Episode Description
Even if you don't know her name or face, you know her voice -- at 16, Auli'i Cravalho was the voice of Moana (and like Moana, she was a 16 year old Hawai'ian with a lot to carry). Now she's starring in live-action projects like Hulu's new queer high school rom-com, CRUSH, in which she plays the hardworking and mysterious A.J. But before all of that, Auli'i saw herself in another mold-breaking Disney princess, Fa Mulan.
