In a nearby parking spot was Eduardo Cavalcanti, who came with his three kids. He readied a lawn chair for himself outside his car, leaving his daughters to the front seats, and plopped his young son on the vehicle's roof. From there, the boy had a better view of the animated film.

"My kids couldn't stand being stuck inside home anymore," Cavalcanti said. "My wife saw the ad for the drive-in and suggested we come. It was the only option to leave home and still stay safe."
