Moana Will Be the First Disney Princess Without a Love Interest: 'There Is No Romance in the Film'
When Disney's Moana hits theater this fall, romance won't be a part of the storyline.
The Polynesian animated character will be the first Disney princess to not have a love interest, the film's directors John Musker and Ron Clements, confirmed on Thursday during a panel event at Comic-Con 2016.
"There is no romance in the movie," Musker said, explaining that Moana's story will focus on her own personal journey.
