Cars is turning twenty, and it's coming back to the big screen — our big screen, in a theater that's been standing on Route 66 since 1919.

Here's the part that gets us: when Pixar was building Radiator Springs, they came and drove this road. Historian Michael Wallis took the crew down 66 so they could see the real towns the movie is about. Vinita is one of those towns. This has always been our movie.

CARS — 20th Anniversary Friday, September 4 — 4:00 & 7:00 PM Saturday, September 5 — 1:15, 4:00 & 7:00 PM Sunday, September 6 — 1:15, 4:00 & 7:00 PM Wednesday, September 9 — 7:00 PM

FREE SHOWING — Thursday, September 10 at 7:00 PM Courtesy of our friends at Hot Rod Central. First come, first served.

Bring the kids. Bring the grandkids. Bring the twenty-somethings who slept on Lightning McQueen sheets — you know who you are.
