Although the movies are free, you will still need to get a ticket for each movie. Tickets will become available on a first come, first serve basis at participating Cineplex locations on the morning of October 22nd.
It’s the perfect morning activity for a rainy and gloomy Vancouver morning! Zootopia, Inside Out, The Jungle Book and The Good Dinosaur are all animated family classics. The Finest Hours offers a more action-packed adventure about a daring rescue attempt on the stormy seas of Cape Cod.
