His change of mind on New Zealand's haka – which he initially branded "ridiculous" earlier this month – was just the latest inelegant public u-turn.

The trust consulted on many key moments that illustrate Moana’s culture as well as her character‘s growth: her participation in a kava ceremony for a new title, the further progression of her wayfinding abilities and her pivotal performance of a haka, a ceremonial dance and chant. “I’ve never done a haka before, so I was so into it,” said Cravalho of filming the scene.

Such is the strength of feeling that New Zealand's parliament was brought to a temporary halt last week by MPs performing a haka, or traditional dance, in opposition to the bill.

During a vote on the bill’s first reading on Thursday, the first step in passing a bill through Parliament, 22-year-old MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke led a haka in the chambers.

The haka in Parliament is one part of a wider outcry against the likely doomed bill.
