I don’t think it would offend anyone… I would do it. It’s what she wants and Moana is / was a very big movie so it’s not coming outta no where or anything
If someone is offended by what a 2 year old likes, then they should just stay home.
Lol. Where have we gone so wrong that a two year old’s birthday party could be offensive? Ridiculous.
She’s a Disney princess…. Do you ask about culture appreciation for Cinderella? Let your kid enjoy the princess she likes.
Do what makes your kid happy. You’ll never be able to make everyone happy. And that’s ok.
oh geez!!! see adults are the only ones that create anxiety in children over race. Let her have the damn party. You can’t tell little girls they can be anything they want to be …except this and this and this…and no not that. 
Can’t believe this is a question 
She’s 2. Let her have a Moana party.
Have the party she would want. Make her happy and forget everyone else.
Give her what she wants and don’t worry about what people think
No way!! You give her a moana party!! With lays and grass skirts etc…. Do your thang for your baby girl momma!!!
Yes she can, absolutely. Moana is a Disney character and she’s a good role model too. You could even take some time to learn about the culture with your daughter while planning the party!
My daughters Asian and she had a Frozen party. I dont see how it can be offensive if anything it’s a honor your child finds moana an inspiration x
My kids rocked the crap out of the theme!! They’re children for crying out loud 
What have I just read!
Do it. Shouldn’t even be a question.
Wait…this is a serious question?..what has the world come to?…give that baby whatever party she wants!!!
The majority of people really are not snowflakes. Do what makes her happy. It’s her birthday. If someone complains about it, write them off. Who needs people that would be THAT sensitive.
Who cares what ppl think? Its a kids party… She wants Moana so be it. Get everything Moana??
Yes do it Mama she so adorable inside and out let her have the party she wants
We did a moana party for my daughters birthday one year. Considering she’s a Disney princess I don’t think it’s quite the same thing as appropriation. I mean her face is on more than half the decorations also as far as princesses go, moana is one of the best to look up to anyways.
Enabling your child’s Imagination has nothing to do with cultural appropriation.
Give he a gigantic one and don’t worry about the cry babies just care about your own baby
The dumbest question
Give her the Moana party!!!
Fuck what people think are you kidding me?! Do what you want!!
Yes she can. Give her the best party ever and love every second of it, because she will. 
She’s going to be 2. It’s not cultural appropriation, it’s giving a little girl a party with a Disney theme based on a character she absolutely loves
She’s 2! If she likes that “princess” than you throw her that “princess” party! It’s all about HER happiness!
We’ve had 2 Moana parties and dressed up as all of them for Halloween.
If someone is truly offended by it i can assume they wont even show up. So let your baby girl have her day and be happy!! Happy Birthday
Stacey Solomon done one for rex on his birthday x
thank you for the consideration 
you should be good
Did you really ask that? Do what makes your daughter happy no one else!
Oh goodness. Let that baby girl have the Moana party!
I did moanna for my daughter’s 2nd birthday a few years ago. And she loved it!! And that’s all that matters. 
Give that baby a Moana birthday party!!!
For Pete’s sake, let that baby have her Moana party. 
So you’re willing to sacrifice her joy so someone else doesn’t get offended? If they get offended over a kids birthday party theme then they need help.
Are you asking a serious question here? She’s a child she can have what ever she wants no matter what colour, race or religion… its cartoons for crying out loud wise up woman
Wait whats offensive about moana?
Hold on . Let me go ask Dora the explorer…
Umm, yes! It’s her party. It is for her!
Have the birthday party🙄
Who cares ! Your daughter loves Moana you do Moana ! If she wants to dress up as her for Halloween you let her do that too ! Don’t let uptight snowflakes ruin the fun! they don’t have to attend if there gunna be all sensitive about it 
Someone.is always.offended about something.she is your baby
Go for it!
My daughter picked Doc McStuffins for her 4th birthday cake. That’s what she picked, so that is what she got.
And we are white.
You’re there to celebrate your daughter, not everyone else.
People are gonna say what people are gonna say!. Give her that Moana party and don’t even think about who all may be offended! Have a great party for your baby!!
Who cares… give her what she wants.
We had a Moana party for my daughter!
Do what makes your kid happy. If anyone is offended about making a two year old happy they need to reevaluate their life👌
I’d do it. But my husband is also being Maui for Halloween and me moana so. 
. Idc what people think
This was a really thoughtful question:yellow_heart: I think where people go wrong with appropriation is they make costumes out of culture and /or they don’t credit the original source , thus they haven’t chosen to learn the real meaning. I think a themed party would be okay. But I wouldnt ritual or chant. Thanks for the discussion 
My daughter loves moana so we did moana one year it’s not a cultural thing I even got her the little dress to wear.
