Levy Park Conservancy presents Paddington for Family Movie Night Apr. 27, sponsored by Texas Children’s Hospital

WHAT:                 Come on out for some family fun to see the popular 2014 film, Paddington, at Levy Park on Apr. 27 sponsored by Texas Children’s Hospital. From the beloved novels by Michael Bond and producer David Heyman (Harry Potter), Paddington tells the story of the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear who travels to London in search of a home. Lost and alone, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family. They read the label around his neck that says “Please look after this bear. Thank you,” and offer him a temporary home. It looks as though Paddington’s luck has changed until he catches the eye of a conniving museum taxidermist (played by Nicole Kidman). Also watch for Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi and Hugh Bonneville in live action roles. Ben Wishaw voices Paddington.

Family Movie Night is on the last Friday of each month. Guests are encouraged to bring their own teddy bears. No outside furniture is allowed, but blankets or park chairs can be used.

WHERE:               Levy Park , 3801 Eastside St., Houston, TX 77098

WHEN:              Friday, Apr. 27, 7:30 p.m.

MORE:              Guests can enjoy food and beverage service from The Purple Flour and Mico’s Rolled Ice Cream food trucks. Choose from a variety of The Purple Flour’s delicious pizzas with many different toppings, as well as tempting cake pops for dessert. And don’t miss Mico’s delicious Thai-influenced hand-rolled ice cream and waffle cones.
