Entertainment options in public spaces will be considerably slimmer (or nonexistent) for the next little while, but at least it gives us all a chance to catch up at home on films and programs that we may have missed.

Running Time:

The disturbing concept of humans being hunted for sport has been used in various stories and movies over the past century.

Running Time: 103 minutes

Sequels and remakes have made up the majority of films over the past decade, with even animated studios getting on board. Thankfully, not every single project hitting cinema screens is a follow-up or reimagining. The latest from Pixar is Onward and it’s their first original work in two and a half years (Coco being the last title that wasn’t a sequel). The family flick may not be the greatest work from the studio, but it is a beautifully animated and entertaining family feature that at least attempts to provide viewers with something slightly new and different.

The story is set in a magical world whose influence on the...
