John Musker: This particular voice is the voice of Auli'i Cravalho's mother, Puanani. She's actually doing the voice here. John Lasseter was big on, "Let's give her a cameo in the movie if we can somewhere." And we had her in a few different spots. Ultimately, we wound up on this spot, so when she says, "She's doing great!" which she's about to say, there's a meta-aspect to that. Yeah, see, she's talking about her own daughter.

Ron Clements: Yeah, "My daughter, I'm very proud of her."

Found this lovely fact on Tumblr
