Who is your favorite Disney character?
My favorite Disney character is Moana because she is brave, determined, and follows her heart by harnessing the strength of her ancestors and family. In her story, she could have easily turned her back on her family or on her calling to explore the ocean, but she did neither. She looked inside herself and found the answers that led her on her journey, ultimately becoming the hero that her village needed.
