Cinema Del Ray: 'Cars'
Saturday outdoor film screening begins at dusk.
The 2006 computer-animated Disney-Pixar film “Cars” will be shown outdoors and free of charge Saturday in the field next to Mount Vernon Recreation Center.
Attendees can start showing up at 7 p.m. with the movie scheduled to begin at dusk.
Area Realtor Jen Walker sponsors the Cinema Del Ray screenings on the third Saturday of May, June, July and August.
Attendees are invited to bring blankets and lawn chairs to sit down and get comfortable for the movie. Popcorn, candy and soda will be for sale.
Pets are not permitted.
The film tells the story of cocky racecar Lightning McQueen’s fateful ride through the town of Radiator Springs. Speeding on his way to a big race, he crashes into town, destroying the belongings of many citizens. In order to make up for his error, the roadster is ordered to do community service. Initially averse to working, McQueen learns to respect the cars of Radiator Springs and bonds with them before making his way to the race.
The film features the voice talents of Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, Bonnie Hunt, George Carlin, Michael Keaton and Larry the Cable Guy.
Rolling Stone’s Peter Travers wrote that director John Lasseter “dishes out visual miracles with a quiet confidence that doesn't need to show off.
The G-rated film runs just under two hours. It grossed more than $461 million at the box office.
