Families at Showroom this Week: Minions, Witches and Dragons
Round off half term with a Halloween weekend of monster mayhem, magical broomsticks and a colourful celebration of Día de los Muertos.
Family Time goes bananas on Saturday 31 October at 11am with Minions and Monsters (U), the totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, lost everything and unleashed monsters on the world, then banded together to clean up the mayhem.
Family Time runs every Saturday at 11am with films for ages 5+, in a relaxed setting with softened lighting and Hard of Hearing subtitles where possible. All tickets are £4.99, little ones can grab a drink and popcorn combo for £4.50, and grown-ups get 10% off café bar food with their ticket.
At 11.15am, a Halloween Toddler Kino special brings Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s Room on the Broom (U) to the big screen. A kind witch invites a surprising collection of animals onto her broom, much to her cat’s frustration, and the gang must save her from a fearsome dragon. From the makers of The Gruffalo, its voices include Gillian Anderson, Rob Brydon, Simon Pegg and David Walliams. Enjoy a free Halloween music performance from Katherine Kaims, plus crafts.
On Sunday 1 November at 11am, a Family Time Special of Hola Frida! (U) celebrates Día de los Muertos. This beautiful animation follows a little girl in Coyoacán, Mexico City, who meets every difficulty with an overflowing imagination. Her name is Frida Kahlo, and this is a colourful, tender introduction to the famous artist.
On Monday 2 November at 11.15am, Toddler Kino brings another Donaldson and Scheffler favourite, Zog (U), about a keen, accident-prone young dragon desperate to win a golden star at Dragon School. Pitched at 1–4s, Toddler Kino gently introduces the youngest to the big screen, with all tickets just £3.99.
Baby Kino follows at 12.15pm with Wicker (15), exclusively for parents or guardians accompanying babies under one year old. Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård star in the story of a ridiculed fisherwoman who, fed up with her small-minded neighbours, commissions a husband made of wicker, sparking outrage, jealousy and chaos. Baby Kino welcomes parents and new babies every Monday, with pram parking, a free hot drink and 10% off café bar food.
