Big Movies for Little Kids” opens up February with two great screenings just right for your littlest critic, with “Balto” barking in on Feb. 13 and — cue the piano — some silent shorts featuring Buster Keaton on Feb. 27.
Children 2 and older will cheer for “Balto,” the animated tale about the Siberian husky who’s life-saving sled run is commemorated each year by (spoiler alert!) the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race across Alaska. Balto, of course, is also honored with a statue in Central Park.
Older kids will enjoy the madcap, slapstick, physical comedy of Keaton, who’s work in the pre-talkie era has been cheered by critics for nearly a century. Best of all, kids get to learn about this golden age of movies when actors told a story with their bodies, and not their lips.
Show times for both movies is 4 pm and admission is $7 per person. Adults must be accompanied by a child.
Cobble Hill Cinema, 265 Court St. between Butler & Douglass streets in Cobble Hill, (718) 596-9113. For info visit www.cobblehilltheatre.com.
