The third movie of our 2024 Summer Film Series will be "The Little Mermaid." This outstanding animated musical film was released in 1989 by Walt Disney Pictures. To commemorate what would have been President Bush's 100th birthday this summer, we looked at a list of 100 best family-friendly movies and selected four of our favorites that came out when President Bush was in office.
This story follows the fun-loving and mischievous mermaid, Ariel, the youngest daughter of King Triton. The rebellious teen is fascinated by the world above but is forbidden by her father to see it. During one of her visits she falls for a human prince. Determined to be with her new love, Ariel makes a dangerous deal with the sea witch Ursula to become human for three days. But when plans go awry for the star-crossed lovers, the king must make the ultimate sacrifice for his daughter.
Bring your blankets and lawn chairs as we enjoy this film under the stars. Games and free refreshments (while supplies last) will begin at 7 p.m., and the movie will start just after sundown. You may bring your coolers, but please no pets or glass containers.

This movie is being shown in conjunction with The Spirit of the Place, a special exhibit for 41@100: A Celebration of George H.W. Bush. This exhibit will explore the George H.W. Bush Presidential Center's place in our community and its impact on the world. From the initial conversations to place the Bush Library & Museum at Texas A&M University, to the full development of the Bush Presidential Center, visitors will discover how President Bush and his ongoing legacy are intertwined with the Spirit of Aggieland. This exhibit will be on display in the Ansary Gallery of American History from June 10, 2024 - January 12, 2025.
