The countdown is on for the arrival of « Moana 2 » on the big screen this week with the courageous young heroine’s latest adventure.
Hualalai Chung plays « Moni », Moana’s new sidekick. Chung is Polynesian and comes from a Pacific Islander background.
« We grew up without having a film that represented us », he told ABC7 Chicago. « Then back in 2016, the original ‘Moana’ came out and we were all so beyond stoked to see so much of our culture represented on the big screen. »
Chung described the character « Moni » as everybody’s best friend.
« He’s whimsical. He’s warmhearted. He’s fun loving.
