Walt Disney has renamed its upcoming animated feature Moana in Italy, calling it Oceania.
The change has most in Italy believing that one of the country’s most beloved porn stars, the late Moana Pozzi, was the reason behind the change.
A Disney source in California said only “the studio frequently changes titles in foreign territories for a wide variety of reasons.”
Secondhand sources claim the film’s directors confirmed the late porn star’s influence at this year's Annecy Festival.
The film will be released as Oceania in Italy on Dec. 22, referring to the region of islands in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
Practically speaking, the media agrees, Disney Italy would be smart to avoid minors doing a Google image search for "Moana" in Italy.
Her fame grew after her first A-level porn film, Fantastica Moana, and she eventually passed the success of Italy’s favorite porn star (and one-time Jeff Koons spouse) Cicciolina. »
