Fans just got a first look at Light of Motiram from Polaris Quest (a Tencent subsidiary), and a lot of people have noticed that the game looks suspiciously like Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn. According to Video Games Chronicle, the story of Motiram is also suspiciously like Horizon in that human civilization is dead, and robotic animals (called ‘mechanimals’) are roaming the land.

No doubt, the specifics of the story of Motiram could be different from Horizon, but so many early reactions online have already been pointing out how the game looks to have ripped off Guerilla—from the design of the mechanimals to the game’s overall visual language of hostile animals being red and the friendly ones glowing blue; even the lighting in the game is the same.

To be fair though, Motiram does have some orginal elements that weren’t present in Horizon. There’s co-op multiplayer that will be available in the game, and players also have the ability to craft shelters. The variety of weapons also makes it feel like this is not just a straight Horizon clone, but maybe a meshing of the game with Monster Hunter.

For now, fans are urging Guerilla to take legal action, but in the meantime, it looks like everyone is just waiting to see what happens.

No release date has been set for Light of Motiram.

Check out the trailer for Dexter: Original Sin:

Set in 1991 Miami, Dexter: Original Sin follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Golden Globe® winner Christian Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement’s radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.

The series has been able to gather a star-studded cast which includes the likes of Patrick Dempsey and Sarah Michelle Geller. What’s interesting is they’ve also attached the original Dexter Michael C. Hall as the narrator for the show (dubbed ‘Dexter’s Inner Voice’)

Like I said, a lot of people weren’t too pleased with how the original show ended. There was a revival back in 2021 called Dexter: New Blood, and though it was considered to be the series back in original form, the ending was considered a big fumble as well.

With fans knowing where Dexter is headed in the future, it’s going to be interesting to put together the dots as he becomes one of TV’s most beloved sociopath serial killers.

Watch out for Dexter: Original Sin when it premieres on Paramount+ on Dec. 13.

Talking to The Town podcast (via THR), Villeneuve how he fell in love with Star Wars until the third movie. He explains:

“I was the target audience. I was 10 years old. It went to my brain like a silver bullet. I became obsessed with Star Wars… I mean, The Empire Strikes Back is the movie that I anticipated the most in my life. I saw the movie a billion times onscreen. I was traumatized by The Empire Strikes Back. I adore Star Wars.”

By the time ROTJ came out though, it looked like Villeneuve had grown out of the more kid-friendly elements and thought that it was a huge downgrade on the film series. He continues:

“The problem is that it all derailed in 1983 with Return of the Jedi… It’s a long story. I was 15 years old, and my best friend and I wanted to take a cab and go to L.A. and talk to George Lucas — we were so angry! Still today, the Ewoks. It turned out to be a comedy for kids. … Star Wars became crystallized in its own mythology, very dogmatic, it seemed like a recipe, no more surprises. So I’m not dreaming to do a Star Wars because it feels like code is very codified.”

Admittedly, Star Wars being to ‘crystallized in its own mythology’ is a criticism that some have been throwing at the current state of the franchise—with Lucasfilm being afraid to try newer things with the IP and instead being too dependent on nostalgia with properties like Ahsoka.

If anything, fans are hopeful that Lucasfilm will find a balance with new creatives and nostalgia bait. We are getting that new Rey movie own the line, and Skeleton Crew and Andor Season 2 look pretty good.

It really is just a problem when social media algorithms reward influencers for being toxic, and until we can get rid of those guys, SW will always be riddled with the troublesome fandom that pretty much derailed everything since The Last Jedi.

The next Star Wars property, Skeleton Crew, comes out Dec. 2 on Disney+.

Famously, the $80 million movie flopped at the box office, and was considered a huge bomb, but Robbie (and several other fans) have expressed that they think the film will eventually get its roses somewhere in the future.

Talking to the Talking Pictures podcast (via Variety) Robbie was asked about people not liking the movie, to which she replies, “I am still saying that… I love it. I don’t get it either. I know I am biased because I am very close to the project and I obviously believe in it, but I still can’t figure out why people hated it. I wonder if in 20 years people are going to be like, ‘Wait, “Babylon” didn’t do well at the time?’ Like when you hear that ‘Shawshank Redemption’ was a failure at the time and you’re like like, ‘How is that possible?’”

