ORIGINAL POST

The Maui Arts & Cultural Center will present a free showing of Zootopia for its Starry Night Cinema event this month on Saturday, July 23, outdoors in the A&B Amphitheater. The film starts at 7:30 p.m.; gates open 6 p.m.

Maui families are invited to another evening of free family fun, featuring, Disney’s animated hit.

The brilliantly well-rounded Zootopia offers a thoughtful, inclusive message that’s as rich and timely as its sumptuous state-of-the-art animation—all while remaining fast and funny enough to keep younger viewers entertained.

From the largest elephant to the smallest shrew, the city of Zootopia is a mammal metropolis where various animals live and thrive.

When Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) becomes the first rabbit to join the police force, she quickly learns how tough it is to enforce the law. Determined to prove herself, Judy jumps at the opportunity to solve a mysterious case.

Unfortunately, that means working with Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a wily fox who makes her job even harder.

Live pre-show music will be performed by Brad Kahikina. There will also be a thematic art-making project for the keiki, courtesy of The MACC’s Schaefer International Gallery.

Adults can enter a drawing to win MACC show tickets.

Movie food and snacks will be available from Sumo Dogs, Belle Surf Café, Maui Kazowie Kettlecorn and Rosa’s Catering, along with a range of hot and cold beverage options. Click here for the menu.

The film is rated PG and has a running time of 108 minutes.

Moviegoers should bring blankets, mats or low-backed beach chairs and claim their space on the MACC’s expansive A&B Amphitheater lawn. No coolers or outside food/beverages will be allowed into the venue.

If the weather turns rainy or windy, the movie will be shown indoors in Castle Theater on a first-come/first seated basis.

Starry Night Cinema is a free community event presented by the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, with support by the County of Maui and Maui Film Festival.
