The wild west came to Johannesburg on Tuesday evening as Timmy The Kid officially celebrated its premiere at CineCentre Northgate, bringing together cast, creatives, media, families and special guests for a night of eats, treats and plenty of western flair.
Situated next to Total Ninja, the premiere created the perfect setting for a fun-filled, family-friendly celebration of the new South African family comedy.
