Maitland City Talk

Maitland movie series has a new name and a new location

Presented by the city of Maitland Leisure Services Department, the continuing series of family films, now called Screen on the Green, will feature “Big Hero 6” on March 7 at 7 p.m. at its new location: the Maitland Middle School soccer field located at 1901 Choctaw Trail.

From Walt Disney Animation Studios, the team behind "Frozen" and "Wreck-It Ralph," comes "Big Hero 6," an action-packed comedy-adventure about the special bond that develops between Baymax, a plus-sized inflatable robot, and prodigy Hiro Hamada.

Bring your chairs and blankets, and we will bring you the stars.
