i found out last night that theyre dubbing (dubbed?) moana in hawaiian w auli’i reprising the role so thats interesting 

I’ve seen some of the behind the scenes stuff for this and Auli’i talks a lot about how it’s been helping her get more engrossed in her native language.

Also they rewrote “You’re welcome” because of the structure of Hawaiian is very particular about the varied meanings of that idiom so the lyrics in English don’t make any sense. It’s very cool.
