SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Zoo Celebrates 'Zootopia 2'
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a free chat with two Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium educators—and an animal friend!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay is partnering with the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium for a special program that will get kids even more excited to watch Zootopia 2. \n\n\n\nJessica Ries\, a Pittsburgh Zoo interpretation manager\, and Heather Berkey\, the zoo’s volunteer services manager\, will join us in The Lindsay’s Community Room on Sunday\, Dec. 14\, at 1:45 p.m. \n\n\n\nThis free educational opportunity will start with a Q&A geared around Zootopia 2\, the sequel to Disney’s 2016 animated adventure that starts playing at The Lindsay on Wednesday\, Nov. 26. \n\n\n\nRies and Berkey will discuss their work and how zoo animals are both similar and different from their on-screen Zootopia counterparts. They’ll then introduce an “animal friend” direct from the Pittsburgh Zoo. This will be a rare chance for children to get up close and personal with a furry\, feathery or even scaly critter. \n\n\n\n\n“Movies like Zootopia and the zoo both have the goal of connecting people with animals they’re not familiar with\,” says Ries. “You can connect with wildlife in a way that’s fun\, and you can relate to the characters.” \n\n\n\nZootopia 2 sends detectives Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) on the twisting trail of a mysterious reptile who arrives in Zootopia and turns the animal metropolis upside down. To crack the case\, Judy and Nick must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town\, where their growing partnership is tested like never before. \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay is also hosting a Zootopia 2 sensory friendly screening on Saturday\, Dec. 6\, at 10 a.m. Tickets to this showing are all discounted to $8.75 each. Sensory friendly screenings provide an option for families\, children\, and adults impacted by autism and other special needs to watch films together in a low-stress environment.

SUMMARY:Holiday Classics at The Lindsay
DESCRIPTION:Happy holidays from your friends at The Lindsay! \n\n\n\nWe’re ringing in the season with our annual Holiday Classics\, featuring a delightful mix of nostalgic favorites starting on Friday\, Dec. 19\, and continuing through Christmas Day. \n\n\n\nEnjoy multiple chances to watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and Elf. It’s a Wonderful Life\, starring Indiana\, Pa.\, native James Stewart\, also remains a Lindsay holiday staple. \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay’s 2025 Holiday Classics lineup will mark 25 years of the live-action How the Grinch Stole Christmas and 80 years of Golden Age rom com Christmas in Connecticut. Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club president Wendy Whittick will introduce the Friday\, Dec. 19\, Christmas in Connecticut screening. \n\n\n\nVisit our website for all Holiday Classics showtimes and tickets. This year\, The Lindsay is also collecting nonperishables for Center for Hope\, an Ambridge food pantry that has been meeting growing demands. The food drive started last week\, in advance of Thanksgiving\, and will run through New Year’s Eve. \n\n\n\nWarm up your sleigh\, put on something cozy and head over to The Lindsay for a heaping helping of holiday cheer! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s a Wonderful Life\n\n\n\nPG | 2h 10min | Drama\, Fantasy\, Romance\n\n\n\nDirector: Frank Capra\n\n\n\nStars: James Stewart\, Donna Reed\, Lionel Barrymore\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho doesn’t sometimes feel like George Bailey (James Stewart) in It’s a Wonderful Life? It’s Christmas Eve\, and George is contemplating whether his life has amounted to anything. That’s when an angel appears to show George exactly what the world would look like without him. \n\n\n\n“It’s one of those ageless movies\, like Casablanca\, that improves with age … (and) can be viewed an indefinite number of times\,” late critic Roger Ebert declared. “Stewart touches the thespic peak of his career\,” and director Frank Capra injects “his sure-footed feeling for true dramatic impact\,” raves Variety. \n\n\n\nAdds BBC: “It’s a Wonderful Life achieves a fine balancing act between pathos and feel-good that is delivered by an outstanding cast. Even the minor parts are populated by some of the finest character actors\, and it produces a movie of timeless quality and relevance.