Disney’s Christmas classic
London, at the end of the 19th century: old Ebenezer Scrooge is an incorrigible miser. Even Christmas is nothing but an annoyance to him. Then, on Christmas Eve, his deceased partner Marley appears to him; Marley was once an ice-cold businessman himself and now bitterly regrets it. He predicts a grim end for Scrooge if he does not fundamentally change his way of life. That night, Scrooge is haunted by the spirits of Christmas, who confront him with his own heartlessness and call on him to turn back before it is too late.
With DISNEY’S A CHRISTMAS CAROL, successful director Robert Zemeckis once again demonstrates his penchant for the extraordinary – also in technological terms. Produced with impressive motion-capture technology, comedy star Jim Carrey himself plays seven leading roles in the spectacular new film version of the Charles Dickens classic, supported by character actors including Colin Firth, Robin Wright Penn and Gary Oldman.
“Toy Story 3”
The eleventh animated film from the successful Disney • Pixar factory (FINDING NEMO, RATATOUILLE, WALL-E, UP) provides perfect entertainment with outstanding animation, plenty of action and a steady stream of gags. TOY STORY 3 is a funny, turbulent adventure that delights with familiar and many new characters, fantastic bonus material and irresistibly funny dubbing voices. MICHAEL BULLY HERBIG voices Sheriff Woody, RICK KAVANIAN is the voice of Dino Rex and CHRISTIAN TRAMITZ delights as the brand-new character Ken!
Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the other toys have always feared this day: their owner Andy is packing his things for college, and there is no longer any room for his toys. Disappointed, the friends smuggle themselves into a box of donations for Sunnyside Daycare. There, they face a wildly mixed toy troupe led by Lotso, a teddy bear who smells of strawberries. Are all these toys really as warm and nice as they appear at first glance?
