Fantastic Mr. Fox in Dexter Park

Details

For our last event in September, we're partnering with the West Broadway Neighborhood Association (WBNA) for an outdoor screening in Dexter Park in Providence. Even better, we're screening Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox! Are you cussing with me? No, it's true!

From Criterion: Fantastic Mr. Fox is the story of a clever, quick, nimble, and exceptionally well-dressed wild animal. A compulsive chicken thief turned newspaper reporter, Mr. Fox settles down with his family in a new foxhole in a beautiful tree—directly adjacent to three enormous poultry farms owned by three ferociously vicious farmers: Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. Mr. Fox simply cannot resist. Wes Anderson’s adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel is a meticulous work of stop-motion animation featuring vibrant performances by George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe, Michael Gambon, and Bill Murray.

Join us on Saturday, September 27th for a 7:00pm outdoor screening of Fantastic Mr. Fox in Dexter Park. I think a lot of people come to WBNA events, and judging from the RSVPs from our last outdoor event, people love outdoor movies. Because of that, I'm going to say that we should meet in the park at 6:00pm to hang out and find a spot together. I'll put in the comments where we are the day of.

Some of the event details for this are still up in the air. The movie's set in stone, but we might have food trucks? And I'm pretty sure we'll have popcorn and hot chocolate for sale. They won't have seats, though, so it's up to you to provide your own chair or blanket. It's also a free event.
