FOR THE YOUNGER ONES

SURFS UP 2: WAVEMANIA
Based on the groundbreaking revelation that surfing was actually invented by penguins, this lovable film follows the tale of wave-riding Cody Maverick, a talented penguin hungry for a new challenge.

Together with his surfing crew, Cody journeys to 'The Trenches' where he finds the biggest waves in the world. However, Cody soon discovers that the life he left behind might be more heroic than what any death-defying wave has to offer. This is for little ones who love exploring.

SING
You know you're in for a good time when this whole film is based around a singing competition hosted by a dapper little koala known as Buster (Matthew McConaughey).

The selection of performers that respond to Buster's call-out for talent is not only surprising, but highly entertaining. From the lovable mum of 25 piglets, Rosita (Scarlett Johansson), to the greedy, self-centered mouse, Mike (Seth McFarlane), this is a hilarious and exciting story line that'll have you singing along the whole way through.

You can watch Sing here on Bigpond Movies.

 

MOANA

Delight your little ones by bringing the latest Disney adventure straight to your lounge room. The entertaining animated film is set in Ancient Polynesia and follows the story of Moana - a loveably fiesty Chieftain's daughter who has to fight off a curse on her island.

Come on an action-packed voyage, as Moana sails across the ocean, encountering sea monsters and impossible odds. This is sure to become a new family favourite that your kids will ask for again and again.

TROLLS
You probably played with them while growing up, brushing their colourful, fluffy hair into a tip, and now Dreamworks have turned these adorable little dolls into an animated film your kids will love. 

Featuring the voices of Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake and Russell Brand (amongst a star-studded cast), this adventurous film follows the story of Poppy, the happiest Troll ever born, and the overly-cautious, curmudgeonly Branch who set off on a journey to rescue her friends.

MONSTER HIGH: ELECTRIFIED
Based on the range of fashion dolls featuring surprisingly fashionable monsters and 'normies' (humans), this fun film is all about half-werewolf Clawdeen's plans to open a beauty salon. However, her dreams are threatened when enemy Moanica plots to ruin the whole thing, replacing the celebration with something a little more…shocking!

Luckily the ghouls have a secret weapon on their side…Twyla, the daughter of the Boogey Man, and the perfect ghoul to unearth any mystery. Don't worry, though, this one isn't too scary for your little ones.

They are awoken in their hibernation pods 90 years before they're due to reach their destination, and spend the rest of the film trying to unravel the mystery behind the malfunction.
