Grab all your friends and get ready for the second film in our summer series Beat the Heat, Ernest and Celestine! Deep below snowy, cobblestone streets, tucked away in networks of winding subterranean tunnels, lives a civilization of hardworking mice, terrified of the bears who live above ground. Unlike her fellow mice, Celestine is an artist and a dreamer – and when she nearly ends up as breakfast for ursine troubadour Ernest, the two form an unlikely bond. A tale of unlikely friendship that’s sure to warm even the grumpiest bear’s heart!
