Load up a picnic basket, the kids and a blanket and head over to Newtown Park on Saturday to watch a 14-year-old robotics prodigy and an inflatable robot take on a villian.

“Big Hero 6” will be be shown Aug. 8 as part of Johns Creek’s Movies at Newtown Park series.

The Disney film is about Hiro and Baymax as they and four nerdy friends form a superhero team to battle a villain who has stolen Hiro’s late brother’s invention.

In addition to the films, which are free, Movies at Newtown Park includes pre-show entertainment like inflatable moonwalk, face-painting, children’s activities, give-aways, music, food and drinks.

Pre-show activities start at 7 p.m. The movie starts at dusk (about 9 p.m.) and are shown on a large inflatable screen. Families are encouraged to bring blankets and relax as they watch the movie. No alcohol or pets please.
