The Riverside’s Vue is among cinemas screening some of Disney’s most beloved classics ahead of the studio’s upcoming film Wish.

Not only that, Vue will be releasing limited-edition collectable postcards from now until the last Disney screening, with a new postcard being handed out for each of the 10 films. Featuring classic designs of the original posters, the postcards are sure to enchant young and older fans alike.

The Disney celebration also coincides with the animation studio’s 100th birthday which falls in October.

Any Disney lovers that pre-books their tickets to see one of the classic releases will be entered into a prize draw for tickets for the premiere of Disney’s upcoming film Wish. The latest addition to the Disney canon follows Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, as she makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force - there are also five signed posters up for grabs.

Head of screen content Robert Lea said: “Disney has been bringing joy to children and adults alike for generations and, while we’re always excited to showcase the best new films heading to Vue, we’re particularly happy to celebrate these animated classics back on the big screen.
