Disney's 'Moana' Renamed in Italy to Avoid Confusion With Porn Icon: Report
Last year, the Italian media reported that the Disney animated film Moana would change its international title to Oceania to avoid confusion with Italy's late, famed porn actress Moana Pozzi, who was also a political activist. And now, with more steam added to the reports, it may prove to be true.
It's common practice for studios to alter international titles to better market their films, and in Italy, the movie will go as Oceania, after the area where the story takes place. Moana's title character will now be called Vaiana, and in some countries, the movie itself will also go by Vaiana, according to Telegraph UK.
