Everyone’s favourite animals, monsters, fairytales and mine crafts are making their way onto the big screen as the youngsters take a break from the school routine and come out to play! Full-blown fun and entertainment take centre stage at Ster-Kinekor cinemas to keep the holiday boredom at bay.

With films showing in Ster-Kinekor’s immersive IMAX cinemas, the fun and colourful Kids’ Cinemas, the luxurious Cine Prestige and in select D-Box seats that give you all the moves, which movie to watch and in which cinema are the only choices you need to make for your best holiday movie-viewing experience.

Currently on circuit is the live action version of the timeless fairytale, Snow White. A beautiful girl, Snow White, takes refuge in the forest in the house of seven dwarfs to hide from her stepmother, the wicked Queen. The Queen is jealous because she wants to be known as ‘the fairest in the land,’ and Snow White’s beauty surpasses her own.

Night of the Zoopocalypse, a new animated horror-comedy that puts a wild twist on the zombie genre, is another great holiday movie title. A wolf and mountain lion team up when a meteor unleashes a virus that turns zoo animals into zombies. They join forces with other survivors to rescue the zoo and stop the deranged mutant leader from spreading the virus.

If however, farm animals such as pigs and dogs and sheep are more to your liking, Babe is the movie for you – and as its part of Throwback Cinema, a ticket will only cost you R50! Gentle farmer Arthur Hoggett wins a piglet Babe at a county fair. Narrowly escaping his fate as Christmas dinner, Babe bonds with motherly border collie Fly and discovers that he too can herd sheep. But will the other animals accept him?

First released in 2009, Minecraft is one of the most popular video games of all time. This week, the live-action A Minecraft Movie releases at select Ster-Kinekor cinemas, including in IMAX, Cine Prestige, D-Box and Kids’ Cinemas, from 04 April. Four misfits find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected expert crafter, Steve.

Also releasing on Friday 04 April is the Throwback Cinema animation film, Shrek, which first released in 2001. A mean lord exiles fairytale creatures to the swamp of a grumpy ogre, who must go on a quest and rescue a princess for the lord in order to get his land back. The film is voiced by big Hollywood stars including Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and John Lithgow. The original Shrek movie is a definite must-see and, with tickets at only R50, the film is releasing just in time for a new audience of youngsters to enjoy the wild capers of Shrek, Fiona and the gang!

There are plenty of other wonderful kids’ titles currently showing at select Ster-Kinekor cinemas around the country. If you haven’t had a chance to see them yet, the school holidays are the perfect time to watch them, including: Mufasa, Moana 2, Buffalo Kids, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Paddington in Peru and the superhero, Captain America: Brave New World.

Catch all your favourite movies at Ster-Kinekor cinemas these holidays. And, for the younger kids, the fun and colourful Kids’ Cinemas with their special seats, slides and ball pits, at Sandton, Fourways, and Carnival City in Gauteng, and at Capegate and V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, will keep them entertained both on and off the big screen!

    Reforming the Rockefellers: Speaking of Ivy Lee, in 1914 he achieved another PR milestone when the wealthy Rockefeller family hired him to reform their image. A deadly coal strike had put the family under intense public scrutiny, and Lee organized an in-depth campaign to secure positive goodwill. His tactics include government relations, media relations and even public appearances that sent John D. Rockefeller to meet with the miners personally. The campaign pushed PR onto a much larger platform than ever before and helped define the industry’s relationship with corporations. (Source: Journal of Public Relations Research)
