In Moana, they chose to represent girl who was also a leader at heart, not some damsel to be rescued, and who carried herself with strength and willpower, even facing overwhelming odds. Following in the footsteps of Frozen, it wasn't based on a romance but on an individual's relationship to herself and on the struggle between forging one's own path and one's responsibilities to the family and community. Maui, as a trickster deity, is subject to both great successes and great (sometimes hilarious) failures within Pacific Islander mythology; he was kept accessible for children, but still shown as a powerful being in his own right.
In my opinion, Moana was a lovely movie with an empowering message.

Persons interested in learning more about the culture within the movie may research it. But this is a movie intended for kids and they just want a movie that holds their attention. The songs, the colours and all the characters were wonderful in doing so.

On another note, I once encountered a class of children in Hawaii (at least half of which were of Polynesian descent) all singing songs from the movie. Not that an absolute judgment could be drawn from this one example, but it seemed to me that they had a positive opinion of the film.
