The N.C. Museum of Art in Raleigh will kick off a new free movie series for families this summer on Wednesday afternoons.

The family film series will showcase new and classic live-action and animated films and shorts. Movies are scheduled for 1 p.m., Wednesdays, through Aug. 22. They are best for ages 5 to 12. The movies will change weekly. Each film will be accompanied by a related free craft.

At last check, three movies are scheduled for the series so far. Here's the schedule:

June 13: Two tales of individuals finding adventure, both real and imaginary, in their lives.

“Adventures of Owen” 2011, USA, Directed by David Cadiz, 14 mins
“The Gruffalo” 2009, UK, Directed by Max Lang, Jakob Schuh, 27 mins

June 20: Three films take you on an exploration through time and space.

“Cosmic Zoom”, 1968, Canada, Directed by Eva Szaz, 8min
“Moon Man”, 1981, Author Tomi Ungerer, Produced by Weston Woods, 9min
“Paddle to the Sea”, 1969, Canada, Directed by Bill Mason, 28min

June 27: A vintage treat of nature vs. man.

“Hoppity Goes to Town” 1941, USA, Directed by Dave Fleischer, 78min

The movies are free, but a ticket from the museum's box office is required. I'd recommend getting there early to ensure a seat.

I've added the series to the Go Ask Mom free and cheap movie database.
