Palace Theatre Showing “Family Friendly Films” over Christmas Break

Marion Palace TheatreThe Marion Palace Theatre management has announced it will show two family friendly films during Christmas Break.

“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” will be shown Friday, December 20 through Thursday, December 26.

The animated comedy, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” picks up where Sony Pictures Animation’s mouth-watering comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood thought he saved the world when he destroyed his most infamous invention — a machine that turned water into food causing cheeseburger rain and spaghetti tornadoes. But Flint soon learns that his invention survived and is now creating food-animals – “foodimals!” Flint and his friends embark on a dangerously delicious mission to battle hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, hippotatomuses, cheespiders and other foodimals to save the world – again!

“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” is rated PG for mild rude humor and the running time is 95 minutes.

  • Friday, December 20 at 7:30 pm

Described as the greatest turkey movie of all time, “Free Birds” features the voices of Hollywood stars Woody Harrelson, Amy Poehler and Owen Wilson.  The animated film will be shown at the Palace Theatre Friday, December 27 through Monday, December 30.

Reggie and Jake are two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks.  But, the pair is able to put aside their differences and make an insane plan of going back in time to get turkey off the holiday menu for good.  Through a comedy of errors, they manage to take an experimental time machine and travel to the Plymouth colony in 1621 just in time for the first Thanksgiving – and in the process attempt to change the course of history forever.

“Free Birds” is rated PG for some action/peril and rude humor.  Running time is 91 minutes.

  • Friday, December 27 at 2pm & 7:30 pm
  • Saturday, December 28 at 2pm & 7:30 pm

  • Monday, December 30 at 2pm
