RELEASED: Dec 26 DIRECTOR: Lee Unkrich, Adrian Molina CAST: Anthony Gonzalez, Benjamin Bratt, Renee Victor RATING: PG

Coco is the latest animated flick from Disney Pixar, the folks behind Finding Dory and The Incredibles . You’ll follow the life of aspiring musician Miguel, voiced by Anthony Gonzalez, as his city is in the midst of the Dia De Los Muertos – the Day of the Dead – celebrations. He’s always had a knack for music, but nobody else in his (living) family shares his passion. In fact, they shun his behaviour. He decides he needs to visit the Land of the Dead and find his ancestors there to discover the true source of his passion and talent. What will he uncover about his family’s intriguing past? The stellar voice cast also includes the likes of Benjamin Bratt, Gabriel Iglesias, and Sofia Espanosa.

RELEASED: Dec 26 DIRECTOR: Alexander Payne CAST: Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz RATING: M

Overpopulation is a concern that has many worrying about what the future may hold for housing, medical care and other societal issues. However, screenwriters Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor may have the answer in Downsizing . What if you could safely shrink yourself down into a more compact version, live in a smaller town, with smaller friends, and have your wealth multiplied beyond belief? Let’s not forget that you’re helping to save the planet at the same time, with these new micro-cities and developments taking up barely any room in the grand scheme of things. This social satire stars the comedic wit of Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Sudeikis among others, and will no doubt keep both the young and young at heart laughing all the way through.
