We love seeing movies on the big screen, but it can sometimes be hard to find them in English. In Switzerland, most kid movies will show in the original language on one screen for the first two weeks, maybe longer if the movie is very popular. So it’s important to see movies when they first come out if you want to see them in the original language.
In Zurich, the Sihlcity, Corso and Abaton theaters usually have at least one screen with a kids’ movie in English. Look for the E/d/f symbol next to the movie title, the capital letter E indicating the spoken language will be English. The small letters indicate subtitle languages.
In addition, Film Podium Zurich has started showing classic kids’ movies in English, usually one a month on a Sunday afternoons. This is part of the Kinderkino program, which show other kids’ movies in the original larnguage. Film Podium is a special arthouse movie theater focusing on classic and artistic films, often hosting programs focusing on a director, actor or film genre. They usually show the films in the original language, meaning you can often see films in English.
If your kids speak German, the Kindercity Kino shows new and classic kids’ movies, but always dubbed into German.
