Moanais leaving Netflix — and a trail of broken hearts along with it.

Amazon PrimeoffersMoanafor $14.99. TheBlu-Ray and DVDare also available through Amazon.com.
The film recently sparkedcontroversy among parentsover whether dressing as the Polynesian princess or her pal Maui isculturally appropriate.
Auli’i Cravalho, the Hawaii-born actress who voices Moana, told PEOPLE in October she wanted fans to feel welcome to dress as the driven, strong-willed leading lady for Halloween.

“I think it’s absolutely appropriate,” Cravalho, 17, said. “It’s done in the spirit of love and for Disney and for the little ones who just want to dress up as their favorite heroine, I’m all for it.”
The teenager said she felt lucky thatMoanais part of a new wave of Disney heroines giving positive examples of female role models to young kids, although she said a lot has to do with theDisney princesses who came before.
“I think each of the Disney princesses are just pretty reflective of their time,” she said. “This day in age, we definitely need a heroine who is the hero of her own story, who journeys beyond what her parents have done, who breaks the mold.”
She added, “That’s what we need right now and hopefully what we will continue to see later on, but there’s still things to be learned from other Disney princesses that we’ve come from. It’s just like our parents: We’re not like our parents and yet we can see the similarities and differences. We can always be grateful for what we’ve learned from.”
