The Grand announces the next two titles in its new monthly “Disney Classics” family film series on Saturday, March 21st. “The Shaggy Dog” screens at 1 pm and its sequel “The Shaggy D.A.” at 4 pm. Ticket prices are general admission seating for each movie and are $1 per person.
What’s better than getting out of the cold and into a warm theater and seeing the best live-action Disney has offered from the past decades? In 2015, The Grand offers everyone the opportunity to see these classic films the way they were meant to be seen – projected on a giant screen, larger than life – films that were made by the geniuses at Disney to be enjoyed by the whole family!
“The Shaggy Dog” tells the story of young Wilby Daniels (Tommy Kirk) who finds a magic ring that used to belong to the Borgia family. When he pronounces an inscription on the ring, he is suddenly able to transform himself into a shaggy dog, though he has no control over when this is going to happen. To his dismay, the girl he likes gets involved without knowing who the dog really is. At the same time, the only way Wilby can break the spell is to perform some virtuous deed. Fortunately for him, a few Soviet spies are just hanging around, waiting to be uncovered by a canine. With Annette Funicello, Fred MacMurray, Jean Hagen and Jack Albertson.
In “The Shaggy D.A.,” Dean Jones plays the adult Wilby Daniels in this sequel, a lawyer running against the villainous John Slade (Keenan Wynn) for district attorney. His campaign is cast into doubt when he comes upon an ancient ring that transforms him into a fat sheepdog. With Suzanne Pleshette, Tim Conway, Jo Ann Worley and Dick Van Patten.
So bring a friend, get out of the cold, and share the experience of seeing Hollywood’s classic movies the way they were meant to be seen – on the big screen – at The Grand’s monthly “Disney Classics” family film series.
