ALREADY KNOWN: Dwayne Johnson (Samoan)........Maui Auli'i Cravalho (Hawaiian).....Moana NEW: Temuera Morrison (Maori).......Chief Tui Nicole Scherzinger (Hawaiian)..Sina Jemaine Clement (Maori)........Tamatoa Rachel House (Maori)...........Gramma Tala With Taika Waititi (Maori) as one of the writers this should be a good and well represented movie. No whitewashing voices here-haha. Only complaint is both Maui and Chief Tui characters are stereotypically very overweight. Ironically the real Polynesian actors that portray these characters are in good shape. [ Edited by: creativenative 2016-08-22 16:09 ]
