Why everyone is going crazy over Moana, the next disney princess?

Moana, Disney's upcoming feature set 2,000 years ago in the South Pacific, doesn't come out until 2018, but that hasn't stopped fan artists from sketching up their own visions of the film's seafaring princess.

Only one piece of Moana concept art has been seen online so far, but it was quickly pulled by Disney on the grounds that it wasn’t an official release. Still, that was all fans needed to inspire their own Moana fanworks.

 Here are a few of the pieces that have popped up on Tumblr and deviantART:
