Newtown Police Department will host its Second Annual Movie With A Cop on Saturday, November 30.

This year’s featured movie is The Grinch. The free event will center around a 7 pm screening at Edmond Town Hall, 45 Main Street.

The 2018 version of The Grinch is a 3D computer-animated Christmas film based on the book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr Seuss. It is the third screen adaptation of the story, following the television special of 1966 starring Boris Karloff and the live-action feature-length film from 2000 starring Jim Carrey.

The 2018 film features the voices of Benedict Cumberbatch, Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson, Cameron Seely and Angela Lansbury, and is narrated by Pharrell Williams. Directed by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier, the feature follows the familiar story of the Grinch and his plans to ruin Whoville’s Christmas celebration by stealing the town’s gifts and decorations.

The film has a running time of 1 hour, 25 minutes and is rated PG.

The first 100 children between the ages of 8 and 14 who are registered will be provided with movie snacks and a special gift.

Parents and/or guardians may register children by contacting Officer MaryHelen McCarthy at maryhelen.mccarthy@newtown-ct.gov.
