What is an interactive movie?

An interactive movie is when a group of people watches a movie together and interacts with what is happening on the screen in a variety of ways.  Sometimes you are booing a villain, singing along to a song, throwing snowballs at the screen, eating a treat with the movie characters, or cheering when the hero conquers their foes!  It’s loud and a little crazy but a whole bunch of fun!

Below are some of the interactrive movies we have done at the library.  If you would like to have fun with them at home, check out the props list, print out the script, and have a blast!
