Family favourites and animated adventures are heading to the big screen this summer holiday at Vue in Croydon, offering families plenty of opportunities to spend quality time together now that the school year has ended.
For the summer break, Vue cinemas has introduced discounted kids’ tickets in partnership with the Great British Summer Savings scheme, meaning children aged 14 and under can enjoy big-screen escapes for less, providing a fantastic way to keep the family entertained over the holidays.
For the opportunity to catch recent family favourites on the big screen for a very small price, Vue’s Mighty Mornings screenings will take place every day across the break. Ideal for children aged between four and 11, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, The Magic Faraway Tree and The Sheep Detectives will be showing among other titles, with prices from just £2.49 a ticket when booked online.
Vue has also launched its new Summer Family Passport Book, designed to encourage young film fans to enjoy more big-screen moments throughout the season. Kids can collect stamps in their Summer Family Passport Book when visiting Vue for the latest family releases. They are encouraged to share photos of their passport books and adventures on a dedicated Vue Facebook post for the chance to win a £25 Vue gift card.
All the biggest family titles of the summer holidays will come with a stamp for the Summer Family Passport, including the latest blockbusters, returning favourites and special screenings tailor-made for younger viewers as part of Vue’s Mighty Mornings and Big Shorts screenings.
Kicking off the summer with some playtime is Toy Story 5, the latest adventure for Woody and the gang, still showing on the big screen. This time, its toy meets tech as Bonnie receives a new tablet to play with, making life for Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the other toys exponentially harder. There are plenty of heartfelt moments and joyful laughs as they go head-to-head with an all-new threat to playtime itself.
There’s even more animated fun this summer with Minions & Monsters, bringing plenty of mischief to the big screen at Vue. Set in the wonderful world of Despicable Me, Minions & Monsters sees everyone’s favourite henchmen conquer Hollywood, become movie stars and accidentally unleash monsters upon the world. Will they save the planet from their own monstrous mistakes?
Families can enjoy other fantastic hits such as Disney’s live-action Moana, out now, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, launching 29 July, and PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, launching 7 August.
For younger audiences, Vue will also be bringing some of the most popular children’s characters back as part of its Big Shorts series. Aimed at younger children aged between one and four, the screenings are hosted in a relaxed environment with dimmed lighting. Younger viewers can look forward to a special screening of Talking Tom Superheroes: Suddenly Super.
Robert Lea, Head of Screen Content at Vue UK & Ireland, said: “As we head into the school holidays, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Vue. From live-action reimaginings to animated adventures, it’s the perfect destination for families to escape, unwind and get lost in great stories on the big screen.”
