About Zootopia 2
Hot off its theatrical run, Zootopia 2 arrives at our outdoor screen just in time for a summer night you won’t forget. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are back, this time navigating their most complicated and dangerous case yet — one that pulls back the curtain on the founding of Zootopia itself and forces them to question everything they thought they knew about the city they’ve sworn to protect.
The dynamic between the ever-optimistic bunny cop and the street-smart, wisecracking fox is sharper than ever, and the film introduces a wild new cast of characters that will have audiences laughing, gasping, and cheering out loud. With stunning animation that expands the world of Zootopia into dazzling new districts and corners of the city, this sequel is a visual feast perfectly suited for the big outdoor screen.
It’s the kind of movie that reminds us why we love going to the movies in the first place — big emotions, big laughs, and something genuinely meaningful underneath it all. Bring the whole family, come with high expectations, and prepare to fall in love with Zootopia all over again.
The city never sleeps, and neither will you after this one.

About Shrek
Once upon a time, in a faraway swamp not unlike your own backyard, a green ogre changed animated movies forever — and tonight, he’s doing it again on our big outdoor screen. Shrek is the film that had the audacity to ask: what if the fairy tale was a lie? What if the hero smelled bad and wanted to be left alone? What if the donkey wouldn’t stop talking?
The result was one of the most beloved animated films ever made, a movie that works on every level for every age. The kids will lose it over Donkey. The adults will catch all the jokes that flew over their heads the first time. And everyone will cheer when Shrek and Fiona finally get their moment.
Bring the whole family — the neighbors, the cousins, the people you keep saying you’ll make plans with — because Shrek is the rare film that turns a crowd of strangers into a room full of friends. Grab your layers, claim your patch of lawn, and prepare to recite every line in unison with a hundred of your closest companions.
After all, this is our swamp now.
