Movies Under the Stars returns this Friday, April 22, 2022, with Zootopia. This movie will be shown at Mallard Junction Park, 599 August Drive, Lake Charles, at 6:30 pm., be sure to get there early to get the best spots.
This 2016 Disney comedy-adventure is set in the mammal metropolis of Zootopia where walking, talking animals live in peace with one another. When small-town rabbit Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) gets to live her dream of becoming the first rabbit to join the Zootopia Police Department, Police Chief Bogo (Idris Elba) initially saddles her with a boring parking-duty assignment. But one day on the job, Judy meets sly fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), who winds up working with her to solve a case that helps her keep her badge (Rated PG).
Residents are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets. Residents may also bring their own food, but vendors will be on hand. There will also be free popcorn and cotton candy.
In the event of inclement weather, the film will be canceled. Cancellations will be announced by CPPJ on their website and social media pages.
