Love Cinema Del Ray? You’ll like this: The summertime monthly weekend film fest has been extended into September, when residents will get a chance to see Disney’s Academy Award-winning “Big Hero 6.”

The annual outdoor film series is held monthly, usually from May through August on Saturday nights and is sponsored by Jen Walker, McEnearney Associates.

Cinema Del Ray is free-of-charge, and is located on the fields of the Mount Vernon Recreation Center at Mt. Vernon and Commonwealth avenues. Movie-goers bring blankets and picnics, but are asked to leave puppy friends at home. Popcorn and other movie snacks are available for purchase. Movies start at sunset (about 8:30 p.m.).

Here’s the rest of the schedule:

• August 15: Finding Nemo
• Sept. 19: Big Hero 6

Here’s some information about “Finding Nemo”: Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken from his Great Barrier Reef home to a dentist’s office aquarium. It’s up to his worrisome father Marlin and his friendly but forgetful regal blue tang fish Dory to bring Nemo home -- meeting vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish, hungry seagulls, and more along the way.
