Auliʻi Cravalho, the actor who voices Moana in Disney's animated franchise of the same name, recently told People magazine that the money she earned off the success of the original 2016 film allowed her to buy a house for her mother.

Cravalho shot to fame in 2016 after voicing the lead in "Moana," Disney's highest-grossing animated princess movie other than the "Frozen" titles. She was 16 when it premiered — and told People that before the movie, she was living on food stamps.

Auliʻi Cravalho — the voice behind the title character of the animated film “Moana 2” — recently revealed the big way she showed love to her mother, Puanani Cravalho, after the release of the first movie in 2016.
