Outdoor Family Movie at Ginty Field Today

Got kids who are bored? Head over to Ginty Field tonight. The Township of Morris Department of Parks and Recreation is showing the 2012 Disney animated movie Wreck It Ralph as part of its free Family Movie Night program. Movie time is at dusk, approximately 8:45 pm.  This movie is rated G.

Bring the whole family, blankets, lawn chairs, and snacks to enjoy this free Big Screen outdoor movie, said the Township. Arrive early for some fun and games with the summer staff at 7:30 p.m. plus Summit Soundz will take pre-show musical requests beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The 2013 Free Summer Movie Nights are sponsored by Attentive Dental Care of Morristown.

Here’s a blurb about the movie from the Township:

In this film, an 8-bit video-game character attempts to shed his bad-guy image by escaping into a popular first-person shooter, but inadvertently wreaks havoc in the video-game universe by freeing a digital villain who can only be contained with the help of a most unlikely ally in this colorful animated adventure. Wreck-It Ralph is the arch nemesis of Fix-It Felix, one of the most beloved video-game icons of all time. 

In a noble bid to prove he is more than the sum of his programming, Ralph sneaks from his cozy retro home into a highly advanced combat game featuring battle-hardened soldier Sergeant Calhoun, and strives to prove his bravery

Can’t make it to this one? ON Aug. 24, the township will show Ghostbusters (Live Action – Rated PG) to coincide with the Park and Recreation Department’s second annual ‘Family Camp-Out Night’ at Ginty Field.
