Holiday Movies (2)

Several films will please both young and old. The penguins of Madagascar are back in their own film, Penguins of Madagascar.

Follow Skipper, Kowalski, Private and Rico as they chase spies as only penguins can. In Paddington, a family gives a home to a talking bear they find in Paddington Station. He is from Peru and loves all things British. The family must protect him from a museum taxidermist who wants to stuff him for display.

More laughs are promised in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. In the third film of the series, objects in the British Museum in London come to life.

A new remake of the musical film Annie is sure to delight audiences. The story takes place in modern day New York City. Annie, a young, happy foster child, played by Quvenzhane Wallis, has a hard life. Her life changes when a rich man, played by Jamie Foxx, takes her in. They end up helping each other.