With Chazelle being behind beloved films like Whiplash and La La Land, a lot of people thought that Babylon was going to be another slam dunk, but when it came out in theaters, it was mostly buried under all of this negative press.

At this point, Chazelle is considered to be in ‘director jail’ and thinks that the reaction from Babylon could lead to his next movie being delayed. Talking to the same podcast earlier this year, he says:

“Certainly, in financial terms, Babylon didn’t work at all… You try to not have that effect what you’re doing creatively, but, at some level, it can’t help but affect it. But maybe that’s OK? I have a very mixed mind about it. Who knows. Maybe I won’t be able to get this one made. I have no idea. We’ll have to wait and see.”

Admittedly, more and more people have been gushing about Babylon ever since it came out. It’s definitely a love letter to that era of filmmaking, and Robbie definitely gave the performance her all. It was certainly more taxing to her than Barbie could ever be.

Who knows, maybe in the next few years Robbie fans could be expecting more Barbylon watch parties.

In a recent interview with the LA Times, the movie’s composer Stephen Schwartz describes how he pitched a ‘hip-hop’ version of Popular to Grande, to which she eventually refused. He says, “In the spirit of being open to new things for the movie, my music team and I thought, let’s refresh the rhythm. Let’s, maybe, I don’t know, hip-hop it up a little bit… Ariana said, ‘Absolutely not, don’t do it. I want to be Glinda, not Ariana Grande playing Glinda.’”

While the movie’s star Cynthia Erivo has been making the rounds online with her odd reactions to fan edits, Grande has been getting nothing but praise, with some claiming that she definitely proves that she can also be a great actress as well as she is a great musician.

For now, Wicked is enjoying a solid opening at the box office, earning upwards of $100 million during its opening weekend. Grande and Erivo’s rendition of Defying Gravity is also enjoying the top spot on Spotify as well.

Though the movie was expected to draw in a fanbase that mostly included fans of the original Broadway musical, the film has somehow piqued the curiosity of casual audience members as well—who have all been gushing about the film online.

Wicked is now playing in theaters.

As per the official announcement, instead of coming out on December 3 like originally planned, the two-episode premiere of Skeleton Crew will now take place on Monday, December 2. Here’s the post:

Mark your calendars.

On December 2, stream the two-episode series premiere of #SkeletonCrew, only on @DisneyPlus. pic.twitter.com/XrcxhS2wfv

— Star Wars (@starwars) November 26, 2024

Despite the show premiering on a Monday, the following episodes will still be coming out on Tuesday as originally planned. It’s not clear why Disney decided to push the release date, but maybe a premiere at the start of the week could earn some great hype for the show.

Admittedly, fans have been at a low when it comes to Star Wars content, especially since The Acolyte got cancelled after just one season. We don’t know how long Lucasilm is planning to make Skeleton Crew run, but it does look like they could be setting up one complete story for the one season—just in case Disney decides to go the other way.

With a lot of fans eagerly awaiting the next season of Andor, fans are hoping that Skeleton Crew will be able to scratch that Star Wars itch that fans have been having for a while. Fingers crossed they manage to deliver this Stranger Things x Star Wars crossover.

Watch out for the premiere of Skeleton Crew on Dec. 2 only on Disney+.

Squid Game Season 2 is now ready to hit Netflix later this December, and we have a whole new trailer giving us an idea of what to expect. Watch this:

Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 gave up going to the states and comes back with a new resolution in his mind. Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won.

Compared to the first game where Gi-hun is just as clueless as the rest of the participants, it looks like he’s going to be navigating the game differently this time, actually convincing others to not play the game as it was intended.

Of course, there are some characters that look to be disruptors to Gi-hun’s plan, but you can’t expect any excitement to come from the story if everyone just plays along.

