The free inaugural walk in, as opposed to drive in, Outdoor Movie Event is scheduled for Saturday, October 30 at Lafayette Plaza Park. Bring a blanket and snacks and come dolled up for the costume contest or perhaps wear snuggly footie-pajamas for the 7:00 screening of Pixar's Monster's Inc.
Who wouldn't like the family friendly, hilarious film set in the world of Monstropolis that features incredible computer animation and the vocal talent of John Goodman as the giant furry blue James "Sully" Sullivan and his assistant the jocular, one-eyed lime green Mike Wazowski with the voice of Billy Crystal. Great for kid and adults.
Timed to coincide with Halloween, city staffers and the Chamber of Commerce hope they are on to something big. Depending on turnout for the Saturday night event, this could become a recurring summer series.
Judging by the success of the Farmers' Market, Associate Planner Lindy Chan and Assistant Planner Michael Cass brought up the idea and wanted to coordinate the timing with the always popular Rez Run scheduled for the very next day - Halloween. Given the direction: "make it happen" from management they arranged for a big screen that will be attached to the large trellis on the Moraga Road-facing edge of the park and coordinated with the Chamber on event details.
A variety of prizes will be given out for unique costumes. Let your imagination be your guide. Unfortunately in case of rain, the event will be canceled.

About This Film
MONSTERS, INC. shattered every DVD-era home entertainment sales record when 11 million DVD/VHS copies of the film were sold during its first week of release. Only THE LION KING, released in the "pre-DVD" era, sold more units when it debuted on VHS in 1995.
Singer-songwriter Randy Newman had been nominated for an Academy Award(r) 16 times -- and never won -- before he finally won for the song "If I Didn't Have You."
