Art Cinema for Tots: Journeys 2026

Synopsis

Born out of a commitment to the idea that it’s never too early to introduce kids to the pleasures of movies made outside of the commercial mainstream—and the suspicion that young audiences are often more open-minded and curious than their elders when it comes to such matters—Metrograph presents the latest iteration of Art Cinema for Tots, a celebration of handcrafted, kid-friendly films that reconcile the smart and the silly. In this edition, join us for Journeys, a suite of enchanting, adventurous shorts, including Charlie Chaplin’s early silent family outing gone awry, A Day’s Pleasure, and Hermína Týrlová’s lively stop-motion animation The Little Train, about a cheeky little coal train who gets tired of working and attempts to set off to see the world!
