MAYA THE BEE: THE GOLDEN ORB is the third theatrical feature in the successful Maya the Bee franchise; an iconic animated series that has been entertaining young children for more than 100 years. When a bored Maya and Willi bust out of winter lockdown early, they are catapulted headfirst into a top secret mission! Entrusted with the care of a sacred seed, Maya and Willi team up with their old pal's Arnie and Barnie to deliver the seed to its new home atop the mysterious Bonsai Mountain. When their "seed" hatches, Maya and Willi come face to face with their biggest responsibility yet - a smooshy, squishy little princess! This adventure is a LOT more than they bargained for as they take on bounty hunters, thugs and ruthless enemies, to return the lost princess to her mountain colony, only to find it hanging in the balance of a turf war and remorseless predators. Willi discovers a side of himself that he never expected as he becomes protective of the tiny princess, but to save the her, and her colony, Maya must learn that trust is not just a word, it has to be earned! Ideal for fans of family adventures 'Antz', 'A Bug's Life' and 'Bee Movie', MAYA THE BEE: THE GOLDEN ORB is an epic bug battle that will transport you to exciting new worlds!

On this edition our young reviewers preview the digital release of new comedy drama APPLES (Cert: 12). *Caution* This video continues moderate content (section: film trailer) that may be unsuitable for younger viewers. APPLES - Cate Blanchett executive produces this timely, drily witty and ultimately moving portrait of a world that has succumb to a strange, all-pervasive virus. A strain of amnesia is holding the world in its grip. Those who succumb to it permanently lose their memory. For those carrying identification and with loved ones, there is hope. But those who cannot be identified and who have no one to ‘claim’ them are given a new identity, home and itinerary through which they can record memories for a new life. Aris is one such person. Christos Nikou’s wonderful feature debut, written and directed before the COVID-19 pandemic began is a soulful rumination on who we are and what defines us. At its centre is a compelling performance by Aris Serveyalis, best known in the UK for his role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Alps. A remarkably assured debut by Nikou, APPLES is the perfect film for the times we live in. APPLES IS AVAILABLE ON CURZON HOME CINEMA FROM FRIDAY 7 MAY. https://homecinema.curzon.com/film/apples/ #Film #FilmReview #Apples CINEMAGIC ON SOCIAL Follow - https://www.facebook.com/CinemagicFestival Follow - http://www.Twitter.com/Cinemagic Follow - https://www.instagram.com/cinemagic_filmfestival/ https://www.cinemagic.org.uk​ (website) https://filmfestival.cinemagic.org.uk/​ (festival player) SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER - https://cinemagic.org.uk/newsletter

Grace and Goliath will scoop you up in its mighty arms and carry you on an emotional but hugely enjoyable roller coaster! A Hollywood big shot, (and he knows it!) Josh Jenkins sweeps into Belfast to make a movie, but before long his world crashes and he loses everything. Lily (a hotel cleaner) invites him to stay with her family and gradually the people of this ‘strange’ city touch his heart, forever. A powerful story of how one man’s GOLIATH ego is brought down by one single blow...of GRACE!
