Interactive Movie: A Goofy Movie
Saturday, March 18, 2023
2:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Enjoy an interactive screening of the 90's classic movie, A Goofy Movie (1995). An interactive movie is a showing of a movie game that presents gameplay in a cinematic, scripted manner—often through the use of full-motion animated video or live-action footage. Attendees will get a small bag of props at the beginning of the movie to interact with during scripted times.
Though Goofy always means well, his amiable cluelessness and klutzy pratfalls regularly embarrass his awkward adolescent son, Max. When Max's lighthearted prank on his high school principal finally gets his longtime crush, Roxanne, to notice him, he asks her on a date. Max's trouble at school convinces Goofy that he and the boy need to bond over a cross-country fishing trip like the one he took with his dad when he was Max's age, which throws a kink in his son's plans to impress Roxanne.
Age 5 and up.
