Journey alongside Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, and the Fellowship as they begin their quest to destroy the One Ring and thwart the dark power of Sauron. Don’t miss this rare big-screen showing of a modern fantasy classic!
An ancient Ring thought lost for centuries has been found, and through a strange twist of fate is bequeathed to a small Hobbit named Frodo. When Gandalf discovers the Ring is, in fact, the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, Frodo must make an epic quest to Mount Doom in order to destroy it. However, he does not go alone. Frodo is joined by Gandalf the Wizard, Legolas the Elf, Gimli the Dwarf, the men Aragorn and Boromir, and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin, and Samwise. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers, and plains, facing evil and danger at every corner, the Fellowship of the Ring must go. Their quest to destroy the One Ring is the only hope for the end of the Dark Lord’s intended reign over Middle Earth.

In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.
Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.
