THE LITTLE MERMAID THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE

The Little Mermaid - At Vue Now

What's This Then?

Everyone’s favourite mermaid (and a top tier Disney Princess) is finally getting her moment in the live-action-remake spotlight. It’s been a long time coming.

Why they'll love it?

If they’ve already seen the animated version, they will be super excited to see it all come to ‘real life’. If they haven’t, they will be among the first to see the magical underwater kingdom like it’s never been seen before. Catchy songs and all.

Why you'll love it

Chances are you know the Disney version pretty well, and the remake is close - right down to the songs. Who doesn’t love a little nostalgia?

The Super Mario Bros. Movie - At Vue Now

What's This Then?

It’s-a Mario! His first big screen adventure in many years, and he’s off to save the Mushroom Kingdom from the formidable Koopa King… Bowser. 

Why they'll love it?

It’s super colourful, super fast and super fun, with lots of voices they will recognise (including Chris Pratt, Anna Taylor-Joy and Jack Black!)

Why you'll love it

There’s no doubt you have some fondness for that high-jumping, mushroom-loving, Koopa-stomping plumber and his chums. So there are plenty of ‘for the grownups’ jokes, Nintendo-nostalgia, callbacks, and easter eggs. It’s a good 90 minutes of pure entertainment that will keep everyone happy.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - At Vue Now

What's This Then?

The third installment of the Guardians series, which sees the introduction of Adam Warlock (he’s a beast) the return of Gamora (well, sort of) and a Rocket-centric storyline which will melt even the coldest heart.

Why they'll love it?

I mean, it’s Marvel… in space. Older kids will love the beautifully captured space-action, the plentiful opportunities for Marvel-nerdery, and the cheeky dialogue. Younger kids will be enthralled by the characters, the colours and the mild peril. Oh, and there’s a talking otter.

Why you'll love it

It’s very much a film for literally everyone, just like every other Marvel. And it’s a good one. You’d probably go see it without the kids if you had the chance… are we right? You might want to pack some tissues though. It’s a heart-wrencher.

Boonie Bears: Guardian Code - At Vue 26 May

What's This Then?

This is the 9th film in the animated Boonie Bears series - but you can probably start it from here. Briar and Bramble mysteriously lost their mother when they were cubs. Now they’re full grown bears, and they want answers. Adventure time!

Why they'll love it?

It’s an action packed sci-fi adventure that will take them (and you) to some truly awesome places, and inspire many wider thoughts, including the animal-AI dynamic, and our burgeoning relationship with machines.

Why you'll love it

Behind all the silliness and fantasy there are deep themes of familial love - particularly maternal love. It’s moving, it’s sweet and it’s actually quite thought-provoking in places, and a good place to start forming the all-important AI conversation. And yes, that’s definitely a conversation worth having.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret - At Vue 19 May

What's This Then?

Judy Blume’s coming of age classic, and something of a groundbreaker in the field of “puberty is rather embarrassing and gross, isn’t it?” Even if you haven’t read it, you have certainly read or watched something influenced by it.

Why they'll love it?

They’ll either relate to it (hard) or be better prepared for when they have to! It’s funny, it’s validating and it helps everyone feel a little bit more normal. There’s a reason the book is a classic. 

Why you'll love it

Hey, we were all that age once. And a refresher on the hellish hilarity of it all could be fun. And if all else fails, you will find plenty to relate to (and laugh with) with the parents as they tackle puberty from the other side.

The Dark Knight Rises - At Vue 2 June

What's This Then?

An oldie, but a goldie. We’re putting The Dark Knight Rises back on the big screen from 2 June 2023 to celebrate 100 years of Warner Bros. This is the third and final installment of Nolan’s iconic Bat-triology back where you can enjoy the action.

Why they'll love it?

It’s Batman, it’s Catwoman, it’s Bane. It’s cool stunts, explosions and moderate peril. Perfect for slightly older kids, who'll love every second of the chaos. 

Why you'll love it

It may well be your favourite in the series. It could just as easily be your least favourite. Either way, it’s a long action thriller that will keep your teens entertained, start-to-finish. And you can chat about the plot twists all the way home.

Mini Mornings - Tickets for £2.49/€2.99

What's This Then?

For this summer’s ever-popular Mini-Mornings, we have something new: Epic Tales. For the uninitiated, these are morning showings of pre-school friendly films designed with smols - and their grown ups - in mind. We will turn down the sound and turn up the comfort and care for these special screenings, so come along whenever you want for a bit of chill time.

Epic Tales is inspired by the tale of Jason and the Argonauts (or at least, a tale featuring the Classics character). It’s told by an adventurous mouse, and his adoptive mother… who is a cat. Together they save the ancient Greek city of Yolcos from the wrath of Poseidon.

Why they'll love it?

It’s a fun animated adventure set in the ancient mediterranean! They will love the opportunity to explore a seldom-seen animated world, and learn a little bit about the myths and legends in the process.

Why you'll love it

It’s gently educational, and a fun way to explore a lesser touched upon piece of history. And if all else fails, it’s bright, it’s colourful, and there are plenty of soothing sea scenes and sounds. Your Minis will love that, and therefore so will you.
