A screening of the animated film Monsters vs. Aliens slated for this Friday in Port Credit has been switched to another movie about a young boy and a magical candy factory.
Tim Burton's 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, starring Johnny Depp, will replace Monsters vs. Aliens at the Rotary Club of Mississauga Lakeshore's Movie Nights in the Park at Port Credit Memorial Park. Organizers said because a theatre in Mississauga decided to screen Monsters vs. Aliens a little longer than originally expected, the Rotary Club had to make the switch.
About 500 people turned up this past Friday to enjoy a free screening of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.
The series continues with E.T. (July 24), Ironman (Aug. 7), Journey to the Centre of the Earth (Aug. 14) and Up (Aug. 28).
The movies start about 8:15 p.m. and admission is free.
Organizers have asked those interested in attending to bring lawn chairs and blankets to sit on.

If music is more your thing, the Sunset Concert Series in the park continues on Sunday, July 19 with a performance by the Mississauga Big Band Jazz Ensemble. Show time is 6:30 p.m.
The series continues with the Mississauga Swing Band (July 26), Toronto Shadows (Aug. 9), Mississauga Academy of Steel Band Music (Aug. 16) and Carlos Bastidas Latin Journey (Aug. 30).
