Sensory Friendly Screening: A Bug's Life

Come spend an hour at the Little Cinema watching a family friendly film in a quiet and dim theater! These screenings are specially designed for families and children with sensory needs and those who have difficulty in a traditional movie screening setting.

During this screening:

- projection brightness will be reduced and can be adjusted for audience comfort

- the volume of the film's audio will be turned down

- dim house lights will be on during the performance so guests can see their surroundings and move around the theater

- a guide from BEAR will show families to a quiet, darkened space outside the theater as needed

- closed captioning will be available upon request.

Recommended for ages 3 to 6.

"A Bug’s Life"

Flik (Dave Foley) is an inventive ant who’s always messing things up for his colony. His latest mishap was destroying the food stores that were supposed to be used to pay off grasshopper Hopper (Kevin Spacey). Now the strong-arming insect is demanding that the ants gather double the food — or face annihilation. To avert disaster, Flik goes on a journey to recruit fighters to defend the colony. When he meets a band of high-flying circus insects, he thinks he’s found his salvation.

Animation, G, 1 hr.35 min., 1998
