Thursday 3 Oct, 11am | The Nightmare Before Christmas

Living up to its title, this Pixar animated film follows the life of a family of superheroes headed by Mr. Incredible, a 'retired' crime-fighter who has a hard time adapting to normal life and middle-age responsibility. It's not long before he's involved in a precarious mission that must call upon the super-powers of his wife Elasta-Girl, daughter Violet, son Dash, and a little infant too.
