Enjoy magical moments – old and new - with a winter break at Vue Leamington Spa

Iconic characters and magical moments are heading to Vue in Leamington Spa this Christmas break - offering ample opportunity to spend quality time with the family before the year draws to an end.

Returning to the Pridelands this December, Mufasa: The Lion King comes roaring onto the big screen (20 December) just in time for the holidays. This live action Disney prequel welcomes back Simba and the gang, who are learning the untold tale of how Mufasa became the beloved ruler of the animal kingdom. With songs by musical maestro Lin Manuel Miranda, expect a delightful and gripping story full of animal antics and family fun. Also spin-dashing back onto the big screen this winter is Sonic the Hedgehog, who is back for his fastest and most daring adventure yet. Teaming up with his pals Tails and Knuckles, as well as human bestie Tom, Sonic must face a new threat: Shadow – a hedgehog who threatens the world with his mysterious powers.

With a roster of returning names, including Jim Carrey as Dr Eggman, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is bound to take the iconic video game hero to new heights when it speeds onto screens from 21 December.

As well as Mufasa and Sonic, film fans of all ages will be spoilt for choice this Christmas at Vue, with recent family hits Wicked, Moana 2 and Paddington in Peru all screening over the festive season.
