A new chapter unfolds for cinema enthusiasts: We have secured an extraordinary partnership to showcase a Disney Restorations Series. Starting in 2026, the first Saturday of each month will bring an amazing opportunity to experience some of cinema's most treasured classics on the big screen, right here at the Historic Orinda Theatre. This series celebrates a milestone in film preservation, with the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures' Restoration and Library Management Department sharing their remarkable work, including restored classics from Disney, Selznick International, 20th Century-Fox, Fox Film Corp., and 20th Century Pictures. Many of these cinematic gems have been absent from theaters for years, making this year-long showcase a groundbreaking event for Northern California, with numerous premiere presentations of these restored masterpieces.  We will be opening the series with the 1950 Animated Classic, Cinderella!
