    Disney Jr. Brings Big-Screen Fun for Kids This Spring – Plus Exciting New Shows on the Way

    Springtime is about to get brighter for little ones across South Africa as Disney Junior launches the brand-new Disney Jr. Cinema Club, an interactive cinema experience designed especially for preschoolers and their families. Launching this weekend in select cinemas nationwide, the Disney Jr. Cinema Club brings together singing, dancing, clapping, puzzles, and of course beloved Disney Jr. shows, in a lively and fun-filled way that makes a day at the movies anything but quiet!

    Mickey Mouse will serve as host on-screen, guiding kids through a line-up that includes Disney Jr. Ariel – The Little Mermaid, Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends, Bluey, Playdate with Winnie the Pooh, SuperKitties, and Me & Mickey. Between episodes, children can join in games and songs, while each child receives a special Disney Jr. activity booklet to continue the fun at home.

    Christine Service, General Manager of Direct-to-Consumer and Networks and Country Manager for The Walt Disney Company Africa, said:

    “The Disney Jr. Cinema Club is the perfect way for parents and young children to enjoy our beloved characters, with plenty of weekend fun and laughter guaranteed for all. Bringing families together is at the heart of what we do, and we can’t wait to share this magical and interactive cinematic experience across South Africa.”

    Tickets are now available online and through participating cinema box offices.
