ince it was established in 2010, Manchester Day

has brought together local artists, communities

and businesses for a spectacular display of

pride in their city. That was all cut short

by the Covid pandemic, but now the

event is back – and it promises to

be better than ever.

On 19 June, the famous

Manchester Day Parade will

weave for about a mile through

Manchester’s streets. The day will

be dedicated to the city’s young people

as part of the 2022 Our Year campaign,

a programme launched to help make up for all the

opportunities lost by children during the pandemic.

In the run-up to the big day, there’ll

be workshops where people can get

involved in creating the displays.

Councillor Pat Karney, chair of the

event, said, “Manchester Day is

already giving young people an

opportunity to collaborate with

artists to get their creative juices

flowing and make a contribution

to an event that every year attracts

thousands of people into the city.”

Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers

Disney+

The characters Chip ’n Dale first appeared in their

own original animated television series, although

it ended back in 1990. Still, that’s no reason not

to have a whole lot of fun with their clever new

film, which is now streaming on Disney+.

It follows the pair in the aftermath of their

television success and explores what happens to

other animated heroes – including some very

familiar ones – once fame has passed. It’s a very

funny film that might remind you of The Lego

Movie. It also revives an older-style blend of live

action and animation, like the classic Who

Framed Roger Rabbit. You can find that on

Disney+ if you fancy watching that famous

mystery film as well and spotting the similarities.

A comeback

that’s part

live action,

part cartoon.

Manchester prepares to party

Young people are

the focus of the day.
