Fallon Theatre: Pair of family-friendly flicks on schedule

Coming your way this weekend as we have two fun, family-friendly flicks.

Kicking it off with our 6 p.m. movie on both Friday and Saturday we have the 1994 remake of “The Little Rascals,” rated PG. “The Little Rascals” franchise began in 1922 as a series of silent short subject films, moving into sound in 1929 and continuing until 1944. The story chronicles the zany antics of a group of neighborhood children.

Our 7 p.m. film for Friday and Saturday is “My Neighbor Totoro,” a 1988 Studio Ghibli favorite, rated G. This animated family comedy tells the tale of two young girls who move into the country with their father and encounter wondrous forest spirits living nearby.

 Often regarded as one of the best animated family films of all time, My Neighbor Totoro was released in Japan in 1988 but was redubbed and re-released in the US in 2006.

Looking ahead into August, we’ll be participating in the 10th annual Community Reunion with a free concert on Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. with River Rogue, open-house theatre tours on Aug. 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and community karaoke from 2 to 4 p.m.

Also, don’t miss our annual summer fundraising 5K fun run/walk on Aug. 24 — The Cantaloupe Canter. Early registration and sponsorship forms can be found on our website, fallontheatre.com. This event begins in front of the Indoor Pool, 333 Sheckler Road, and is a traditional event to help celebrate the Fallon Cantaloupe Festival and Country Fair which is held Aug. 23-25.
