2D Animation Workshop
In this workshop, children learn how to make a full 2D animated film, using iPads with digital styluses. The workshop also comprises advice on how to draw better, more defined characters, and how to achieve convincing movements - all taught by a professional animator. An ideal session for those who want to experience the wonderful and rewarding world of cartoon animation for the very first time. Booking essential.

Wolfwalkers - Sói Lang Thang
Oscar nominated back in 2021, the dazzling & beguiling Wolfwalkers is an animated film from the embarrassingly talented Kilkenny-based Cartoon Saloon that also gave us The Secret Of Kells and Song Of The Sea. The third in their “Irish Folklore Trilogy,” this richly textured and beautifully drawn, at times Ghibli-inspired animation is hauntingly good.

This screening is in English

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Mutant Mayhem
Cowabunga, dudes! Yes - the Ninja Turtles are back!! And frankly, it’s like they never left us. In the last decade, the pizza-loving heroes-in-half-shells have enjoyed two live-action films, two animated series, tons of toy lines, comic books, theme-park rides, even a straight-to-DVD movie in which the turtles team up with Batman for some reason. Do we really need more? It’s a testament to Mutant Mayhem that the seventh feature-length turtle outing feels as fresh as ever.

Puffin Rock and the New Friends - In Irish
From the famous TV series, we follow young puffin Oona, baby brother Baba, and their animal pals, as they explore and learn more about their wild Irish island home.
This screening is in Irish with English Subtitles

Frankenweenie: Fancy Dress & Disco
A perpetual favourite here - Tim Burton’s resurrected canine caper is just a Hallow-winner (wiener?) every time.
Plus Halloween Fancy Dress & terrible tunes afterwards!!

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
At last, a pre-teen movie worth its salt. Based on Judy Blume’s 1970s novel, this comedy beautifully evokes that washing-machine churn of fear and yearning that comes between childhood and adulthood. 11-year old Margaret (Abby Ryder Fortson) moves from NYC to the ‘burbs with her family to make new friends while making sense of her new feelings and bodily changes. Plenty of laughs in this sweet coming of age comedy.

The Super Mario Bros Movie
Nintendo’s lovable high-voiced moustachioed Italian plumber is back in this laser-sharp, hi-def nostalgic nod to the video-game classic. Hold on to your dungarees as Mario hurtles around this feast full of easter eggs for the gamers.

Polar Express
