This Saturday, (September 9), Roe Valley Arts Centre will screen The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales. This heart-warming animated film turns farm life upside down as it introduces you to a quirky cast of characters. Meet a fox with unexpected motherly instincts, a rabbit who takes on stork duties, and a duck with a Christmas dream. In this uproarious tale, the tranquil countryside isn’t quite what it seems.

On Saturday, September 23, Flowerfield Arts Centre will screen Ernest and Celestine. In this enchanting, animated tale two unlikely companions, a young mouse named Celestine and a gentle bear named Ernest, embark on an extraordinary adventure. As they evade the watchful eyes of the law, their heart-warming friendship blossoms, challenging the norms of their world.