It should be about your daughter, not about offending people.
Have that baby’s birthday in Moana fuck what anyone says seriously. Kids are allowed to love and enjoy who ever the fuck they want. Don’t let miserable adults ruin it.
Mine had a peppa pig theme🤷🏻♀ not one offended english pig came knocking on my door😋
I personally don’t see anyway that it could be cultural appropriation as long as you keep it themed to the movie. If you try to do costumes that “look maui” instead of the way the princess is dressed or the other characters then maybe you might offend someone. I think you should be fine though!!
Throw the party! Do what your little wants for her bday and don’t worry about what anyone says. Lol 
She’s your child you make that decision! Who cares what anyone else thinks as long as your daughters happy that’s all that matters!
Cartoon characters can’t get offended! Make her happy! Do the Moana theme
Seriously?! Have the party your daughter loves. They are kids nobody cares and if they do tell them to leave kids dont need all that nonsense.
If you need decorations cheap check into the Oriental Trading company.
Absolutely! Do what makes her happy
Excuse my language but fuck everyone else. Do what makes your child happy. We did a princess and the frog themed birthday and we are white. It does not matter. Do what puts a smile on your babies face.
The only thing people usually get offended by is cow boys and Indian themes. Halloween or birthdays tho from where I’m from u just do what ur kid wants an doesn’t matter what ur doing its a kids party
We’ve absolutely lost our minds.
Unless you plan on being disrespectful or hateful, have any party she wants. 
Is the movie offensive? Then the party shouldn’t be. And people need to chill and stop being snowflakes. Hope she has the best party ever.
I can not believe I am reading this… is your daughter was taking a moana themed party give her one any one with a brain cell would not be offended x
What? Have what your daughter wants! Stop worrying about the world
Do it… if someone is offended then they don’t need to be in your life much less your daughters life you don’t need someone like that influencing your daughter to think like them. Let her have her party and be a kid!
You better give her her Moana birthday and come back after the birthday and post the pictures so we can all see how much she enjoyed her day . I cant believe you came on social media and asked if it was okay .
Who cares it’s for her no one else
It’s not cultural appropriation to have a Disney character themed birthday party.
You can’t be freaking serious??? Are you freaking serious??? This shit is out of control!!! Do whatever tf you want to do for crying out loud!!
I say go for it if it makes her happy 
surely there’s no judgement on a kids birthday party. And also why not celebrate her special day with her fav characters. We all do it with superman, Batman, Cinderella etc
The actress who played Moana came out publicly and said something along the lines of let the little girls dress up as Moana, she considers it a compliment that someone would want to be her in all her native/islander glory!
If your worried about how people will think of you more than your child happiness maybe you don’t need the child.
Its sad to see what social media is doing to people. This should not even be considered offensive. Go ahead and have the party - your little girl will LOVE it.
If she wants Moana then she gets to have Moana. It’s her birthday and kids don’t give a crap about being PC.
It’s a CARTOON people PLEASE grow up !!! She can be do anything there is no such thing as culturally stealing something or African American men & women wouldn’t have white peoples straight hair.
Let her have the party she wants🤦♀️
Yes your child can have the party. Dressing like Moana is the questionable part, but she’s a child and Moana us a character
If my baby wanted a Moana themed party, we’d have a Moana themed party! And if someone was “too offended” to come, then so be it! You’re only 2 once…have the Moana party!
I’m saddened that you feel the need to ask that question - what have we even become ?
Is this a serious question ?
And that’s on cancel culture
This is the most ridiculous question. Have we really come to this?
The only thing offensive about this question is that you have to ask if it’s offensive lol
Let that baby have whatever bday party theme she wants!!!
My Son wants a Selena. Theme bday party OFCOURSE I’m gonna throw a Selena party u kidding me lifetime memories I never had my dream parties I’m going to give them what I couldn’t have 
my kids , my life my choice I don’t care what the world says 
Maybe hire a Moana to come to her party?
Good job mama for asking, when in doubt. I asked myself the same question bc our son wanted a Maui/Moana themed party. We had his desired party. We chose not to dress him as Maui. He had a great time!
Have her moana theme party & dress her up as moana if she wishes to!
Considering Auli’i Cravalho, (the girl who does the voice for Moana) feels that it’s completely appropriate for girls to dress up as Moana for Halloween, I’m pretty sure she’d say the same thing for a birthday theme…
This is my daughter at her moana party two days ago!
Girl, Disney is not a culture 
Give that baby her Moana party 
Girl do what ever makes your child happy f.uc.k what other people think. It’s thier job to control their emotions not yours. Live your life the way you want and do what you want to make your child/children happy!!
Oh good lord. This is why I can’t stand PC culture. Give the poor kid a Moana birthday party