The first season of the show was such a surprise hit that even director Hwang Dong-hyuk had been vocal about not expecting the audience reaction as well. Though it’s great that Squid Game was a hit, the pressure is now on for Hwang to deliver another fantastic season of adults doing playground games to save their own lives.

Hopefully, he’ll manage to stick the landing.

Watch out for Squid Game 2 when it comes to Netflix on Dec. 26.

Watch this new featurette for The War of Rohirrim:

LOTR fans are familiar with the Rohan faction of men, who specialize in the training of horses—hence being dubbed in Middle-earth as the ‘Horse Lords’. Though Rohan makes its debut in the second movie, they remained to be one of the most important allies in the War of the Ring.

Just like Rings of Power, War of the Rohirrim is looking to fill in the gaps in Tolkien’s lore and flesh out the history of Rohan. Though there is a lot of hype surrounding Helm Hammerhand, it does look like the real lead of this story is going to be Hera, who, like Eowyn, is also going to be a Rohan shieldmaiden.

Though this does look mainly like a clash between men, I am hoping that we get the appearance of more fantastical beings like Gandalf (Saruman has already been confirmed for the film).

Set 183 years before the events chronicled in the original trilogy of films, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg— a mighty fortress that will later come to be known as Helm’s Deep.

Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.

Watch out for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim when it comes to cinemas on Dec. 13.

Multiple criticisms have been coming out online about the series being ‘rushed’ and showrunner Christian Linke just happens to disagree. Talking to Games Radar, Linke says, “When people watch season 1, there’s an aspect to the pacing… season 2 is a bit different in that regard… I respect that people express that [opinion]. You’re right – the vast majority of the audience seems to be happy. But there are people who say, ‘It’s rushed. What’s going on?'”

So far, the negative reactions to Arcane Season 2 have complained that the series may have sped through multiple story points to get to the final clash with Viktor and his cult of robots. What’s more, it seems that the series may have swept the entire class drama between the Zaunites and the rest of Piltover—which was key to the first season.

Linke continues:

“We did approach season 2 a little bit differently in how we structured the episodes because we wanted, as creatives, to take these bets [and] take these swings. It seems like for most people that works really well. There’s some people who specifically wanted to see the continuation of season one in that regard and are disappointed. I’m not happy that they feel that way, but I respect that.”

With the quality of animation for each season of the show, it probably wasn’t sustainable for the series to keep one story going over time and sustain an interested audience. For now, Studio Fortiche has closed the arcs of all the main characters, but there is a promise to spinoff to more locations in Runeterra—maybe  with some Arcane characters appearing along the way.

So far, Arcane has set a gold standard for video game adaptations, and while not many people are happy with it, there is a majority of the fanbase that is completely satisfied with how the series ended (myself included).

The complete Arcane is now streaming on Netflix.

After the smashing success of his biopic Oppenheimer, Nolan is now ready to sink his teeth into his next project, which has gathered an impressive cast including Tom Holland and Matt Damon. Now THR is reporting that the likes of Robert Pattinson and Charlize Theron are also going to be part of the cast.

No details have been revealed about the roles, but when it comes to Pattinson’s character, some are expecting it to just be a small role. After all, he’s expected to spend most of his time next year shooting the sequel to The Batman with director Matt Reeves.

It’s also worth noting that Pattinson also worked with Nolan in his last action movie Tenet, which also had several A-list actors playing bit parts.

Besides the cast members mentioned, Nolan’s next movie has also managed to include Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, and Zendaya. No details have been revealed about the movie, but there are rumors going around that it would either have something to do with a high-tech helicopter or be horror film that’s also a period piece.

Based on Nolan’s repertoire, he’s managed to tackle most genres from sci-fi, including jumping forward in time and going back. Who knows, maybe this time he’ll take a stab at buddy comedies?

Christopher Nolan’s next movie is set to release in theatres on July 17, 2026.

According to a recent earnings call (via Video Games Chronicle), CDPR CFO Piotr Nielubowicz has confirmed that there is another animated Cyberpunk project in the works with Netflix. He specifically said, “I’m also very happy to announce that we’re working on another animation project set in the Cyberpunk universe, which will be released on Netflix.”

