Also showing at the Kids’ Club this weekend :
The Lego Movie 100 mins [U] This highly acclaimed film pictured below has won numerous awards including the Best Animated Feature Film at this year’s Baftas. It follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average Lego minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers, on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously under-prepared. With the voices of Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman and Liam Neeson.
