Kids Channel The Character Of Elliott As They Bike To Showing Of E.T.

NEWTOWN BOROUGH, PA — A handful of youngsters took a short bike ride on Sunday afternoon to the Newtown Theatre to see the Steven Spielberg movie, "E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial."

The ride was organized by the Newtown Theatre and the Newtown Bicycle and Fitness Shop as a fun way to promote the showing of the iconic 1982 movie about a boy who befriends an alien and helps him find his way home.

Channeling the character of 10-year-old Elliott, the kids recreated the flying-bicycle chase scene from the 1982 movie as they rode their bikes to the movie, some of whom carried alien creatures with them in their front baskets.

Joining them for the ride was bike shop owner, Harry Betz, who donned a red hoodie, just like Elliott did in the movie.
