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.
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.
Walking with Dinosaurs, which is based on the 1999 BBC series, gives audiences the chance to see and feel what it was like when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. A breakthrough in technology means there are new and unique dinosaurs that are more real than ever and put moviegoers in the middle of a prehistoric adventure, where an underdog dinosaur triumphs against the odds to become a hero for the ages.
