No, Princess Moana is not black. Moana, who is the titular character in the 2016 Disney animated movie of the same name, is of Polynesian heritage. Her story is inspired by the tales of Polynesian seafarers and her home island of Motunui is based on multiple real-world locations from the Pacific Islands region.
She was once an official Disney Princess, until 2004. She was removed because her sales were financially disappointing. Along with it, Disney found it difficult to market her to younger children, due to the fact that she is represented with more mature themes in comparison to the other princesses.
Inspired by Polynesian mythology, Moana is depicted as the strong-willed daughter of a chief of a Polynesian village, who is chosen by the ocean itself to reunite a mystical relic with the goddess Te Fiti.
