Monkey Kingdom to be Screened at El Capitan Theatre

Hollywood’s legendary El Capitan Theatre presents a special engagement of Disneynature’s all-new film “Monkey Kingdom,” April 17 – 30, 2015. Set among the ancient ruins and jungles of South Asia, “Monkey Kingdom” features a smart monkey named Maya, who will do anything for her newborn son Kip. Before every screening of the movie, Wildlife Learning Center will showcase exotic animals from around the world.

“Earth Day is always very special at the El Capitan,” said James Wood, operations and stage productions for The El Capitan Theatre.  “We are working with Conservation International on a program that invites El Capitan guests to see the film during opening week [April 17-24, 2015], and Disneynature will make a contribution to Conservation International to help protect monkeys and other endangered species in their natural habitats.”

Daily showtimes are 10 a.m., 12:35 p.m., 3:45 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. (Fri and Sat only). Tickets are on sale now, and available at the El Capitan Theatre (6838 Hollywood Blvd.), online at www.elcapitantickets.com, or by calling 1-800-DISNEY6. Special group rates for parties of 20 or more are available by calling 1-818-845-3110. Show times subject to change.

The El Capitan Theatre will also host a very special Tiny Tot Tuesday every Tuesday at10 a.m. during the run of “Monkey Kingdom.” During these special screenings, parents and small children may enjoy the movie in a tot-friendly way—with lights dimmed rather than out and reduced sound levels.
