Lightyear (in theaters now) T-Minus 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…Disney and Pixar are at it again! This time, they tell the story of the real Buzz Lightyear’s adventures to infinity and beyond. The film follows the adventures of the popular Space Ranger from his early days as an astronaut in training to becoming an intergalactic hero. It’s a trip around the galaxy that might have kids begging for their very own Buzz Lightyear action figure. (rated PG)
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (in theaters now) We first met Marcel the Shell back in 2010, through a stop-motion animated short film. Marcel is a loveable little one-inch-tall shell who lives with his grandmother Connie and their pet lint, Alan. This time, he’s back in a full-length movie about his search to find a community of shells after his family was separated in an unfortunate event. Marcel embarks on this journey after a documentary filmmaker finds Marcel and begins to post his story online, gaining national attention and renewing Marcel’s hope of finding new friends and his long-lost family.

Minions: The Rise of Gru (in theaters now) Minions fans, your wait is over! Illumination films is taking you back to where it all began in the 1970s. Gru is growing up in the suburbs when he discovers the Vicious 6, a popular supervillain group looking for the next big villain. Gru is intrigued, and devises a plan to become evil enough to join them. He succeeds in proving his evilness by stealing a Vicious 6 prized possession. Together with his friends the Minions, Gru gets some backup as the Vicious 6 attempt to take back what belongs to them and teach Gru a lesson. (rated PG)
Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank (in theaters July 15) This animated adventure tells the story of Hank, a hard-on-his-luck hound who finds himself in a town full of cats in need of help. They need a hero because there’s a ruthless, evil group of feline villains plotting to destroy their town. With help from a reluctant former samurai teacher (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) to train him, Hank the underdog must become the town’s new samurai and team up with the village of felines to save the day. (rated PG)
DC League of Super-Pets (in theaters July 29) The Justice League of Superheroes is back, but this time, they’re in trouble! Superman and the rest of the Justice League have been kidnapped and it’s up to Superman’s dog, Krypto, to save them. The problem is that Krypto’s own superpowers alone can’t get the job done. He needs to enlist the help of an unusual lineup of animal friends – Ace the hound, PB the potbellied pig, Merton the turtle and Chip the squirrel – to grant them their own superpowers and teach them how to use them to set the Justice League free.
