Bring your squishmallows and a cozy blanket, and set up camp in the Hunter Community Room for a slumber party-style movie night that the whole family can enjoy. Join Crysta, Batty Koda, and Zak as they battle Hexxus for the rainforest’s survival on the big screen. 1992’s FernGully: The Last Rainforest is a timeless childhood favorite for many millennials, who now have the chance to introduce it to a new generation of nature lovers. Enjoy the incredible voice talents of Samantha Mathis, Christian Slater, Jonathan Ward, Robin Williams, and Tim Curry as they bring the story to life.

This event has been made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Big Read. NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. The goals of the NEA Big Read are to inspire meaningful conversations, celebrate local creativity, elevate a wide variety of voices and perspectives, and build stronger connections in each community.

MCL and MFFC’s NEA Big Read Project, “Building Hope and Connection Through Our Landscape,” focuses on bringing the people of the Northshire together at the intersection of nature and community.
