it was so great that they finally used a legit kid to play a princess whos supposed ot be a teen! she sounds great and is so good and it makes me so happy. super talented for so young, cant wait to see what else this girl does!

I'm so happy that they actually set out to find new talent (and an actual Polynesian, too!). Disney could've gone with any of their numerous stars (Dove Cameron, Olivia Holt, etc.), but I'm glad they took the high road.
