Or a crumpet rind, or a pinch of pie, or the grease from the tip of a soggy french fry!“ Do not follow that advice, kids, you’ll end up in jail and miss Christmas altogether. This is from… Ear we go!

What the fudge? Playtime is over for all of us as Boss Baby 2: Family Business gets a trailer
Much of parenting is simply the triumph of hope over experience, so it’s quite fitting that we now have Boss Baby 2 on the horizon.

Peter Rabbit 2: teaser trailer, and with Bea and Thomas married will there soon be a bunny in the oven?
What am I saying – who could eat a rabbit! (Though I’d love to know if after the first film, sales went stratospheric or completely collapsed. What do we Brits love more, animals or pies?) The first Peter Rabbit film was fine – I even liked James Corden as the titular bunny – though, like… Peter Rabbit 2: teaser trailer, and with Bea and Thomas married will there soon be a bunny in the oven?

The Addams Family, valued
UPDATE: my review is now live “Wednesday, don’t forget to kick your father goodnight” The first trailer for the new animated Addams Family movie has arrived and it looks fun – grimly amusing with good characterisation, if not rip-roaringly hilarious (from the 90 seconds we’ve seen so far anyway). And I did love the illustrations of… The Addams Family, valued Read More
