Disney’s “A WRINKLE IN TIME” will be available in theaters March 9 and I am anticipating its arrival. After reading this timeless classic novel written by author Madeleine L’Engle, it will be fun to pay attention to the nuances and special touches film director Ava DuVernay used for the adaptation of this movie.
As a special treat to appease our “Warrior” appetites, Disney just released some fabulous coloring and activity sheets for everyone young and old to enjoy. I love it when I can share pieces of a new film via a coloring aspect. Feel free to download the files below, and view a video from the WRINKLE IN TIME Hollywood, California premiere as the enchanting characters discuss their roles in the film as well.

ABOUT THE FILM
From visionary director Ava DuVernay comes Disney’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” an epic adventure based on Madeleine L’Engle’s timeless classic which takes audiences across dimensions of time and space, examining the nature of darkness versus light and, ultimately, the triumph of love. Through one girl’s transformative journey led by three celestial guides, we discover that strength comes from embracing one’s individuality and that the best way to triumph over fear is to travel by one’s own light.
Meg Murry is a typical middle school student struggling with issues of self-worth who just wants to fit in. The daughter of two world-renowned physicists, she is intelligent and uniquely gifted, as is Meg’s younger brother, Charles Wallace, but she has yet to realize it for herself.
Complicating matters is the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Murry, which has left Meg devastated and her mother broken-hearted. Charles Wallace introduces Meg and her fellow classmate Calvin to three celestial beings (Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who) who have journeyed to Earth to help search for their father, and together they embark on their formidable quest. Travelling via a wrinkling of time and space known as tessering, they are transported to worlds beyond their imagination where they must confront a powerful evil force. To make it back home to Earth, Meg must face the darkness within herself in order to harness the strength necessary to defeat the darkness rapidly enveloping the Universe.
