Everyone loves an underdog story and the El Capitan Theatre is using the commencement of the Winter Olympics to take a throwback Thursday with Disney’s comedy classic COOL RUNNINGS. The film will play a 1-day only engagement at Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre celebrating the 25th Anniversary of COOL RUNNINGS on Thursday, February 8, 2018.
COOL RUNNINGS was originally released October 1, 1993 and was based on a true story. With few resources and virtually no clue about winter sports, it’s an uphill course for this troupe from the tropics who are sliding on thin ice as they go for the gold in Calgary, Canada. Refusing to let anything stand in their way, these four Jamaicans enlist the help of a down-and-out ex-champion American slider named Irv.
“Our THROWBACK THURSDAYS continue to be a great tradition for our El Capitan Theatre Guests. It’s always a treat to delve into the Disney vaults for a classic film, and there is just no better way to usher in the 2018 Winter Olympics than by celebrating the 25th Anniversary of COOL RUNNINGS,” said Ed Collins, General Manager of The El Capitan Theatre, “The evening will be filled with lots of fun elements including raffle prizes and more, making The El Capitan Theatre the place to be for a great kick off to the Winter Olympics.”
