The film “Dumbo” will be screened at Brand Park on Saturday, June 27. Gates open at 6 p.m. In addition, the movie “Wind in the Willows” from 1949 will be shown.  

These two films kick off the fourth season of summer series of monthly screenings under the stars in Glendale’s Brand Park. Admission is free. Guests should bring blankets, lawn or beach chairs for seating, and plenty of water or soft drinks to stay hydrated.

In the movie “Dumbo,” the main character is Jumbo Jr., an elephant who is ridiculed for his oversized ears and mockingly nicknamed “Dumbo.” His only friend, a mouse named Timothy, convinces him to fly, using his oversized ears as wings. 

Preceding the feature, Kenneth Grahame’s classic children’s novel “Wind in the Willows” will be shown. This short subject film is widely praised as one of Disney’s finest animation efforts from the era, featuring lush Technicolor backgrounds and expressive characters. The impulsive Mr. Toad’s misadventures with motorcars lead to his imprisonment and eventual rescue. Both Dumbo and Mr. Toads’ Wild Ride have remained popular theme park attractions.
