Every Saturday morning Rosie brings out her secret stash of pipe cleaners, glitter, glue, paper plates and other inedibles, in preparation for our Saturday Morning Kids’ Club.
Brilliantly inventive craft activities themed to that day’s film, so the 5-11 year olds can exercise the creative half of their brain, while the adults wake up theirs with a cup of strong Colombian (or a bucks fizz or a bloody mary – or whatever it takes).
Activities start at 11:15, with the film starting around 11:30.
Playing around while aboard a cruise ship, the Chipmunks and Chipettes accidentally go overboard and end up marooned in a tropical paradise. They discover their new turf is not as deserted as it seems. This may be a chip off the old block, but it lives up to a high standard of family-pleasing fun!
This delightful French animation (English spoken here!) tells the story of a charming deliveryman, a hopeless romantic, a beautiful and talented opera singer, and an eccentric scientist with his monkey who all team up to protect their beloved Paris from a hideous monster who’s been terrorising its citizens. Until, that is, they discover that the fiend in question wouldn’t hurt a fly, and is supremely musically talented to boot. Now they must fight to defend the monster from those out to harm him, namely the city’s callous and ignorant police chief.
Short and sweet, with catchy song-and-dance numbers from real-life French musiciansVanessa Paradis and Mathieu Chedid (aka “M”), the colorful recreations of historic Paris is something for older Francophiles to enjoy. French director Bibo Bergeron put in time in LA, acquiring his CGI animation chops at Dreamworks until deciding to return home. Luc Besson is on board as producer, making this is a wholly French entrant into the kids flix market – and all the better for it! With a talented English voice-cast, this has all the charm but is a little less knowing than the typical Hollywood equivalent. Amusez-vous bien!
Back in middle school after summer vacation, Greg Heffley and his older brother Rodrick must deal with their parents’ misguided attempts to have them bond… As if!
