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.
