Disney's newest princess is also it's first Polynesian princess. Moana will be introduced to movie-goers next year will be voiced by Auli'i Cravalho, Disney announced Wednesday.

The company chose 14-year-old Hawaiian Auli'l Cravahlo for the South Pacific role about a spirited teen who takes to the seas to find the long-lost island that can connect her to ancestors, according to Entertainment Weekly.

"From baby time to now, I wanted to be a Disney princess and then I wanted to be a singer or an actress," native of Oahuan, Cravalho told People Magazine.

"When I was little, I used to dance around the house singing at the top of my lungs. In my mind, that was performing and I loved the feeling of it. But I never imagined being in a Disney movie, being Moana – representing my culture that way," Cravalho said in a news release.

When Cravahlo sang at a charity event, she caught the attention of a casting agent in Oahu, Hawaii even though the 14-year-old actually thought she wasn't good enough to audition, according to People Magazine.

"I was getting through my freshman year, and there were already so many great submissions over YouTube," Cravahlo said.  

The filmmakers auditioned hundreds of young women from the Pacific Islands, USA Today reported.

Fortunately destiny intervened in the form of an Oahu casting agent and Cravahlo was flown to Los Angeles, where the directors cast her to star with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

"To tell a story inspired by the South Pacific is truly a great honor," said Dwayne Johnson who part Samoan, according to USA Today.

The film is set to open in theaters Nov. 23, 2016.
