha Herath she would do it a lil to much but she cute af and were the same age but im 2 and 30 days older hahah
Yea
when i read this the sun like brightened up
CLAVIN ZKL A little too much?...She’s amazing and I love her personality!!!
Its like.. She doesn't say any bad words in lifetime
She's so precious and adorable I hope Hollywood doesn't ruin her
They probably will tho :(
I'll be looking for any nude leaks... just so I can report back to you.
lol i hope not
she's not even 18 dude.
I'd love to ruin her
So we just gonna ignore there’s a real life Disney princess walking around in Hawaii?¿
Lol perfectly said
Moana isn't a disney princess
PunnyMegan yes she *is*
Well, she kind of is? She is the daughter of the chief of her tribe, so she is kind of a Disney princess? But I wouldn’t say princess.
@@nochances she's an official Disney Princess. Her movie status doesn't matter lol
She forgot to mention ohana. Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind.
James Kim family means nobody get left behind
MIYIAUQ Or forgotten
lol
They probably didn't wanna advertise Lilo & Stitch haha
James Kim 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Her voice is so soft and calming shes soo underrated :(
Please protect this girl at all costs. She's so precious and down to earth!
I hope this girl becomes a superstar
ArMor oF LiGht its too late brother, it's too late
*COUGH* Miley Cyrus even though Hannah Montana & Moana are pretty different *COUGH*
QuaDead _ how is it too late?
She's beautiful and has the personality of a freaking angel gosh is she even real?
It's called charisma. And she has a ton of it.
this girls voice is so soothing holy
and some ppl said she doesnt fit to voice moana like WHAT?!
May I ask how, Moana’s father, who hates the ocean.
Named his daughter
Moana.
After the ocean.
(Edit: i wrote this a year ago and just saw y’all actually debating in the replies and honestly my favorite answer was one person who said “he hates his daughter” hehe
She was named by her grandma who loves the ocean
She was named by her grandmother
her father wanted a son. thats why.
Liking Leto's comment cause its kinda funny .
Then Moana's father hates her
Auli’i Cravalho Bindi Irwin
🤝
Having completely unproblematic energies
Anna -Lisa wholesome queens
WHOLESOME
She's so bright and beautiful you almost feel like you're with a long time friend.
She reminds me of HSM Vanessa Hudgens era. She's so sweet
Same here
Hsm is my favorite
Yesssss
+Zuan Idrys and aulii is Portuguese and native hawaiian
Auli'i is the purest cinnamon roll, too precious for this world, too pure ♥
I love the signature flower in her hair. She’s so bubbly and bright
That’s actually a common custom you see women wearing in Hawaii
Yep and sometimes ladies put the flower on the right ear to show that they are single and the left ear is for if they are dating/ married.
1:12 your welcome
Theo Durcak *I sEe WHaT's hApPENInG HeRe*

*You're
Black He's saying how the word also means "you're welcome."
Oml made me laughhh
OHHH I THOUGHT I WAS THANKING YOU FOR THE TIME STAMP
Is she even real? She's so pretty.

I can see it happening though.

Andrea G They might still work it into "Descendants," too, if any of the characters or their families show up.
Nick Hentschel dap
She legit loves all the words
That's because shes proud of her Hawaiian culture and background. Nothing wrong with that.
@@Catalina._ miss*
she is A D O R A B L E
i absolutely love her, she always looks so positive and i just remember watching her reaction video when she got the role and she was so happy
Gloria Roosevelt I agree with the positive.😁
So Moana's Dad hates the ocean and then he named his daughter ocean
CharliChu he doesn't hate the ocean, he's scared of it.
CharliChu fun fact: you can listen to outtakes in the album and there's a song called "More" which was kind of the original "How far I'll go" and in the reprise it says that her grandmother was the one who named her😊
Camila Moya aw that's sweet
in some Polynesian cultures Moana is the name of a sea goddess
Tui: blame the creators
I love Auli'i so much honestly!
FROG dela POND my man
The girl is covered up and they hardly move.
SirenSima Thank you. Geez, I just love Auli'i as a person; she's bubbly and sweet and awesome.
She's sixteen fuck off
FROG dela POND I don't fuck with frogs,I'm strictly into Toads.
Hawaiian is one of those languages that is easy to pronounce but you forget it in a short amount of time
Biana Vacker it’s not really easy these are just a few words
Hawaiian is considered an endangered language. I think it's easier to forget because you are less likely to use it unless you have people to talk to in that language or another reason to speak it (ex: if you live in Hawaii).
Biana Vacker that’s not true because I’m Hawaiian
Even the kama'aina don't speak it much nowadays.
Not for me. I am Hawaiian so it means much more to me than let's say everyone else on the main thread that watches Disney.
you can tell she takes a lot of pride in being Hawaiian. every interview I’ve seen her do where she talks about Hawaii, she gets so bright and happy & that’s so cute. She definitely has a lot to be proud of, Hawaii has such a beautiful culture.
YES! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SAYS HAWAIIAN WORDS CORRECTLY AND DOES WANT TO MAKE ME RIP MY HAIR OUT! I AM SO HAPPY THIS HAPPENED! ALOHA FROM KAUA'I!
Sage Crowely Well duh she would pronounce it right. She's Hawaiian.
RIGHT
Aloha au i ka mokupuni o Kaua‘i! I went there in 2014 and loved it. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of Hawaiian on public signs. As a language nerd that disappointed me. Still, nani ‘o Kaua‘i. Ua hele au i Po‘ipū.

