The Polynesian-inspired animated film has been retitled as Oceania for its release in the European country next month. Italian media reports the name change is due to Moana Pozzi, a famous porn star who died in 1994 aged 33. A Twitter user alleged that the directors of the movie, Ron Clements and John Musker, had confirmed the Pozzi connection forced the name change. Moana stars Dwayne Johnson and local actors Temuera Morrison and Rachel House, and will be released in New Zealand on December 26.
