Pixar favorites returning to select AMC Theaters over Memorial Day Weekend

I just received a press release saying that a few Pixar family favorites will be returning to the big screen this weekend, at AMC Theaters. Toy Story 3, Ratatouille, Up, and Wall-E will be playing, and tickets are $6 but vary per location.

In the metro Detroit area, the following theaters will be participating:

  • AMC Fairlane
  • AMC Forum
  • AMC Gratiot
  • AMC Great Lakes
  • AMC Star John R
  • AMC Livonia
  • AMC Southfield

The films will also be accompanied by a "behind-the scenes look" at Pixar's newest movie to be released next month, Brave.

From the press release:

With the summer movie season heating up, four popular Disney•Pixar movies are returning exclusively to AMC Theatres for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. From May 25 through May 28, “Toy Story 3,” “Ratatouille,” “Up” and “WALL•E” will be featured at AMC locations around the country. Each film will be accompanied by a classic Pixar short film and an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming movie, “Brave.”

“There are some great films coming out Memorial Day weekend but nothing specifically for families and young children,” said Sun Dee Larson, vice president of Film Marketing at AMC. “We’re excited to provide our guests with an opportunity to take the whole family out to the theatre to enjoy some of the most treasured movies of all time, plus give our guests the chance to see a behind-the-scenes look at ‘Brave.’”

Priced at $6 per movie (pricing may vary), each movie will play once every day on a rotating schedule. Participating locations, showtime information and advance tickets are available now at amctheatres.com/pixar.

*Disclosure: I received a gift card to try the new Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. Baskin-Robbins launched its Polar Pizza last month (July), as I talked about in my recent post about them, and because this past month was crazy busy for me, I didn't get to try the Polar Pizza until this past Sunday. My parents and I went to the combined Dunkin' Donuts / Baskin-Robbins near them, in Novi, MI, to split one of the ice cream pizzas.
