The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants
Are you ready, kids (at heart)? The sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea is back with his fourth theatrically released movie. Our absorbent yellow protagonist, SpongeBob (Tom Kenny), is now “36 clams tall” and reckons he’s a “big guy”. Inspired by his boss Mr. Krabs’ (Clancy Brown) tales of derring-do, our little hero and his bestie Patrick Star (Bill Fagerbakke) embark on a deadly odyssey to prove he has the “intestinal fortitude” to be a swashbuckler. Along the way, they run into trouble in the form of the ghastly Flying Dutchman (Mark Hamill) and his first mate, Barb (Regina Hall).

If nautical nonsense is something you enjoy, there are oceans of it in this delightful entry in the beloved Nickelodeon franchise, directed by series veteran Derek Drymon and written by Pam Brady (South Park) and Matt Lieberman (Free Guy). Fans will lap up appearances from long-time Bikini Bottom dwellers Squidward Tentacles (Rodger Bumpass), Sandy Cheeks (Carolyn Lawrence), and Plankton (Mr. Lawrence — no relation to Carolyn), who get swept along in the saccharine simpleton’s shenanigans.

Zootopia 2
Everyone’s favourite animal crime-solving duo is back. In this long-awaited sequel to the animated hit, rookie rabbit cop Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and her sly, sharp-tongued partner Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) return for their biggest case yet. 

Signs of a mysterious snake slithering into the mammal metropolis of Zootopia show up, unsettling the city’s fragile balance. Judy and Nick are sent undercover to uncover the truth. But as the mystery deepens, so do the cracks in their partnership. With danger closing in and the future of Zootopia at stake, the two must learn to trust each other like never before. 

Packed with fast-paced fun, heartfelt charm, and plenty of Nick’s signature sarcasm, Zootopia 2 is a family adventure full of laughs, surprises, and animal-sized thrills. 

Dream Animals: The Movie
The beloved Japanese animal biscuits are leaping from snack time to screen time.  

First launched in 1978, these characters have been adored for generations. Dream Animals: The Movie brings Tabekko Doubutsu to life with rich personalities and big-hearted charm, as the lion, monkey, rabbit, and their fellow cookie companions set off on a sweet but epic adventure. 

The movie is set in the magical Sweets Land, a whimsical world where humans and sentient confectionery live side by side. But disaster strikes when the Dream Animals return after a world tour. An army of candyfloss villains known as the Gottons has set its sights on world domination, and it’s up to the Dream Animals gang to save their sugary homeland.

A Minecraft Movie
Based on the world’s No. 1 best-selling video game, A Minecraft Movie sees doorknob salesman Steve (Jack Black) and has-been video game champion Garrett ‘The Garbage Man’ Garrison (Jason Momoa) being whisked away to the Overworld, an alternate universe where anything you imagine can be crafted from blocks.

Along with a bunch of other misfits, they have to find a way home while evading explosive creepers, terrifying zombies, and an evil piglin (a hostile race of pig-like humanoids in Minecraft) ruler who is after a powerful artefact in their possession.

Director Jared Hess, of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre fame, brings his brand of absurdist comedy to this block party of a blockbuster, the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2025 and the second-highest-grossing video game movie to date. The flick also gave birth to the ‘chicken jockey’ meme, which saw real-life theatregoers act berserk when the line is said during a fight scene.
