DALLAS, TX. Following an incredibly successful public television broadcast and global digital release, the heartwarming documentary “What’s The Story, Wishbone?” is coming to Regal Cinemas for a one-day-only theatrical event on Saturday, Sept. 19th, with tickets on sale now.
Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the beloved Peabody Award & Emmy Winning PBS series, “What’s The Story, Wishbone?” takes audiences behind the scenes of the groundbreaking children’s show that turned classic literature into must-see television and became a cultural phenomenon for a generation.
The documentary will screen at select Regal Cinemas across the country, with participating markets including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, Fort Worth, Washington, D.C., Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Antonio, Stockton, Modesto, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and more.
The Regal Cinemas screenings mark the latest chapter in a successful year for the documentary. “What’s The Story, Wishbone?” first aired on more than 200 public television stations nationwide from May 27 through June 9 before beginning its global digital release June 10. The film debuted at No. 1 among documentaries on Apple, and remained in the Top 10 for more than two months.

“Ever since the documentary came out, we’ve heard from Wishbone fans across the country asking when they’d have a chance to see it in a theater. This Regal event grew directly out of that response. There’s something special about seeing how this incredibly ambitious little show became a cultural phenomenon on the big screen,” states director Joey Stewart.
Directed by Joey Stewart (“Wishbone,” “The Night of the White Pants,” “The Seventh Day,” “Walker, Texas Ranger”), the documentary pulls back the curtain on how a small dog with a big imagination brought classic literature to life for millions of kids, earning television’s highest achievements, the Peabody Award as well as multiple Emmy Awards, and a loyal fanbase around the globe. Featuring the writers, cast and the voice of Wishbone, alongside the creators behind the show, the film explores the ambition, chaos, and lasting impact of one of the most unique children’s series ever made, with commentary from voices including Mo Rocca, George W. Bush, and Dan Rather.
