Family Picks

The pups land on a dinosaur island and race to pull off their biggest rescue yet in this cheerful, fast-moving animated adventure. At PG and a breezy 88 minutes, it's especially good for younger children, with a simple, upbeat story that never gets scary or heavy. A great choice if you've got little ones who love dinosaurs and rescues.

This live-action family mystery follows a flock of sheep who turn crime-solvers after trouble hits the farm, with a starry cast including Hugh Jackman and Emma Thompson. It's PG, warm and funny rather than dark, and best for slightly older kids (roughly 7+) who'll enjoy following the clues, plus it earned a superb 95% from critics. Screenings are very limited this week, likely just a single showing, so catch it while you can.