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for It’s a Wonderful Life\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElf\n\n\n\nPG | 1h 37min | Comedy\n\n\n\nDirector: Jon Favreau\n\n\n\nStars: Will Ferrell\, James Caan\, Zooey Deschanel\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElf stars Will Ferrell as Buddy\, a human raised by elves in the North Pole. A fully grown Buddy travels to New York City on a quest to meet his biological father (James Caan). Buddy’s infectious optimism inspires everyone he meets to embrace the holiday spirit. \n\n\n\nDirector Jon Favreau proved he “has the magic touch” with this “genuinely sweet” 21st-century Christmas classic\, praises the Los Angeles Times. “Will Ferrell is hilarious in this delightful elf-out-of-water holiday confection\,” declares The Hollywood Reporter. \n\n\n\n“Elf  is at the very least a breezily entertaining\, perfectly cast family treat. Actor-director Jon Favreau\, working from a colorful script by David Berenbaum\, has delivered just the right combination of naughty and nice.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for Elf\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNational Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation\n\n\n\nPG-13 | 1h 37min | Comedy \n\n\n\nDirector: Jeremiah S. Chechick\n\n\n\nStars: Chevy Chase\, Bevery D’Angelo\, Juliette Lewis\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnyone familiar with the Vacation franchise would’ve expected a Griswold family holiday celebration to play out exactly like it does in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. This time\, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) doesn’t even have to leave town for things to go horribly wrong. \n\n\n\nThe third Vacation film is “the most madcap Christmas comedy ever\,” proclaims Time Out. Christmas Vacation is “side-splitting funny” and contains “moments of great physical comedy by Chase\,” applauds IGN. \n\n\n\n“This movie has always been a favorite when it comes to the nuttiness of Christmas and family\, and it’s still a riot.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for Christmas Vacation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow the Grinch Stole Christmas (25th anniversary)\n\n\n\nPG | 1h 44min | Comedy\, Family\n\n\n\nDirector: Ron Howard\n\n\n\nStars: Jim Carrey\, Taylor Momsen\, Kelley\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt has somehow been 25 years since we all learned How the Grinch Stole Christmas—in live action! This adaptation of the classic Dr. Seuss story stars Jim Carrey as the green grump who enlists his dog\, Max (Kelley)\, to ruin Whoville’s holiday festivities. \n\n\n\n“This is Jim Carrey’s show\, and he just about wraps the movie around his spindly green finger\,” commends Entertainment Weekly. “With The Grinch\, Carrey may well have realized the most entertaining\, and in the end\, almost moving live-action children’s characters put on screen\,” lauds Empire. \n\n\n\n“In the end\, this is Jim Carrey’s movie. His performance is quite simply a masterpiece of controlled sentiment\, perching brilliantly on the cusp of pathos and dangerous anger. … It’s a bravura performance loaded with energy\, wit and delighted malice.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for How the Grinch Stole Christmas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristmas in Connecticut (80th anniversary)\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 41min | Comedy\, Romance\n\n\n\nDirector: Peter Godfrey\n\n\n\nStars: Barbara Stanwyck\, Dennis Morgan\, Sydney Greenstreet\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristmas in Connecticut is a lovely holiday comedy starring Barbara Stanwyck as Elizabeth Lane\, a food writer who has been lying about having an idyllic life. Hijinks ensue and sparks fly when Elizabeth’s boss and a returning war hero invite themselves to her fictitious farm for Christmas. \n\n\n\nDirector Peter Godfrey’s 1945 rom com is full of “subversive screwball complications\,” praises The Guardian. It’s a “thoroughly wacky” film that has become “a bit of a hidden gem in the Christmas canon\,” writes The A.V. Club. \n\n\n\n“Coming off Stanwyck’s villainous\, Oscar-nominated turn in Double Indemnity\, Christmas in Connecticut presented one of the lightest\, gentlest roles in her career. … There’s so much about Christmas in Connecticut that feels newly relevant to our current era.” \n\n\n\nNote: Wendy Whittick\, the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club’s president\, will introduce the 7 p.m. Christmas in Connecticut screening on Friday\, Dec. 19.  \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for Christmas in Connecticut
