Our take on... Frozen II
As with “Toy Story 4” from a couple of months ago, I haven’t seen this film as at the time of writing, but luckily my 8 year old daughter Lilliana has, and she was more than happy to take the time from her busy schedule to sit down with me and answer some questions I have about the film...

The Disney live action remake bandwagon rolls on, with “The Lion King” having just hit cinemas and “Dumbo” arriving on home video (yes, I’m *that* old) this Friday.

Our take on... The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
Everything is most certainly not awesome for the heroes of the fist Lego movie, a surprise hit from a few years ago, as this film picks up exactly where the original left off; the arrival of the Lego Duplo to the world of Emmet and Wildstyle...
