Brampton moviegoers can get hands-on with some critters and learn about the circle of life at Movies Under the Stars this week.

The city is screening The Lion King at its weekly movie night in Garden Square on Thursday, and special guests Hands On Exotics are bringing some furry, feathered and scaly friends for watchers to interact with.

Based in Toronto, Hands on Exotics provides animal assisted therapy, animal education, and works with animal actors for film, television and fashion photography.

Moviegoers of all ages and interests are invited to Garden Square to interact with the animals and take in a Disney classic.
