She chooses to become a brave, forward-thinking leader who respects the traditions of her people rather than the stereotypical princess that needs to be rescued. A newcomer, Auli’l Cravalho, is the voice for Moana who teams up with a muscled demigod named Maui, voice by Dwayne Johnson, to right an ancient wrong. By returning a magical stone to its resting place, Moana and Maui will stop the Pacific Islands and Moana’s home from being plagued as they have been since the stone disappeared.

The old hag transforms herself into a beautiful enchantress, and the prince begs for her forgiveness. Having already seen that the prince has no love in his heart, she transforms him into a hideous beast and his servants into household objects. She reveals that the rose is enchanted and if the beast has not found love in his heart and someone to return it by the time the last rose petal falls off, he will remain a beast forever and his servants would remain household objects.