No further details have been listed about the project, and it hasn’t been confirmed if this new story is going to be animated by Studio Trigger again. The only thing that fans can be sure of for now is that the project is set to release on Netflix.

Admittedly, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners really caught everyone off guard. Though the world of Night City is interesting enough, Edgerunners managed to draw an audience in with some great characters and a solid story that fully embraces the anti-establishment themes of the original game.

Though some fans may have been clamoring for a second season, some argue that the first season is already pretty well-contained as a story, and should a sequel be made, it should be focused on a different group of punks that walk around Night City.

Until CDPR and Netflix reveal more, all we can really do is guess, chooms.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is now available to stream on Netflix.

Check this out (and remember I told you it possibly spoils the movie):

As per the latest trailer, it does look like the Robotniks are going to team-up and betray Sonic in the movie. Though it can be expected for a character like Robotnik, you would think that him teaming up with Sonic was pushing the point of how dangerous Shadow is going to be.

Admittedly, Shadow is considered more of an antihero, so maybe the movie is just confirming to the fans that he won’t be the ultimate villain in the film; but then again that kind of spoils his arc in Sonic 3. By the looks of it, it’s just going to be another Knuckles story where Sonic and Shadow fight, realize they’re not so different, and team-up to fight Robotnik.

Then again, this is just a kids’ franchise, so we shouldn’t expect anything like Lord of the Rings when it comes to plot. Either way, a lot of fans are happy to see Shadow finally make it to the big screen, and the movie promises to deliver everything that made the character popular—like shadow using a motorcycle and guns.

Catch Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in theatres on Dec. 20.

Check this out:

The scene is a parody of an original moment from the animated movie where Stitch rebuilds a miniature San Franciso in Lilo’s room and slowly destroys it like a miniature kaiju. This scene in particular:

We don’t know if Stitch is going to be doing the same thing in the live-action version, but it does look like they’re going to be changing it so that he’s destroying a bunch of sandcastles instead of a makeshift diorama in Lilo’s room.

I’ll admit, it’s a fun homage, but it still doesn’t hold a candle to Disney’s original campaign for the animate movie where they literally insert Stitch into classic scenes from the Disney renaissance period. Check these out:

Now that’s movie marketing.

Originally Lilo & Stitch was marketed as a straight-to-streaming movie, but ever since the Bob Iger re-takeover, it looks like the movie is going to have a theatrical release. Though the film didn’t get the same status as Disney renaissance classics, I’m sure there’s a bunch of millenials out there who would love to go back on a Hawaiian roller coster ride next year.

Lilo & Stitch live-action is set to come out in theatres on May 23, 2025.

As some fans have spotted online, a split-second before the explosion that kills Warwick, fans can see a flash of pink, which is the same power signature that Jinx has whenever she moves fast. Check this out:

i want to believe in the theory that JINX IS STILL ALIVE and she escaped, you can see a trail of shimmer escaping on the video as when she moves. #jinx #arcane #arcanes2spoilers pic.twitter.com/YuRrZW3M8m

— Vi. | I SAW BILLIE & FINNEAS x2. (@K_taebts) November 23, 2024

What’s more, the final moments of the finale drop a lot of hints at where Jinx could be. Besides Caitlyn finding out that there was a network of tunnels that Jinx could have escaped to, the final seconds of the show reveal ‘THE END’ written in the same crude writing that’s usually associated with Jinx.

caitlyn smiling at the hexgate design since jinx detonated below the funnel? the shimmer line leaving before the explosion? the ship powder wanted the ride in s1 ep1 leaving at the end? “the end” written in her writing?

jinx is alive, she broke the cycle #Arcane #ArcaneSpoilers pic.twitter.com/WSzfNX9Avj

— mils ✩˚.⋆ (@thelorebitch) November 23, 2024

Probably the biggest visual hint is that in the very first season, fans also see the same shot of the flying ship, and Powder specifically tells the gang, “One day, I’m gona ride in one of those things,” which should be hint enough that Jinx is on that ship and flying away from Piltover.

