Cincinnati Pops Announces Family Friendly Films with Live Orchestra Events at Music Hall

The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra has added three orchestra-with-film events to its schedule this fall and early winter.

The Orchestra will provide the live, musical soundtrack for the action-thriller STAR WARS: Return of the Jedi; the stop-motion animated Halloween/Christmas classic The Nightmare Before Christmas; and Disney and Pixar's Coco, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film.

GRAMMY-winning composer Danny Elfman's Golden Globe-nominated score is illuminated by the Cincinnati Pops, providing the perfect soundtrack to Tim Burton's stop-motion animated musical dark fantasy The Nightmare Before Christmas. First released in 1993, the film was directed by Henry Selick ("James and the Giant Peach") and based on a story and characters by Tim Burton. The film follows the earnest-but-misguided adventures of Jack Skellington, Halloween Town's beloved Pumpkin King, as he attempts to take over the Christmas holiday. Against the advice of Sally, a lonely beautiful rag doll who has feelings for him, Jack enlists three mischievous trick-or-treaters - Lock, Shock, and Barrel - to help him kidnap Santa Claus. The film is rated "PG."

In this, the finale of the original Star Wars trilogy, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, R2-D2 and C-3PO save Han Solo from the grip of Jabba the Hutt. The Cincinnati Pops provides the perfect accompaniment, performing John Williams' epic score.
