Movie in Washington Park: Ralph Breaks the Internet
Friday, July 19, Dusk
North Pointe Pavilion, Washington Park, Michigan City, IN
The Michigan City Parks and Rec Department and the library collaborate for summer Movies in Washington Park. Video game bad guy Ralph and fellow misfit Vanellope von Schweetz must risk it all by traveling to the World Wide Web in search of a replacement part to save Vanellope’s video game, “Sugar Rush.” In way over their heads, Ralph and Vanellope rely on the citizens of the internet — the netizens — to help navigate their way, including an entrepreneur named Yesss, who is the head algorithm and the heart and soul of trend-making site BuzzzTube. Rated PG. The movie is shown in North Pointe Pavilion in Washington Park, and begins at dusk. Mark your calendar for August 16 for the showing of The House with a Clock in its Wall.
