The ArcLight Cinemas will be the House of Mouse this August -- and it’s old-school Mouse.
The three ArcLight locations -- in Hollywood, Sherman Oaks and Pasadena -- will screen 14 films from the Disney library that span five decades, including “Cinderella,” “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” “Mary Poppins,” “The Jungle Book,” “Peter Pan” and “The Black Hole.”
Continue to the second page of this post for a full list of the films, by location.
The ArcLight Hollywood will feature live-action Disney films with a sci-fi and adventure tilt; the ArcLight Sherman Oaks will present true classics from Disney’s vault of animated features; and the newest ArcLight location, in Pasadena, will dig into Disney musicals.
The theaters in Sherman Oaks and Pasadena will also feature an exhibit of classic posters, including vintage artifacts from the the Walt Disney Archives collection, from July 14 to Aug. 31.
Also, at each screening, there will be Disney trivia and prizes courtesy of D23, the official Disney fan club.
Fans can reserve, buy and print tickets at the ArcLight website. Tickets are $12.50 for the shows at ArcLight Sherman Oaks and Pasadena, and ArcLight Hollywood screenings are $13.50.
ArcLight members will receive $1 off each ticket purchased online and printed at home.
