1. The Wild Robot (showing in 2D, IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX and Superscreen)

Expect a feast for the eyes, ears and emotions in this stirring adaptation of Peter Brown's bestselling novel. The DreamWorks bods behind How To Train Your Dragon present a visually stunning animated adventure about a marooned robot, Roz, who bonds with an orphaned baby gosling on a remote tropical island, in the process becoming his surrogate mother.

Director Chris Sanders, also responsible for the Disney hit Lilo & Stitch (2002), marshals a powerful story of parenthood, sentience and the impetus to find one's place in the world. Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o voices the increasingly self-aware Roz while the starry supporting cast includes Kit Connor, Pedro Pascal, Catherine O' Hara, Bill Nighy, Ving Rhames and Mark Hamill.

2. Transformers One (showing in 2D, IMAX, 4DX and Superscreen)

This animated Transformers origin story is an entertaining and good-natured palate-cleanser following the headbanging noise of the Michael Bay live-action movies. Taking its spiritual cue from the cult classic 1986 Transformers film, Transformers One explores the origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, exploring how their bond turned to rivalry and endangered the Transformers' home planet of Megatron.

Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry voice the two Hasbro icons and receive strong vocal support from Scarlett Johansson, Laurence Fishburne, Steve Buscemi and Jon Hamm.

Heroic poodle Freddy Lupin thinks he has everything it takes to lead his werewolf pack, but earning the respect of his packmates proves to be a challenge. If only he were more… wolfish. But when a wayward wish transforms him into a werewolf and deposits a mischievous moon spirit on earth, Freddy must restore the cosmic order before it’s too late.

With Batty and his dog pals along for the ride, Freddy must seek out a dangerous sorceress with a grudge against the wolf pack, before his new moon spirit friend runs out of life energy and fades away.
