'Shrek Forever After' screens at Peerys
OGDEN -- Peery's Egyptian Theater on Saturday will host its next Len Allen family film.
"Shrek Forever After" (2010, PG) screens at 1 p.m. Saturday.
The animated film continues the story of the famous green ogre, now "civilized," with family and royal obligations. Granted his offhand wish that he'd never been born, Shrek learns how many lives he has changed, and sees the joy he would have missed if he had never lived.
The event is free to children 16 and younger who bring a milk container top. Adults can attend for $5, or $4 if they donate a can of food. Doors open at noon. Peery's Egyptian Theater is at 2415 Washington Blvd.
