FREE Outdoor Movie – Watch ‘The Wild Robot’ Under the Stars

Cinema on the Square, Swannanoa’s outdoor movie series, will return to Grovemont Square with a screening of ‘The Wild Robot’ (rated PG) on Friday evening, May 16. Bring a blanket or chair and kick back for a night of free family-friendly entertainment under the stars!

The Wild Robot follows the epic adventures of a robot that’s shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, while gradually building relationships with the island’s animals. With a 98% audience approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, this crowd-pleasing movie is not-to-be-missed!

Grovemont Square, located adjacent to the Swannanoa Library at 101 West Charleston Avenue, boasts beautiful mountain views, an adjacent playground, and a large grassy area for playing games and hanging out. Popcorn and light refreshments will be available for purchase.

Cinema on the Square is sponsored by Friends and Neighbors of Swannanoa (FANS), the Swannanoa Community Council, and Friends of the Swannanoa Library.
