Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson orchestrated a memorable cinematic experience for 700 schoolchildren, hiring out all nine screens at a Vue cinema in Colchester. The event was a surprise for students from St Gregory Primary School, who, along with their friends and families, were treated to the live-action Moana movie.

Pupils arrived in Moana costumes and T-shirts, finding their seats laden with chocolates, sweets, popcorn, and custom Moana cupcakes, alongside a signed poster from Johnson. The headteacher described the atmosphere as "perfect and incredible," with everyone "beaming and glowing."
The unique outing, which created lifelong memories, underscored Johnson's message of kindness and making a difference, inspiring the children by his example of generosity.
