ENTERGY IMAX® THEATRE TO FEATURE HOLIDAY FILM:

THE LIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

 

For Immediate Release                                                                                       New Orleans, LA

 

This holiday season, make sure to see The Light Before Christmas, November 19 through December 30, 2010, at Entergy IMAX® Theatre in New Orleans. The Light Before Christmas will show daily at 10am, 2pm and 5pm.

 

After losing their way on a cold, blustery Christmas Eve, two children, Katie and Makean, are rescued by their friend, The Candleman, an old sage who imparts wisdom, hot chocolate and stories.  He immediately invites the shivering children to his cozy cottage where he helps them warm up and dry out their mittens. 

 

Knowing a little holiday magic will raise the children’s spirits, The Candleman opens a weathered book and begins to read the classic tale, “The Night Before Christmas.”  To their astonishment, Katie and Makean find themselves as characters in the poem, where they experience the wonder and delight of Santa’s visit to their home, complete with Hob the Elf and full team of reindeer.  Hoping not to be seen, the children sneak from their bedroom and watch wide-eyed as Santa carefully fills the stocking and gently tucks gifts under the glittering Christmas tree.

 

This stunning Stop-Motion Animated film fills the Giant Screen with lavishly detailed sets and characters inspired by the fascinating designs of renowned artist James C. Christensen, while the musical score hearkens back to many beloved Christmas classics.

 

 Certain to be an endearing film for decades, The Light Before Christmas will spark the imaginations of young and old.
