Still from 'Planet 51'
On Friday, March 26, the City of Prattville will present a free showing ofPlanet 51 on a 30-foot inflatable movie screen at Cooters Pond Park for the entire family to enjoy.
The film is an animated adventure comedy and features the voices of Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel, Justin Long, Gary Oldman, and John Cleese.
Captain Charles “Chuck” Baker (Johnson) lands on Planet 51 and to his surprise finds that it is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders … like Chuck! Baker must rely on his robot companion, Rover, and his new friend Lem in order to find a way back home before it’s too late.
So, bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and picnic baskets and prepare to blast off into space! The movie begins at dark and Ria’s Pizzaria will be onsite selling $5 large pizzas. No alcoholic beverages are allowed.
This is the second year that movie under the stars will be held at Cooters Pond Park.
“We have had great success with our free movie series in that location,” said City of Prattville Special Events Director Kellie Cook. “It is a great, open area and the grounds make a natural theatre seating effect.”

The city of Mobile has invested about $10,000 in portable movie theater equipment to launch a new outdoor entertainment campaign that will begin Friday.
This past Wednesday, 
Mobile, Alabama residents and visitors won’t want to miss this opportunity to beat the heat: Oakwood Swim and Racquet Club hosts outdoor movies at the pool each Friday. The family-friendly movies are free and have included titles such as Shark Tales. Kids, friends, and families can watch the dive-in movie while swimming in the pool, or from blankets and lounge chairs around the pool. Again, admission is free, but they will be selling concessions, and ask that you purchase food there rather than bring your own in order to keep the movies under the stars funded. The Oakwood club purchased the outdoor cinema equipment necessary in order to produce the dive-in movies, so support this great community event!
