Easter weekend is upon us which means half term is fast approaching.
Here’s a list of family-friendly films being released in cinemas in time for the Easter period that are guaranteed to take the kids’ minds off chomping through their chocolate eggs (well, for a little while anyway).
Cinderella

Frozen Fever

A seven-minute sequel to the hit Disney movie Frozen, which is being shown during screenings of Cinderella. The short film sees Elsa throwing a lavish birthday surprise for Anna that involves following a red string that’s woven around presents, leading her to a party.
