Outdoor Movie Idea: How to Train Your Dragon
The DreamWorks Animation film How to Train Your Dragon would make a great selection for your next outdoor movie screening! Outside of the Shrek series, the film is DreamWork's most successful animation to date. It has already become a favorite of children everywhere, and so screening it under the stars with your Open Air Cinema Elite System would guarantee a large turnout - and would tell your community that you are up on what's cool. Alternatively, How to Train Your Dragon is a perfect choice for a backyard cinema screening on your OAC Home System with your family, as it is a movie the entire family will enjoy. And if you have the resources, why not screen the animation in 3D as an outdoor movie, as was done in New York earlier this year with Monsters vs. Aliens! Here is the theatrical release trailer for the film:
Outdoor Movie Idea: Lord of The Rings Trilogy
<em>The Lord of the Rings</em> film trilogy (based on the three-volume book by J. R. R. Tolkien) is an excellent choice for your next outdoor movie film-series! The films are the fifth highest grossing film series of all time (behind Harry Potter, James Bond, Star Wars, and Shrek), and is highly critically acclaimed with the winning of 17 academy awards (out of a whopping 30 nominations). The series was considered one of the most ambitious undertakings in filmmaking history, and created millions of new Tolkien fans. Here is the theatrical release trailer for the third film, Return of the King:
Outdoor Movie Idea: The Jungle Book
A great selection for your next Outdoor Movie screening would be The Jungle Book, the 1967 animation by Disney. Since its release, the film has inspired millions of children worldwide, with its classic Disney musical narrative featuring classics such as "The Bare Necessities" and "I Wan'na Be Like You". The Jungle Book was the 19th animation from Disney Animation Studios, and shows a craft in animation that is no longer had by contemporary animation such as Monsters Inc. or Toy Story. The film was the last to be produced by Walt Disney himself, who died during production of it. Before we go on any further, here is a clip from the film featuring the well-loved song "Bare Necessities", where Mowgli is taught to be a little more laid back by his good friend Baloo:
