Delgo Activities

The Children’s Museum of Houston is celebrating the national premiere of Marc Adler’s animated action-adventure movie, Delgo (www.delgo.com). Adler, now a renowned film producer and director, attributes his love of movie production to the Children's Museum of Houston’s KID-TV exhibit, which he visited when he was a young boy.

The animated movie features an impressive cast including the voices of Freddie Prinze, Jr. (Delgo), late legendary actress Anne Bancroft (Sedessa) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (Kyla) in the timeless story of an unlikely hero who must rescue a princess and unite the peoples of the land of Jhamora. The fast-paced, must-see, holiday film debuts in theaters nationwide December 12.

In celebration of Delgo’s opening weekend, the Children's Museum of Houston will host all sorts of activities to introduce the characters and messages in the movie and allow children to create their own story that could inspire kids to someday become moviemakers!
