Fans of the first Chicken Run will remember how Ginger the plucky hen led her flock to freedom from evil Mrs Tweedy’s battery farm. Now she has found her life’s dream: a peaceful island sanctuary, far from the dangers of the finger-lickin’ human world, where she and cocky Rocky can raise their chick Molly. Back on the mainland, however, all of chicken-kind faces a new horror: a farm so deceptively alluring that bird-brained poultry flock there voluntarily – only to get the chop. When Molly falls into this bird-trap, Ginger and her team go full Mission Impossible to get her out . “Last time, we broke out of a chicken farm,” says Ginger, rallying the troops. “Well, this time, we’re breaking in!”

A SUDDEN CASE OF CHRISTMAS

Director: Peter Chelsom

Ten-year-old Claire loves her family’s annual trip from the US to Italy, where they always spend a snowy Christmas at her beloved grandfather’s hotel in the Dolomite mountains. This year, however, they go in the height of summer; her parents are splitting up and want Lawrence (played by the inimitable Danny de Vito) to explain the situation to her. Claire’s immediate response is to insist that they must have Christmas right away, with all the celebration’s trimmings, even flying in her other set of grandparents for the occasion. She is pinning her hopes on the tradition’s charms to persuade her parents to stay together – a plan that backfires when her grandparents’ marriage also starts to wobble. A charming and entertaining film for all the family to enjoy.

THE LEGEND OF THE VAGABOND QUEEN OF LAGOS

Director: James Tayler

The Agbajowo Collective bring a lively mix of legend and community struggle to a fable grounded in Nigeria’s real-life mass evictions. In 2017, the state government and corrupt police colluded to burn out and bulldoze the waterside shanty town of Otodo-Gbame, leaving thousands homeless. Those who resisted were beaten, jailed or worse. In the fictionalised version - called Agbojedo - young mother Jawu, living in the floating slums on the lagoon that gives Lagos its name, is compelled by the spirit of the great warrior king Egbaezen to stand firm against these forced evictions, unifying her poor but loyal community behind her in an epic multi-genre adventure containing a stash of extorted money and a magical African Grey parrot.
