The movies Sing, Moana and Red Dog – True Blue will be released on December 26.
For the new year, Ballerina, Monster Trucks and Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life, all screening from January 12.
Illumination presents Sing, starring Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton and Tori Kelly.
Sing is a musical comedy about finding the shining star that lives inside all of us.
It stars Buster Moon (Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey), a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times.
Buster is an eternal optimist – okay, maybe a bit of a scoundrel – who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.
Five lead contestants emerge: A mouse (MacFarlane), a timid teenage elephant (Kelly), an overtaxed mother (Witherspoon), a young gangster gorilla (Egerton) and a punk-rock porcupine (Johansson).
Featuring more than 85 hit songs, Sing is written and directed by Garth Jennings (Son of Rambow, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy.
Moana is a sweeping, CG-animated adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest.
During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli’i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage.
Red Dog: True Blue is a prequel to the 2011 classic Red Dog and the new film reunites director Kriv Stenders, producer Nelson Woss and writer Daniel Taplitz in the remote setting of the original – the Pilbara region of Western Australian.
Based on the 2002 short novel by Louis de Bernieres, Red Dog became one of the highest-grossing Australian films of all time.
