From October 1 to 7 the El Capitan Theatre will also be showing three all new short films from Pixar Animation Studios’ SparkShorts program – “Float”, “Wind”, and “Loop” – following each showtime of “Hocus Pocus.”

“The SparkShorts program is designed to discover new storytellers, explore new storytelling techniques, and experiment with new production workflows,” said Jim Morris, president of Pixar Animation Studios. “These films are unlike anything we’ve ever done at Pixar, providing an opportunity to unlock the potential of individual artists and their inventive film-making approaches on a smaller scale than our normal fare.” All guests must purchase a valid ticket to enter theatre even if only coming to watch the SparkShorts short films.
