So Disney's Moana has been CAST
about a year before the film hits theaters
and SHOCKER
it is NOT Fifth Harmony's Dinah Jane Hensen
which is probably going to devastate her fans
as they felt she had this role in the bag!
Why did they feel that way?
Well when you think back to it, there wasn't a lot of evidence that she did.
She had just posted a photo of herself hanging out at Dwayne Johnson's house
which she deleted
because he's voicing the character of Maui
a demi-god in the film
people felt they were getting cozy because they'd soon be working together!
He also invited her to the premiere of his film San Andreas.
But that really the only evidence that she had the role
but still fans believed!
And Fifth Harmony has a surprising amount of fans.
They're kind of like the female equivalent of One Direction.
Not quite at that level, but gaining.
But anyway, during the D23 Expo
people were just waiting on pins and needles for that announcement to be made
that Dinah Jane Hensen is Moana!
And she's kind of like - if you're not familiar with her
she's a little bit like the Hawaiian version, I guess you could say
of Beyonce!
So I think she would've brought a lot of star power
to Moana, and perhaps Disney felt they had enough star power
with Dwayne Johnson again voicing the demi-god Maui
in the film.
And also they have a long history at Disney of not
having name talent voice a Disney Princess.
