Summer KidFest Movies 2026:


Lady & The Tramp - Sun, July 12, 2026 11:30 am

From candlelit spaghetti dinners to frantically evading dog-capture, Lady and the Tramp is one of Disney’s most enduring adventures. Set in a cozy New England town, the film pairs Lady—a pampered cocker spaniel struggling to find her place in the home after her owners have a baby—with Tramp, a streetwise stray who lives entirely by his own rules. What begins as an unlikely meeting turns into a whirlwind tour through the city’s hidden corners, as Tramp introduces Lady to life beyond the safety of her backyard. But danger is never far behind, whether it’s the menace of the dog pound, a pack of troublemaking strays, or the chaos waiting back at home. Filled with gorgeous hand-drawn animation, comic set pieces, and one of the most iconic scenes in movie history, Lady and the Tramp captures the excitement of first love while embracing the scrappy unpredictability of the ‘Bella Notte”.


Jason and the Argonauts - Tue, July 14, 2026 11:30 am

Long before CGI armies and digital monsters took over movie screens, Jason and the Argonauts delivered mythic spectacle the old-fashioned way: one frame at a time. Equal parts adventure serial and fantasy epic, Jason and the Argonauts has inspired generations of filmmakers, from George Lucas and Sam Rami to Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro. Directed by Don Chaffey (Pete’s Dragon) and brought to life by special effects legend Ray Harryhausen, the film transforms Greek mythology into a swashbuckling fantasy adventure. The film follows Jason, as he assembles a crew of legendary heroes and sails aboard the Argo in search of the Golden Fleece, a mystical artifact that can reclaim his rightful throne. Along the journey, the Argonauts face harpies, a bronze giant, a multi-headed Hydra, and, in the film’s most famous sequence, an army of sword-fighting skeletons animated through Harryhausen’s groundbreaking stop-motion wizardry.


The Sword in the Stone - Thu, July 16, 2026 11:30 am

Before he became King Arthur, he was just “Wart” — a scrawny, good-hearted kid getting knocked around the castle grounds and dreaming of something bigger. The Sword in the Stone takes the legend of Camelot and turns it into one of Disney’s most playful and eccentric animated adventures, filled with wizard duels, talking animals, and lessons that arrive in the most unexpected ways. Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman (whose final Disney features was 1981’s The Fox and the Hound) and based loosely on the novel by T. H. White, the film follows young Wart after he falls under the mentorship of the absent-minded but powerful wizard Merlin. Rather than teaching with books and lectures, Merlin transforms Wart into fish, squirrels, and birds, throwing him headfirst into chaotic adventures designed to prepare him for the future. Released over 60-years ago, The Sword in the Stone has endured as a wonderfully oddball entry in the Disney canon. But, beneath all the magic and comedy is a timeless coming-of-age story about curiosity, kindness, and discovering greatness where one least expects it.


Spy Kids - Tue, July 7, 2026 11:30 am

Released in 2001, Spy Kids launched one of the most beloved family franchises of the early 2000s and showcased director Robert Rodriguez’s ability to blend wildly imaginative, all-ages entertainment with the inventive filmmaking style that had already made him a cult favorite. Crafted in the wake of Rodriguez’s hard-edged hits, Spy Kids blended James Bond-style gadgetry, cartoon energy, and heartfelt family dynamics into a fast-paced adventure that became an instant favorite for a generation of moviegoers. The film follows siblings Carmen and Juni Cortez, played by Alexa PenaVega and Daryl Sabara, who discover that their seemingly ordinary parents are actually retired secret agents. When their mom and dad (portrayed by Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino) are kidnapped by an eccentric villain (Tony Shalhoub) plotting world domination through an army of robotic children, the kids must step into the spy world themselves to save the day. Featuring a colorful supporting cast that includes Alan Cumming, Cheech Marin, Teri Hatcher, and Danny Trejo in his first appearance as the legendary “Machete”, the film became an unexpected box office smash and launched a franchise of sequels and spin-offs. Join us in celebrating the 25th anniversary of this inventive, action-packed family film.


The Muppets (2011) - Thu, July 9, 2026 11:30 am

Marking a triumphant return to the big screen for Jim Henson’s beloved troupe of felt-and-fur icons, The Muppets reintroduced a new generation to the magic, music, and heartfelt chaos that made these lovable mischief-makers icons of the 1970s and ‘80s. Directed by James Bobin and written by lifelong Muppet devotee Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, the film follows small-town brothers Gary (Segel) and Walter — the world’s biggest Muppet fan — along with Gary’s girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams), as they discover that greedy oil tycoon Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) plans to demolish the Muppet Theater. To save their historic home, Walter and friends reunite Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and the rest of the gang for one last all-star telethon.
