Disney Supports Beach Clean Up To Celebrate "Moana" on Disney+

Moana wants you to clean up the ocean.

Disney's live-action Moana is set to hit Disney+ very soon and Disney has found a great way to celebrate the milestone. It will help our real-life oceans by supporting a cleanup of Santa Monica Beach.

What's Happening:

  • Disney is partnering with non-profit Heal the Bay to sponsor a cleanup of Santa Monica Beach on October 17.
  • The event is entitled "Nothin' but Sand."
  • The event will also include a performance by Moana choreographer and associate producer Tiana Nonosina Liufau, associate choreographer Kayla Faʻamaligi, and members of the Nonosina dance troupe.
  • There will also be Moana-themed giveaways, treats, and a Moana tote bag for the first 300 volunteers.
  • Since 1985, Heal the Bay has worked to protect Los Angeles area watersheds through science, education, and advocacy.
  • Those looking to help out should meet at Tower 20 on Santa Monica Beach. The cleanup begins at 10 am.
  • Cleanup supplies will be provided, but it's recommended attendees bring their own in case supplies run out.
  • Attendees should also bring a reusable water bottle, sun protection, and comfortable closed-toe shoes.
  • The live-action Moana debuts on Disney+ on October 21.
