Oakland, California’s Fentons Creamery and Restaurant, celebrating 115 years of making ice cream this month, might just be the oldest movie star since Old Rose got teary-eyed in Titanic. The venerable ice cream parlor has a small but significant role in Disney/Pixar’s Up. Apparently, folks at the Emeryville animation studio celebrate completed deadlines by heading up the road to the Oakland classic, and they honored it in the film.

All through July, National Ice Cream Month, bring a same-day Up ticket stub into the Oakland or Vacaville locations and get a free scoop of ice cream. Also check fentonscreamery.com for news for big birthday celebrations at all locations, slated for July 18.
