PERFECT AMBIANCE. One of the last great places to see CLASSIC Disney Films . The VIP is only a few dollars more and WELL WORTH IT. Celebrity spotting is very common at the movie premiers here.

Narine

Recently saw Star Wars there. It was quite the experience! Gorgeous, classic theater, laser shows, organ player . Awesome evening out and you get the total Hollywood Blvd. experience when you get out!

James Gubera

Beautiful old theater. Worth seeing a movie here just to see the insides. Definitely get here early if you don't buy a VIP seat; Disney fans are always early and eager.

Built in 1926, El Capitan theater is designated as LA cultural-historic monument . Although remodeled a few times, there's no lack of old school charm here. It's bursting with architectural details

Nathan Ray

Check the schedule for special events , where you can find 4D movie screenings with special effects, museum-style prop displays in the basement , and pre-show performances by Disney characters.

Alexia Cardenas

The organ player before the movie was amazing. Not to mention the decor they had for the movie in the lobby. Sometimes they'll give out posters for the film . Sound is a bit funky since it's old?

My 2 dtrs and I were here for Cinderella yesterday and it was a great show! 3D floral designs projected on walls and ceiling to coincide with film opening. And confetti cannons blowing pastel petals!

LA Otaku

Our favorite theater in all of Los Angeles. If you love Disney movies , this is the place to go see them all. Get the VIP tickets ; they include reserved seating, popcorn and a drink.

Miriam Goldman

One of my favourite cinemas . Going here is an experience. Arrive early for the organ music or to experience the movie-specific exhibits downstairs.

Holly W.

Can validate for 2 bucks parking at Hollywood/Highland. Throwback Thursdays for old movies are fun. They always have some kind of preshow and organ player . For some movies , you can see props.

VIP seating is the way to go!! You can order ice cream from the Disney shop, go sit down and they bring it to ur seat when its ready!! Now that is service!!

Sean Robison

Beautiful old school Hollywood theater. Always has some fun pre-show entertainment.

Dan Gerbarg

Of the lesser-experienced sacraments in the great Cult of Disney is attending mass at this cathedral of cartoon, grin agape as anthropomorphic temple priests gyrate and howl in praise of Walt’s ghost

Silent Hollywood

Real estate don C E Toberman, “the father of Hollywood,” built the largest legit theater in LA in 1926. It became a movie house and is now owned by Disney and filled with little princess and pirates.

Martin Logan

You can take a tour of the theater as well which is really interesting and much calmer than the crowds across the street

Ross Sheingold

VIP reserved is a must if you're looking to optimize your audio and visual experience. Center orchestra, row DD, seat 107 is a great seat.

Danielle Neufeld

Lion King 3D was amazinggg. Balcony was great except you definitely will have a view of someone's head partially blocking the screen throughout the movie based on how the seats are angled.

R Williams

Get on mailing list both email and snail mail for early notice of all kinds of cool Disney special events .

Rebecca M.

Your ticket to "Cars 2" (which began today) entitles you to enter their one-of-kind carnival after the movie . It's a short walk and you'll be guided by staff all along the way. Fun for kids and adults

Turner Classic Movies

Rumors persist that a secret underground tunnel runs between the El Capitan and Grauman's Chinese Theater, used by early movie stars to evade the crush of fans following Hollywood premieres.

Leticia Campos

LOVE The place but if you don't get vip tickets you need to get there an hour+ before the show to get good seats????

ᴡ Cope

VIP ticket gets you popcorn , a drink, an assigned seat and you get to pass the crazy line ! Totally worth it.

Dani K.

In the lower level there are currently original costumes and props of the movie Maleficient! Check it out it's amazing!

Jack Chen

They will do a partial validation for the cost of your parking if you park at the Hollywood & Highland Center. Don't forget to bring your parking stub.

Dmitry Kuznetsov

Great old theatre!! Must visit!

Christopher Lozano

Currently 1 of 4 theaters in U.S. that support high dynamic range movies (Dolby Vision). Great experience.

Bobby Ballesteros

Get the VIP package. I like the popcorn in the bucket and drinks Worth it for me.

Los Angeles

The 20th anniversary “Scare-ebration” of The Nightmare Before Christmas is taking place exclusively at the landmark El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood from Oct. 15 to Nov. 3.

Bobby Fromer

Love the El Capitan Theatre!!! Thank you Disney for restoring and saving this spectacular Theatre and is Pipe Organ and other facilities!!!

M.U.S.E. - Music Unity Sports Entertainment

A classic movie house and reminiscent of days long gone. The theater shows classic Disney cartoons from time to time.

Colin Stark

Beautiful theatre. If the film is no good just soak up the architecture !

Stephen Koontz

This is THE place to see a Disney movie , whether it's new or a classic.

N Gamero

VIP Balcony !! Props display ????

Neal U.

Amazing place to see a movie . They have an organ player !

David Miraglia

Popcorn isn't great and no fountain drinks?! What's the point of going to the movies ? The live organist that plays before each film is amazing, but I still prefer Arclight or Grove.

Courtney Rios

The El Capitan should get people who like working there! With the economy I am sure there are lots of people who would be grateful for their jobs!!!

Dmitry Kuznetsov

State of the art cinema , newest movie !!!

Zk

Came here with out of town friends just after 5:30am after a night of partying to see Zootopia and they were closed!! Wtf. 5 stars

David Fein

Dolbyvision Projection is fantastic, as is the Atmos sound!

R Williams

The place to see Disney movies ! Collect unique to this theater Disney pins

Probably the finest, most fantastic flickerhouse I've even seen. This is the golden age rekindled.

Veanney Hurtado

Thanks to Disney El Capitan theatre is every little kids dream of what a actual movie theatre would be.

Really interesting and fun for a special event .

Adrian Angulo

Park across the street at the mall . You can get you parking validated here.

The displays are always worth the trip!

This theatre tends to show classic Disney movies right around the same time that they are relaunched on Blu-Ray.
