That Saturday morning is dedicated to Donuts, Coffee & Cartoons as we hit the fast lane with Pixar’s Cars, where a hotshot rookie race car gets sidetracked in Radiator Springs and discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, in the ultimate animated masterpiece!

There will be crafts at 9AM compliments of our besties at Macaroni KID Modesto CA and the film starts at 10AM!

Choose between fresh donuts, hot coffee, and hot chocolate, get creative, and don't hesitate to dress the part because we love a good graphic tee - always welcome for this perfect family event that we can't wait to share with you all at The State Theatre!

Get ready to gear up for a "Ka-chow!" high-octane family-friendly time! All still in the spirit of the American Graffiti Festival energy still around!
