Sharjah Book Authority (SBA) will be screening one Disney classic every day during the 11-day Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival (SCRF 2019), coming to Sharjah Expo Centre on April 17.

 

SBA is calling it the ‘Disney Throwback’, and has dedicated their theatre to a daily celebration of all-time daily favourites in a bid to enhance children’s artistic and cultural appreciation through cinema.   

 

The list is packed with all time-favourites, ‘Alice in Wonderland’; ‘Beauty and the Beast’; ‘Jungle Book’; ‘Pinocchio’; ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’; ‘101 Dalmatians’; ‘Bambi’; ‘Toy Story’; ‘The Little Mermaid’; ‘Peter Pan’; and ‘A Bug’s Life’.  

 

The new feature has been added to the festival’s comprehensive cultural agenda to present to viewers of all age groups, especially the young lot, noble human values through the magic of cinema.    

 

Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival is the leading event in the UAE as well as the region that promises fun-filled entertainment as well as cultural education for children. It aims to broaden children and parents’ knowledge and experience in the arts, sciences and literature, in collaboration with a host of institutions, associations and centres involved in children’s education and development.
