North Texas Studio Movie Grills to host cheap Summer movie series for kids

by John P. Meyer

Each week from June through August, kids can catch a different fabulous film for just $1.

Through the collaborative efforts of area Studio Movie Grills (specifically the ones in Arlington, Dallas, Lewisville and Plano) and North Texas Kids, those self-same North Texas kids and their families will have a chance to see a whole slew of fun feature films all summer long at a whopping big discount.

They're calling the program the Summer Children's Series, but considering the $1 admission price for kids (adults pay $2), we call it "a dirt cheap sweet deal."

Each Monday through Thursday at 11 a.m., beginning on June 8 and running straight through August 20, there'll be a new kid-friendly film in the lineup.

Here's a list of films to be featured:

JUNE:

Robots (June 8-11)

Because of Winn Dixie (June 15-18)

Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (June 22-25)

Happy Feet (June 29 - July 2)

JULY:

Horton Hears a Who (July 6-9)

Jimmy Neutron (July 13-16)

Kung Fu Panda (July 20-23)

Nim's Island (July 27-30)

AUGUST

Over the Hedge (Aug. 3-6)

Prince of Egypt (Aug. 10-13)
