El Captain Theatre

ハリウッドのエル・キャプテン・シアターにジム・キャリーのクリスマスキャロルを見に行ってきました。ディズニーが所有している映画館で地元の人に人気があり混むと聞いたので、あらかじめオンラインでチケットを購入しました。あいにくの雨で、ちょっと寒い日。

We went to El Captain Theatre in Hollywood to watch Jim Carry's Christmas Carol. This theater is owned by Disney, and is very popular among the locals, I heard, so I bought the tickets on line in advance. Unfortunately it was a rainy and chilly day.



中に入るとおじさんがオルガンでクリスマス・ソングを演奏していた。ありとあらゆる楽器の音がでる不思議なオルガン。

When we entered (there is only one screen in this theater), this gentleman was playing festive tunes on this organ. This was a very interesting instrument that makes all kinds of sounds including a trumpet's or even a bell's.


由緒ある建物らしく、なかはかなり凝ったつくりです。

This theater seems to have a history, and the inside decoration was pretty elaborating.



前座としてディズニー・キャラクターのショーもついてくる。

Before the feature presentation, they do a small show with Disney characters.



映画は3Dで面白かったよ。でも英語があんまりききとれなかったけど。映画館の地下にはこの映画のスキットや衣装が飾ってあった。大人16ドル、子ども14ドルと、ただの映画にしては随分とお高いけど、いろいろとおまけがついてくるということなのかな。道を渡るとチャイニーズ・シアター。ドナルドダックの足跡と一緒に一枚。

The movie was fun. We enjoyed it very much. I had a difficulty with English they were speaking though. On the lower floor of the theater, there was a small exhibit with skits and costumes they used in the movie. We paid $16 for adult and $14 for child. It is expensive, but is probably worth it. Across the street is Mann's Chinese Theater. Here is a shot with Donal Duck's foot prints.
