An adventurous mouse, a royally reluctant ogre and a kung fu warrior panda will star on big screens as Gwinnett celebrates the summer with outdoor movies.

Residents are invited to bring along lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets to enjoy summer evenings at various movie venues.

At Cinema Under the Stars in Suwanee, a tap-dancing penguin will find his true calling in "Happy Feet."
