I had a chance to see the iconic El Capitan during a recent trip to LA for the Red Carpet Premiere of Pete's Dragon. I love visiting old theaters and was impressed by all the work that was done to restore the theatre to its original state. It is beautiful and easy to imagine the crowds showing up for live theater.

They show one movie for several weeks and have been premiering Disney movies since 1991. Before the movie starts you are treated to music form Ethel (the organ.) This is such a fun unique way to wait for the movie to start and so much better than ads like at other theaters.

The staff was incredibly friendly and worked hard to make sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. The next day we were even treated to a special behind the scenes tour. We even go to check out the Hall of Fame which is filled with pictures of stars and events.

This is a fantastic place to see a movie and I can't wait till I get back to LA to see a movie here again.
