Latchis Arts’ popular Movies for Kids program presents a special holiday series on Sundays, December 16, 23, and 20, at 11:30 a.m. Admission is by donation.

The series begins on December 16 with “Miracle on 34^th Street,” the beloved 1947 classic starring Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O’Hara and a very young Natalie Wood. When a nice old man who claims to be Santa is thought to be crazy, a young lawyer decides to defend him by arguing in court that he is the real thing. The film carries a 96% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. Felix Vasquez Jr. of Cinema Crazed described it as “one of the few perfect and genuinely emotional Christmas movies that will live on forever.” Common Sense Media recommends it for ages 6 and up.

On Sunday, Dec. 23, at 11:30 a.m., it’s the 2003 comedy classic “Elf.” Reminding us that the “the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear,” the film stars Will Ferrell as a man-sized elf who is forced to leave the North Pole after inadvertently wreaking havoc on the elf community because of ungainly size. He journeys to the U.S. in search of his true identity and manages to teach us all a thing or two about Christmas spirit. “Elf” stars Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, James Caan, Ed Asner, Bob Newhart and Mary Steenburgen. It is Rated PG. Common Sense Media recommends “Elf” for kids ages 7 and up. People who go to the Latchis on Dec. 23 will have a chance to enter a fun Elf raffle.

On December 30, at 11:30 a.m., get set to ring in 2019 with “Rudolph’s Shiny New Year,” a 1976 animated gem from Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr. When the baby New Year is reported as missing, Rudolph goes on a quest to find him. This 50-minute feature is recommended for ages 3 and up by Common Sense Media.

Admission for all these films is by donation. For information, visit latchisarts.org.
