Family Morning Movie  
We will be showing Paw Patrol: the Mighty Movie (PG, 92 minutes). 
"When a magical meteor crash lands in Adventure City, it gives the PAW Patrol pups su-
perpowers, transforming them into The MIGHTY PUPS! For Skye, the smallest member of 
the team, her new powers are a dream come true. But things take a turn for the worse 
when the pups' archrival Humdinger breaks out of jail and teams up with a mad scientist 
to steal the superpowers for the two villains. With the fate of Adventure City hanging in 
the balance, the Mighty Pups have to stop the supervillains before it's too late, and Skye 
will need to learn that even the smallest pup can make the biggest difference."
