A pop-culture-savvy animated comedy brings fairy-tale satire and family-friendly humor to an outdoor screening at SoundScape Park.
SoundScape Cinema Series: Shrek 2 takes place Wednesday, April 1 at SoundScape Park.

The film balances slapstick comedy with themes of identity and acceptance, contributing to its lasting popularity within the animated genre.
The screening is part of the City of Miami Beach’s SoundScape Cinema Series and begins at 8 p.m. Admission is free with no ticket required. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs for seating on the lawn and enjoy the film on the New World Center’s large-scale outdoor projection wall.
