Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother-and former heir to the throne-has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='vertical-align:top'><b><u><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>THE LION KING</span></u></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> (PG)<br></span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><img border=0 width=165 height=245 id="Picture_x0020_9" src="cid:image008.jpg@01D53A56.3EAB4D70" alt="lion_king.JPG"></span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><br><span style='color:red'>PREMIERES THURSDAY, JULY 18<sup>th</sup> 7:00 PM<br>2D or 3D---YOUR Choice!<br><span style='background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow'>*No Extra Charges for 3D!!</span><br></span>THURS, JULY 18<sup>th</sup>: <u>THE LION KING</u> 7:00PM<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='vertical-align:top'><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:red;background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow'>THURS, JULY 18<sup>th</sup>: <u>THE LION KING in 3D</u> 7:00PM</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:red'><br></span></b><b><u><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>THE LION KING</span></u></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> (PG)<br><span style='color:black'>FRI: (4:00) -7:00 -8:00<br>SAT: (1:00) -(2:00) – (4:00) – 7:00 -8:00<br>SUN: (2:00) – 8:00<br>MON thru THURS: 6:30<br></span><u><span style='color:red'><br><span style='background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow'>THE LION KING IN 3D</span></span></u><span style='background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow'> (PG)<br><span style='color:black'>FRI, SAT, SUN: (5:00)<br>MON, TUES, WED: 7:15</span></span><span style='color:black'><br></span><span style='color:red;background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow'>*No Extra Charges for 3D!!</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='vertical-align:top'><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>+++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><span style='color:red;background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow'>*AVON EXCLUSIVE*</span><span style='color:red'> <i><br>HELD OVER FOR ONE <span style='background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow'>FINAL</span> WEEK!!</i></span><br></span></b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#073763'><img border=0 width=273 height=404 id="Picture_x0020_4" src="cid:image006.jpg@01D53CCC.B887F350" alt="pavarotti (2).JPG"></span><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><br><u>PAVAROTTI</u> (PG13)<br></span></b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#073763'>From the filmmaking team behind the highly-acclaimed documentary The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years, PAVAROTTI is a riveting film that lifts the curtain on the icon who brought opera to the people.
