Here's what's worth catching at the cinemas these school holidays

From a mile-a-minute Filipino, to a claymation that will keep littlies in their seats, to a very-nearly-shelved Looney Tunes caper, there is something that will keep all age groups happy.

Here's what's worth catching at the cinemas these school holidays

As the school holidays arrive, there are several films worth catching at the cinemas. The newest children's film, Coyote vs Acme, features Dave Green's long-awaited Looney Tunes caper. This movie follows Wile E Coyote as he sues the company Acme after decades of accidents caused by their faulty products. The film is notable for its style and humor, which may not reach the heights of its predecessor but still delivers a genuinely funny and touching experience.

Another animated film, Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, offers a claymation spectacular that is visually arresting and well-crafted. The movie blends southern gothic and noir elements, with memorable cinematography by Ante Cheng and a jazzy score by Terence Blanchard.

Forgotten Island is a unique hybrid animation that blends the Hangover and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, creating a magical experience. The film follows two best friends, Jo and Raissa, who discover a portal to an island of mythological creatures. They must navigate the island, avoid dangerous creatures, and solve their own forgotten memories while dealing with their own personal struggles.

Heart of the Beast is a survival adventure that puts James Belmont (Brad Pitt) and his dog Odin in a series of challenges in the forests of Alaska. The film's cinematography showcases the beauty of the landscape, while Pitt and Uber deliver solid performances. This film is a must-watch for its visually stunning depiction of nature's power and the smallness of man.