Besides all the more obvious hints in the finale, fans have also pointed out that Jinx’s talk with imaginary Silco in the jail cell before she’s freed has Silco telling her to ‘walk away’ and not just repeat the cycle of violence. So if we were to take that as a hint, Jinx just leaving would have been set-up at that point.

With the next League spinoff said to be taking place in Dematica, some are convinced that Jinx is going to find a new partner in Lux who appears with her in the cinematic You Really Got Me promo for Wild Rift.

Of course, a lot of this is just speculation, but there really is enough evidence to suggest that Jinx is alive, and maybe she’s popular enough to be the mascot for the next spinoff as well.

Catch the complete Arcane now streaming on Netflix.

One character that’s being hyped up for the film is the Devourer of Worlds Galactus, and while we don’t have a first look at him yet, some fans think that this merch shared by actor Ralph Ineson could be a hint. Check this out:

More cool wrap stuff from Marvel #FantasticFourFirstSteps #Galactus pic.twitter.com/BaurlAYJoG

— Ralph Ineson (@ralphineson) November 25, 2024

While some people think this could be the first look at Galactus from the film, Ineson has confirmed that it’s just old Marvel merch depicting the classic Galactus from the comics. He follows up the post:

For those of you who think that was a first look at Galactus from the new movie, sorry to disappoint, this is from 2013. And for those that like it, I’m sure it’s available to buy pic.twitter.com/oQllrXZfUv

— Ralph Ineson (@ralphineson) November 25, 2024

Even though it’s not official merch, a lot of fans are convinced that First Steps is going to be delivering a comic-accurate version of Galactus—complete with giant helmet. After all, Celestials have already been introduced in the universe since the first Guardians of the Galaxy, and a character like Galactus won’t be so hard to introduce this time around.

The last big screen interpretation of Galactus was not one that was beloved by fans. Back when Fox was still running the franchise, Galactus had appeared as the main antagonist of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. While the Surfer did look comic-accurate, Galactus was redesigned to just be a giant alien cloud.

With comic-accuracy becoming the norm these days with the MCU, fans are hoping that Ineson’s Galactus will be the giant figure that’s tormented the Marvel Universe for decades. Fingers crossed we get an official first look soon.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is now set to release in theatres on July 25, 2025.

Here’s the short:

On the 30th anniversary of “Star Trek: Generations”, The Archive and William Shatner revisit Captain Kirk’s final appearance on screen in a new 8-minute video produced for The Archive app on Apple Vision Pro: “765874: Unification”, launched in tandem with new interactive sets and documentary interviews and behind the scenes content celebrating the legacy of the 1994 film.

Witwer is at the very center of the short as the stand-in for William Shatner’s young Kirk. His look was said to have been completed with physical and digital prosthetics. Here’s Witwer sharing his costume behind-the-scenes:

Again. My thanks to @WilliamShatner for his generosity and trust.#LLAP pic.twitter.com/LN9nQr4VdF

— Sam Witwer (@SamWitwer) November 20, 2024

We don’t know exactly how much of the look was make-up, but there seems to be a lot of AI-deepfake technology used—not unlike how they brought young Mark Hamill back for The Mandalorian. Probably the biggest giveaway is that Kirk barely talks in the short—and that’s essentially because the deepfakes usually have a problem replicating actual moving mouths.

Either way, it’s a stellar achievement, and a lot of fans were pretty amazed with the final product. Maybe there’s room down the line for Witwer in Trek; because I honestly can’t stand some of his Star Wars takes.

Now they’re set to release The Bad Guys 2 next year, and we have the first trailer for the movie featuring a new animal group of femme fatales. Check this out:

Here’s the synopsis for the sequel:

In the new action-packed chapter from DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed comedy smash about a crackerjack crew of animal outlaws, our now-reformed Bad Guys are trying (very, very hard) to be good, but instead find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes, globe-trotting heist, masterminded by a new team of criminals they never saw coming: The Bad Girls.

Original cast members from the first movie Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Awkwafina, and Anthony Ramos are set to reprise their roles as the Bad Guys; and the crew of Bad Girls is voiced by Danielle Brooks Maria Bakalova, and Natasha Lyonne.

