Events Description

Four cartoons drawn in Kansas City, back on a screen in the West Bottoms.

Free Movie Night: Disney’s Laugh-O-Gram Studios KC Night comes to the American Royal Hall at Rock Island Bridge on Wednesday, November 18th, from 6:30 to 9:30 PM. Kansas City was once home to Walt Disney’s earliest studio, Laugh-O-Gram, at 1127 E 31st Street. Mickey Mouse was said to have been inspired by a real mouse that lived on Walt’s desk there. Thank You, Walt Disney is working to preserve and restore that historic site. Now in the public domain, four animated shorts drawn and produced here in Kansas City play on repeat.

Here’s What to Expect:

  1. Four Laugh-O-Gram shorts: The Four Musicians of Bremen (1922), Jack the Giant Killer (1922), Cinderella (1922), and Alice’s Wonderland (1923)
  2. Films start at 6:30 PM and run on repeat until 9:30 PM
  3. Free admission
  4. Food and drinks available on the bridge
  5. A night of early Kansas City animation above the Kansas River

This event is free and open to the public. Just show up and enjoy.

Join us for lunch or dinner—our dining room and walk-up window are open daily.
From 11 AM to 3 PM, enjoy the casual Rock Island Eats lunch menu, featuring comfort-food favorites and quick bites.

Beginning at 3 PM, we serve the River House dinner menu, featuring Midwest lake-house favorites, coastal smokehouse flavors, cocktails, and scenic river views.
Prefer to grab your food and go enjoy the rest of the bridge? The walk-up window (Rock Island Eats) is open for both lunch and dinner.
