Wish Cinema Treat
The Arc Cinema in Beeston generously provided a full cinema screening, 155 seats, on Sunday 17th March to When You Wish Upon a Star families of Universal Pictures - Migration. The families were greeted by When You Wish Upon a Star mascot Wish Bear and a host of superheroes including Batman, Spiderman and more. It was a wonderful fun filled event with bountiful popcorn and drinks, goodie bags and tombola as well as a screening.
Migration, an animated adventure comedy film distributed by Universal Pictures. Directed by Benjamin Renner, with co-direction by Guylo Homsy, and produced by Chris Meledandri, the screenplay, crafted by Mike White, unfolds a captivating story created by White and Renner. The stellar voice cast includes Kumail Nanjiani, Elizabeth Banks, Keegan-Michael Key, Awkwafina, and Danny DeVito.
Migration is a whimsical journey following a family of mallards, determined to persuade their overly protective father to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. Their ambitious migration takes them from New England, through the bustling streets of New York City, all the way to the vibrant landscapes of Jamaica.