Sage Crowely
I don't belong here
She's just SO cute, aahhh i love her. She's just like a real disney princess :)
I just realised how many Hawaiian words I know from LILO and stitch
Ohana hahaha
Ohana means nobody gets left behind
Or....?
@@JixieDyeAuthor forgotten
was such a good movie
none of these words were in Lilo and Stitch
She is so beautiful. And her smile can bright up a whole room.
If there's moana live action she should play as moana. I don't want anyone else.
YES
yes definitely
She's so pretty! I can't wait to see Moana!
She is so cute omg her personality is so bubbly and and bright I just want to hug her slkjafwoi
Saw the movie today! Loved it! I'm not polynesian (I'm jamaican) but I felt so much pride for my brown folks on screen (animated or not lol). So proud! It was great.
Kyla Grace .
Kyla Grace personally I felt the pride when u see everyone has curly hair in the movie
What a beautiful ray of sunshine, she's so lively and sweet. She seems like she'd be a super fun person to be around.
I wanna be as bright and cheery as her. The energy she exudes is like a literal Disney princess.
US HAWAIIANS BE REPRESENTED FINALLY
Nathalie J yassss
Nathalie J ABOUT TIME MAN
Nathalie J finally? Lilo and Stitch.
Don't forget about us Tongans and Samoans!!!
Ilicia Rodriguez Lilo and Stitch didn't really show the culture. And most of the Hawaiian characters were voiced by white actors :/
She's so precious omg I can't
OMG how pretty is this girl!!
she’s so bubbly and positive and has such great posture and is so wholesome and ah i love her
She's so cute! She has a good voice - I really need to see Moana!
Request Gymnastics Moana didn't beat the lion king or frozen anyway
QuaDead _ it destroyed Frozen, so let's not.
She looks like a Disney princess herself ^~^
WE NEED MORE OF THIS GIRL 😍😍😍
She reminds me of Adelaine Morin both of them just radiate so much genuine positivity. I really love of how down to earth she seems
You can almost feel the inner beauty of this young woman coming through the computer screen. She is such a sweetie pie! I wish her SO MUCH luck!
She's so gorgeous 💕 I love the movies and especially the songs
And adorable!!!!
I trust her and she has my support in everything.
I had the biggest smile on my face watching this!!!
Representation is so important and for me (being Hawaiian) being able to see someone like me in this industry just makes my heart soar. I wish all the love and success to her! Aloha!
I remember hearing “Howzit” a lot in Lilo and Stitch. Ay! Now I know he was literally saying what I though he was LOL
i’m so glad she got the chance to share a little more about our hawaiian culture!!
Jesus. Auli'i is a cinnamon roll too precious and sweet for this world. I wish more kids at my high school were this genuine like her.
I am hawaiian my middle name is Moana!

Auli'i is an actual princess
Ugh I love her spirit so much! She's too cuuute.

Moana might be my favorite disney movie!
Scat it's great but mulan is still my #1

Yay! I'm part Hawaiian. It's so awesome to see our culture represented! Good going, Auli'i :)
Auli’i radiated so much joy in this video
Hawaii is so Beautiful. The women are Gorgeous, The men are Handsome, The island is Beautiful, Everything is so Perfect there. 😍

Beautiful name
@@saeedaaden3088 thank you!

She looks so pretty bubbly and bright. 😍 And whenever she says a Hawaiian word especially she sounds just like Moana herself, which makes sense because she is Moana but also because her voice sounds so natural and not forced while acting and I love it! Hope to see her in more projects soon!
