The Midwest movie premier of the new movie "Walt Before Mickey"will be held at the Logan Luxury Theaters in Mitchell, Huron and Dell Rapids.

The producers of the film arrived at the Dells theater on Thursday August 27th for the first "Red Carpet Advance Showing".

Premier festivities will also be held Friday August 28th at the Luxury 5 Cinemas in Mitchell and on Saturday August 29th at the Huron Luxury Cinemas in Huron.

The film will show at all three theaters for one week Friday through Thursday, August 28-September 3.

“Walt Before Mickey” stars Jon Heder (“Napoleon Dynamite” and “Blades of Glory”) as Roy Disney.  Jodie Sweetin (from TV’s “Full House”) plays Walt’s young bride, Charlotte.

Thomas Ian Nicholas (“Rookie of the Year” and “American Pie”) plays the young Walt Disney.  David Henrie (“Mall Cop 2” and “Wizard of Waverly”) plays artist Rudy Ising.

Few people today realize the struggles and failures Walt went through before finally finding financial success before he created Mickey Mouse.  Walt assembled a team of animators who would lead animation for Disney and other studios for the next four decades.  It is an inspirational story of a young man’s vision and fight to succeed despite obstacles and unfair treatment by larger companies.

The producers, Gutierrez and Bernstein also took roles in the film.

Logan Luxury Theaters Corporation president Jeff Logan first met the producing partners at the Cinemacon Convention two years ago.  Logan worked with them over the past year to develop the plan for the Midwest premiere over the past year.
