Most people would prefer a summer filled with sunny days spent at the seaside or in the garden with the barbeque, but unfortunately the UK is not always blessed with infinite hours of sunshine. It is lucky then that plenty of highly anticipated films are due for release this spring and summer. We’ve looked for the best titles to give you an idea of what is in store for those rainy days[1].
For the kids: Toy Story 3
The kids of today may not have been around with the introduction of the original Toy Story, but this Disney film is now a classic. Toy Story 2 was available in 3D so a lot of kids will have seen it like that at the cinema or on DVD at home. Toy Story 3 will be out this summer; and if it is anything like the other films there will be plenty of Disney memorabilia to go along with it.
Release date: 23rd July 2010
