Our FAMILY SUNDAYS series s a monthly showcase of beautifully crafted, visually inventive films for audiences aged 2+. Each program highlights distinctive animation, imaginative visual styles, and heartfelt storytelling – celebrating the artistry of filmmaking while sparking curiosity, laughter, and wonder.

Beginning with MY FIRST MOVIES (ages 2–6), a playful “no shhh-zone” of short animated films followed by a MAKE AND PLAY activity. Take a break at series sponsor WAREHOUSE PIZZA, just two blocks away, and return FAMILY MATTINEES (ages 6–12). After the screening, families are invited to our ANIMATION LAB for a hands-on craft inspired by the film.
