We’ve got three great family-friendly movies coming your way in February. Each movie will be followed by a short crafting session for the children. Plan to attend these films in the coming month!
The Iron Giant
- Wednesday, February 6
- 3:00 p.m.
- An enormous robot has come from deepest space, crash-landed on Earth, and followed eleven-year-old Hogarth Hughes home. Now, young Hogarth has one big friend and an even bigger problem: How do you keep a secret that’s 50 feet tall? Especially when a paranoid government agent is on the “alien invader’s” trail, bringing with him the full might of the U.S. military to destroy the giant. Rated PG; 1 hour, 26 minutes.
Snow Dogs
- Wednesday, February 13
- 3:00 p.m.
- When Miami dentist Ted Brooks learns that his birth mother has passed away and that he was named in her will, he travels to Alaska to claim his inheritance. Rather than the large chunk of change that many people would expect, Ted instead receives his mother’s pack of rowdy sled dogs and her property. Although the dogs seemingly have it in for Ted, he decides to keep the dogs and race them in the local race, the Arctic Challenge, spiting a mountain man who wants the dogs. What follows is a comedy detailing Ted’s adventures in learning to run the sled dogs. Rated PG; 1 hour, 39 minutes.
Cool Runnings
- Wednesday, February 27
- 3:00 p.m.
- When Jamaican sprinter Derice Bannock is disqualified from the Olympic Games due to a silly accident, he envisions the chance to participate in the bobsled category. He meets dishonored coach Irving Blitzer, who is living in the tropical country after two gold medals and elimination due to cheating, and convinces him to coach the first Jamaican bobsled team. They form a group with push-cart driver Sanka Coffie, sprinter Yul Brenner and rich Junior Bevil and without any sponsor, fly to Calgary, Alberta, Canada to participate of the XV Olympic Winter Games. Rated PG; 1 hour, 38 minutes.
