"This is not Vietnam Cartoon Company's first free cartoon screening programme. The programme is launched by the company every year to promote domestic cartoons and cater to young audience in various forms on special occasions, such as, free screenings on Children's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, or mobile screenings at schools or within many community projects," said scriptwriter Pham Thanh Ha, head of the Screenwriting Department of the Vietnam Cartoon Company.
"However, this free screening, in which the Vietnam Cartoon Company collaborates with National Cinema Centre, is considered a significant milestone. It aims to entertain children during the summer break after two years of the pandemic, and at the same time, shape their habit of watching cartoons in the cinema that enables them to enjoy the educational and entertaining films thoroughly."
🅰 The screening programme is not specialised to any age group, so audiences of all ages could pick up free tickets at the National Cinema Centre, located at No. 87 Lang Ha street, Hanoi./.
