Movies & More -“The Little Rascals,” “My Neighbor Totoro,” and Remember the Community Reunion is Aug 16-17

Coming your way this weekend, July 26 and 27, are two fun, family-friendly flicks. Kicking it off with our 6 p.m. movie on both Friday and Saturday, we have the 1994 remake of “The Little Rascals,” rated PG. “The Little Rascals” franchise began back in 1922 as a series of silent short subject films, moving into sound in 1929 and continuing until 1944. The story chronicles the zany antics of a group of neighborhood children and has a runtime of 1 hour and 22 minutes.

The 7 p.m. film for Friday and Saturday is “My Neighbor Totoro,” a 1988 Studio Ghibli favorite rated G. This animated family comedy tells the tale of two young girls who move into the country with their father and encounter wondrous forest spirits living nearby. Often regarded as one of the best-animated family films ever, “My Neighbor Totoro” was released in Japan in 1988. It was later redubbed and re-released in the US in 2006. The runtime is 1 hour and 26 minutes.

Looking ahead into August is the 10th Annual Community Reunion. There will be a free concert on Friday, August 16, at 7 p.m. with River Rogue, open-house Theatre Tours on Saturday, August 17, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., and Community Karaoke from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. 

Also, don’t miss the annual summer fundraising 5K fun run/walk on the 24th - The Cantaloupe Canter. Early registration and sponsorship forms can be found on our website, fallontheatre.com.
