KIU, Main Campus – This weekend, let's enter the world of animations with this beautiful selection!
1. DC League of Super-Pets
Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime side by side in Metropolis. However, when Superman is kidnapped, Krypto must master his powers for rescue missions.
2. Minions: The Rise of Gru
Weare taken back in time to the 1970s, where young Gru tries to join a group of supervillains called the Vicious 6 after they oust their leader, the legendary fighter Wild Knuckles. When the interview turns disastrous, Gru and his Minions go on the run with the Vicious 6 hot on their tails. Luckily, he finds an unlikely source for guidance - Wild Knuckles himself -- and soon discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends.
3. Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank
What if your hero is someone you hate? A down-on-his-luck hound finds himself in a town full of cats who need a hero to defend them from a ruthless villain's evil plot to wipe their village off the map. With help from a reluctant trainer, the underdog must assume the role of fearsome samurai and team up with the felines to save the day. The only problem is -- they all hate dogs.
4. Raya and the Last Dragon
Follow Raya, a warrior, as she sets out to track down Sisu, a dragon, who transferred all her powers into a magical gem now scattered all over the kingdom of Kumandra, dividing its people. We love that Awkwafina feature in this one.
