Synopsis
Matilda is the story of an extraordinary little girl with extraordinary powers. The daughter of abusive parents, Matilda finds refuge in library books, which she reads quickly and in creating her own stories. Things are no better at school, where Matilda also must face a tyrannical and cruel headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who believes in Crunchem Hall’s motto: “Bambinatum est Magitum,” or “Children are Maggots.” She finds companionship in her teacher, Miss Honey, though well-intentioned, is shy and fragile. Brave little Matilda knows she has to stand up against the adults in her world, and in doing so, discovers her own remarkable powers. Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson — that even though life can be hard, “nobody but me is gonna change my story” so “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.”

Synopsis
Join everyone’s favorite zoo crew on a comedy packed journey around the world. After Marty the Zebra decides to chase his dream to see life outside of the zoo, we follow Marty and his crew of unlikely friends Alex the Lion, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe on a wild and wacky adventure from New York’s Central Park Zoo to the island of Madagascar. Will life outside of the cage be all they had hoped, or will they miss the life of luxury they have taken for granted? Either way, it is sure to be one “crack-a-lackin’” journey that will make the old and young want to “move it, move it!”
