As the idea of a bright new year dawns upon us, cinema offers you a refreshing line-up of blockbusters!

One can’t predict as to how much more damage COVID-19 is planning to wreak on the release schedule, nevertheless, from action movies, to thrillers and rom-coms, there’s much entertainment ahead on the BIG Screen in 2021.

What’s interesting though is the array of animation movies set to release now, more than ever before.

Tom & Jerry

Warner Bros. is bringing the beloved franchise back to the big screen (for the first time in almost three decades) in hybrid format.

Releasing in cinemas – 25 February

 

Raya and The Last Dragon

Walt Disney Animation Studios has committed itself to a number of original films after releasing back-to-back sequels, and first up is this fantasy epic set in the magical realm of Kumandra, a land inhabited by an ancient civilization — and dragons — which draws on the cultures of Southeast Asia.

Rumble

Paramount’s latest has gone through multiple titles, directors, and release dates, but the premise has stayed the same throughout. Based on Rob Harrell’s graphic novel Monster on a Hill, the film is set in a world where humans train monsters to fight in professional wrestling tournaments.

Minions 2: The Rise of Gru

The Rise of Gru is both a prequel and sequel within the highest-grossing animation franchise of all time.
