Latchis Arts’ popular Movies for Kids series returns in January with a series titled Eeeek! – featuring movies where mice are the heroes. Films take place at the Latchis Theatre on Sundays at 11:30 a.m. Admission is by donation.

January’s Eeek! Series concludes on Jan. 26, with “An American Tail,” the exquisitely G-rated animated 1986 film about a family of Russian-Jewish mice who escape from their homeland to make a new life in New York City. Common Sense Media rates it appropriate for ages 5 and up, praising it as a great introduction for kids to the issue of immigration. It gets high marks for educational value and positive role models, with some moments of scariness.

Latchis Arts Movies for Kids series films continue on Sunday mornings through March. For information, visit latchisarts.org.
