Last Summer Disney’s Planes was released and we were so excited to have the opportunity to meet both Teri Hacher and the filmmakers behind the great animation that went on to gross more than $219 million worldwide. That’s why we are pleased to announced that the second instalment Planes 2: Fire & Rescue is released to UK cinemas in 3D on 8th August 2014.
Planes: Fire & Rescue is a new…
When my son was at the nursery and then in reception he was totally obsessed with Elmer the Patchwork Elephant. I ended up buying and reading many of its books and I have become a big fan of the elephant myself 🙂 Elmer, written and illustrated by leading children’s author and artist David McKee, celebrates its 25th Anniversary at Andersen Press this Summer and we thought we bring you 25 fun…

Cat and mouse is an old English-language expression meaning constant pursuit and never-ending contest with no winners. The cat is unable to secure a definitive victory over the mouse, who despite not being able to defeat the cat, is able to escape. Stories based on this cat and mouse game are classic now with Tom & Jerry being the most famous of all.
Everyone seems to sympathise with the mouse…
When you are invited to a lot of film premieres and press conferences you know the score. Except with the launch of Extant the format was completely different. First of all it was a party and the venue was no ordinary one: the BAFTA’s building is so dense of cinema history that you feel you are sinking into it without wanting to resurface. Everything about the BAFTA is so special starting from…
Pudsey The Dog: The Movie is a heart-warming, quintessentially British adventure starring the most famous and sweetest dog from Britain. It will be released in the UK on 18th July 2014.
I was totally star struck when I met Pudsey the dog at the Soho Hotel this week. You can tell from the interview I had with Ashleigh and Pudsey. Don’t miss it!
The movie is a low budget and good fun movie to…
When a film takes years to make, it’s often not a good sign. Richard Linklater’s Boyhood took a total of 12 – and there’s absolutely nothing to worry about. He wanted it that way.

We’ve already had the frantic energy of The Lego Movie and the colour and rhythm of Rio 2, while Disney’s Planes:Fire and Rescue and Guillermo del Toro’s intriguing Book Of Life are still to come. But for now we’ll just have to settle for what could be at the top of the pile come the end of 2014. How To Train Your Dragon 2.
Those who saw the…
It may have been 12 years in the making, but Richard Linklater’s Boyhood wasn’t a film beset with production problems. That timescale was deliberate.
The director wanted to follow a boy growing up so, once a year for those 12 years, the same cast and crew got together to film the next stage. But it isn’t just the boy’s story: it’s just as much about his sister, mother and father. …
Goddess is just what we have been waiting for this Summer! It’s a lovely, fresh, romantic comedy and musical all in one. Directed by Mark Lamprell, Goddess came out in Australia in 2013 and will be on our UK screens on 4th July 2014.
