 * Moana : Moana (2016 film)
 * I have chosen to evaluate this article because I am a big Disney fan. I think its important for young girls to see a diverse group of princesses with different cultural backgrounds because those are some of their earlier role models. I know I had a favorite princess, but there was only one that resembled me. Moana is one of my favorite Disney movies by far.
