SNAKE

Battleship
Cove offers free entertainment to those who want to relax with a wholesome family
movie as the evening settles down.
Operation
Dumbo Drop (Walt Disney): This action-packed comedy stars Danny Glover,
Ray Liotta, and Dennis Leary as green berets faced with a “weighty”
mission: to replace a South Vietnamese village’s prized elephant after it
is killed by the North Vietnamese Army during the war. The unpredicted challenges
of secretly transporting this jumbo-sized cargo make for big laughs. “Operation
Dumbo Drop” is rated PG for war action and language.
On
the Front Lines: The War Years (Walt Disney): During WWII, the Disney
Studio was used to create training, propaganda, and educational films. This selection
of cartoons from “On the Front Lines” stars Donald Duck, Pluto, and
Goofy in a variety of roles, with the goal of inspiring the American public to
rally behind their country in the war effort.
Note:
Propaganda in art and film often visually demonized the enemy as a strategy to
evoke a patriotic spirit among the American people, with the hopes of renewing
and strengthening their commitment to the cause. In light of this concept, some
cartoons may contain racially sensitive content. While the standpoint presented
in these cartoons is significant when seen from a historical perspective, it does
not reflect the current social and cultural values embraced by Battleship Cove.
Please
note: Film selection is subject to change
without notice.
