Later this month, cinemagoers will be able to watch 1942’s Bambi (from August 18th), followed by Disney princess classic Cinderella from August 25th.

Moving into September, film fans can take a trip to Neverland as Peter Pan returns to the big screen from September 1st, while 101 Dalmatianswill be screened from September 8th.

Jon Dixon, UK Marketing Manager for Showcase Cinemas, said: “We can’t wait to welcome these Disney animated favourites back to the big screen. A recent survey we carried out shows that 97% of Brits love watching animated movies, so we know there is a huge appetite for reliving our childhood and re-watching our favourite films from years gone by.

“What’s more, this is a great chance for Disney fans of all ages to see films of yesteryear for perhaps the very first time in the cinema and experience them in a setting that you just can’t get at home.

“With all tickets just £5, it really is the perfect opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy Disney classics back on the big screen.”
