I come from a different era. Back when we had four channels, and one of those four was PBS. That’s why Saturday mornings were sacred in the '80s and '90s. Cartoons meant something, and while there was also gratuitous violence and you never really learned any life lessons, cartoons were gold.

A small independent theatre in Fort Collins is taking childhood nostalgia to the next level by offering “Toons at Noon,” a free event for the community.

If you’ve never been to the Lyric Theatre in Fort Collins, you’re missing out on a very chill and overall different experience. From the setting to the backdrop, everything about the Lyric Theatre just feels different.

Yes, you can see movies currently in theaters, but you can also re-watch classics, or maybe even some classic cartoons.
