Join us for Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes Anderson’s stop-motion wonder returns! This family-friendly event promises an amazing evening of entertainment on Lowestoft’s seafront watching great film on the big screen.
Highlights of the Evening:
- Pre-Movie Fun: Arrive early to enjoy an exclusive screening of family friendly short films from this year’s Sunrise Film Festival that you won’t be able to see anywhere else, along with an intimate silent disco before the main movie starts.
- Drinks & Refreshments: Pop on over to the bar in the East Point Pavilion and treat yourself to a wide range of soft or alcoholic drinks.
- Best Picnic Blanket Competition: Show off your creative side by decorating your picnic blanket. The most creatively themed blanket will win a prize!
About the Movie:
A heist caper stitched with corduroy and velvet-pawed uprising; Fantastic Mr. Fox is as clever in spirit as it is in style. Joined by an all-star cast, including Meryl Streep, Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman, George Clooney’s smooth-talking Mr. Fox – a charismatic schemer with a taste for adventure and expertly toasted cider – cannot resist one more heist. What unfolds is a game of strategy and mischief at every turn as the Fox family fights to protect their home from the farmers’ revengeful pursuit. Whether it’s your first watch or a long-awaited re-watch, this beautifully scruffy tale feels as fresh and sharply crafted as ever.
