Parents, mark your calendars. Just in time for the launch of tickets for Disney/Pixar’s long-awaited animated sequel “Incredibles 2,” Alamo Drafthouse is debuting their Summer Family Fun Card. The program is free and encourages kids to track the new and classic movies they see at Alamo Drafthouse to earn prizes, including the just-announced lineup of affordably priced Kids Camp and PBS Kids screenings.
“We’ve seen generations of future cinephiles get their start at Alamo Drafthouse,” says Alamo Drafthouse Senior Director of Marketing Chaya Rosenthal. “And with our beloved Kids Camp and PBS Kids series and awesome new films on the way this summer like HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3, TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES and INCREDIBLES 2, there are so many choices for parents and kids of all ages.”
Summer Family Fun Cards are free and are available now in Alamo Drafthouse locations or at drafthouse.com/family. Every film a child 12 or under sees between June 1st and August 31st is eligible for a sticker and a cute (and temporary) tattoo. The more stickers kids collect, the more prizes they’ll win, like milkshakes, pizza, free movies and more. Plus, if it’s a child’s very first time at a theater, parents can pick up a free keepsake “My First Movie” certificate.
Speaking of “Incredibles 2,” families have long known that Alamo Drafthouse pulls out all the stops for Disney/Pixar titles, and the return of Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, Dash, Jack-Jack and Frozone is no exception. In addition to both 2D and 3D screenings of the film, families can attend special “Incredibles 2” Family Parties, with photo booths, crafts, games and more. And exclusively at Alamo Drafthouse, Pixar devotees can add two limited edition Mondo designed collectibles to their order: an “Incredibles 2” juice glass and a one-of-a-kind sketchbook with a gorgeous cover designed by Mondo artist Dave Perillo. Both are available with “Incredibles 2” ticket purchases only at participating Alamo Drafthouse box offices, drafthouse.com, and the Alamo app for iOS and Android.
