ChiIL Out with ChiIL Mama & Gofobo for great free tickets to advanced screenings.  We're elated to offer a ticket code to our readers CHiiL6VMP, redeemable for passes at Gofobo.com/RSVP -- first come first served. Thanks to our friends over at Gofobo, Warner Bros. Pictures and IMAX Entertainment for partnering up with us.

The screening is Saturday, March 29^th at 10am at Navy Pier IMAX.

Please note, it's a good idea to arrive early for the screening. They offer slightly more passes than available seats to ensure a full house.  

Our family will be catching the advanced screening and reviewing the show. Come on out and join us with FREE tickets before the movie opens April 4th. If we didn't have you at FREE, how about at Freeman... One of our favorite actors, Morgan Freeman narrates!  

If your kids' only knowledge of Lemurs and Madagascar is animated anthropomorphic critters talking and singing "I like to move it move it..." then come out and introduce them to the real deal.  Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction and nature is COOL. And for presentation, IMAX® 3D footage is sure to impress as well. 

SYNPOSIS:                         

Academy Award® winner Morgan Freeman narrates Island of Lemurs: Madagascar, the incredible true story of nature’s greatest explorers—lemurs. Captured with IMAX® 3D cameras, the film takes audiences on a spectacular journey to the remote and wondrous world of Madagascar. Lemurs arrived in Madagascar as castaways millions of years ago and evolved into hundreds of diverse species but are now highly endangered. Join trailblazing scientist Patricia Wright on her lifelong mission to help these strange and adorable creatures survive in the modern world.

Directed by David Douglas and written and produced by Drew Fellman, Island of Lemurs: Madagascar is a presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures and IMAX Entertainment.
