Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 continues the story of inventor Flint Lockwood, who discovers that his invention from the first film, a machine that can turn water into food, is still working but now creates mutant food beasts. Now, he and his friends must save the world from them.
In animated comedy Free Birds, two turkeys travel back in time to try and stop turkey from being on the first Thanksgiving menu. But what they see and who they meet changes their preconceptions of the world and themselves forever.
Disney’s Frozen tells the story of Anna, who teams up with mountain man Kristoff and his loyal reindeer Sven, to find her sister Elsa, whose power to create ice and snow has trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.
Finally, in Rise of the Guardians, an evil spirit called Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, meaning the immortal Guardians – including Jack Frost and the Easter Bunny – must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs, and imaginations of children all over the world.