The movie is even bringing back Zazie Beetz for Governor Foxington and Alex Borstein for Misty Luggins.

Besides Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon, DreamWorks has been working hard to find a new IP that can manage to stick, and The Bad Guys somehow worked pretty great. The animation is solid, and the movie had a lot of heart. Let’s just hope the sequel manages to deliver as well.

Catch The Bad Guys 2 when it comes to cinemas on Aug. 1, 2025.

The first episode had given a tease of the war against the machines a.k.a. the Butlerian Jihad, and a new featurette goes into an in-depth look at the war and the several houses that formed after machines were banned. Check this out:

By the time of Prophecy, it would have been 100 years since the Butlerian Jihad. While there are some that are strict when it comes to the existence of ‘thinking machines’, it would be understandable that a child wouldn’t be so afraid of robots as the adults are.

As for the several families, they each have their own planet to be focused on including Salusa Secundus, the home of the Imperium; Caladan, the home of the Atreides; Wallach IX, the homeworld of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood; and Lankiveill, the Harkonnen home planet.

Like Star Wars, each planet has its own kind of climate which seems to distinguish the kind of people that live there. Interesting that the Harkonnens would be on an ice planet like Lankiveil, as the Dune movies put their homeworld in Giedi Prime.

Dune: Prophecy may not be as scandalous as Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, but the lore is definitely there to match A Song of Ice and Fire. We don’t know for how long they plan to run the series, but so far the production quality has managed to keep up with the Dune movies.

Let’s hope it doesn’t get cancelled too soon.

Here’s the first trailer for Dream Productions starring Paula Pell (Girls5eva) and Richard Ayoade (The Mandalorian):

Here’s the official description:

Taking place in between the events of “Inside Out” and “Inside Out 2” is Pixar Animation Studios’ “Dream Productions,” an all-new series about the studio inside Riley’s mind where dreams really do come true—every night, on time and on budget. Riley is growing up and when her memories need some extra processing, Joy and the rest of the Core Emotions send them to Dream Productions. Acclaimed director Paula Persimmon (voice of Paula Pell) faces a nightmare of her own: Trying to create the next hit dream after being paired up with Xeni (voice of Richard Ayoade), a smug daydream director looking to step up into the big leagues of night dreams.

The series takes place before the events of Inside Out 2, and the cast of the movie is also set to reprise their roles as the core emotions of Riley in this show.

I have to say with shows like The Franchise and The Studio, this is the third movie to be a meta-series about filmmaking, complete with the clashing creatives and a writer’s room for dreams. It feels like they have a chance to flesh out more of Riley’s mind, but the film lover in me is just excited to see Pixar tackle a story about ‘filmmaking’ because it’s an art form about ‘making dreams come true’.

Dream Productions will only be a 4-episode limited series, and it comes to Disney+ on Dec. 11.

Check this out:

Besides Hiccup (Mason Thames), the group includes Astrid (Nico Parker), Snotlout (Gabriel Howell), Fishlegs (Julian Dennison), Ruffnut (Bronwyn Hames), and Tuffnut (Harry Trevaldwyn). If you look closely, you’ll also see Nick Frost dressed as Hiccup’s mentor Gobber.

Admittedly, the movie is trying its best to look just like the original animated film—which was a visual spectacle all on its own. But based on what we saw in the featurette, there are already some changes in store. For one, the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut don’t look alike at all in the movie—with the two having a ‘C-3PO/R2-D2’ visual dynamic.

With original movie director Dean DeBlois at the helm, there’s no doubt that the live-action HTTYD will stay true to the spirit of the original movie. I just hope that there’s enough difference in this film to justify a live-action remake; because every animation fan just can’t seem to fathom why they would decide to remake a beloved film into live-action in the first place.

I mean, that’s something out of Disney’s wheelhouse.

Hopefully DeBlois can pull this off in live-action; and hopefully have some different surprises in store.

Catch How to Train Your Dragon when it comes to cinemas on June 13.
