Packed with laughs, charm and plenty of baa-rilliant moments, The Sheep Detectives is fun for the whole family.

Minions & Monsters 

Given this is the third Minions movie, stemmed from the Despicable Me franchise, it goes without saying those weird little yellow guys are Hollywood movie stars. So Minions & Monsters is going meta, telling the totally true story of how the minions went about casting a monster for their movie, unleashing real monsters on the world in the process. Banana!

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

This is Tom Holland’s fourth standalone film as the web-slinger, with Peter Parker attempting to start over while facing off against Mister Negative and Menace. He’s single, broke, and has dropped down the league tables of superheroes – but Spidey fans can expect high action with heart and humour. Expect a great family film that delivers on all fronts.

Coyote vs. ACME

Wile E Coyote’s had enough. The Road Runner’s been giving him the runaround, and the ACME gadgets he bought to help him defeat the big bird have failed him one too many times. He’s not going to stand for it anymore, no siree. So off to court he goes, on a nostalgic voyage into a 2D/live-action movie that’ll please first-timers and spawn a whole new generation of fans.

The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender (9th October)

We love the premise of this elements-based movie, set in a world split into the Earth Kingdom, Water Tribe, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. The question at its heart: which airbender can master all four elements and unite the nations, not just their own? Epic storytelling for the whole family.

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom (31st October)

Want a befitting watch for Halloween that won't leave the kids unable to sleep at night? Aardman Animations' beloved sheep is back with Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, in which Shaun turns into a mad scientist in order to try and rectify their spoiled prized pumpkin patch. With the Farmer having gone missing and a mysterious beast causing a ruckus in the woods, the flock must save the day and be braved against the downright spooky.

 

 

The Cat in the Hat (6th November)

Loved by young families in book form the world over, we’re hopping with excitement about The Cat in the Hat animation. This madcap caper promises loveable lunacy delivered by the one and only cat in the hat. Pure Dr. Seuss magic on the big screen.

 

 

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (20th November)

Do we want to see a young Haymitch compete in the Hunger Games and discover how he changed them forever? You bet we do. The trailer for the prequel to the YA juggernaut shows a visually stunning Panem, an even deadlier arena and high-stakes tension. Ralph Fiennes and Maya Hawke join a star-studded cast.

 

 

Hexed (27th November)

An awkward teenager who doesn’t feel she belongs, who feels there’s something wrong with her… that’s how Billie feels until she discovers she has magic powers and stumbles into the world of witches. Disney Animation invites us to embark on their newest enchanting adventure.

 

 

Jumanji 3 (11th December)

Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan return for the final Jumanji film. Even if your family is all grown up, put the call out on WhatsApp and get yourselves down to Cineworld for a nostalgic trip back into this beloved world. One last adventure together.

Avengers: Doomsday (18th December)

It feels as though we’ve been waiting aeons for the latest epic chapter in the Marvel universe, but we’re finally on the last stretch. Not long now until we can get behind the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the Wakandans and the X-Men to face down Doctor Doom and prevent him from destroying entire worlds. This marks the first time the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and X-Men have united on the big screen in a single story. Be there.

 

 

The Angry Birds Movie 3 (23rd December)

Those destructive birds are back at it for a third time. From your smartphone to the big screen, prepare for more chaos with a stellar voice cast. From Jason Sudeikis to Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and, apparently, Psalm West, son of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
