2. Ralph Breaks the Internet

Release date: 30 November 2018

If you haven't already seen Wreck-It Ralph, then do so soon! It's one of the cutest movies to ever be created.

A funny, witty and colourful movie that will put anyone in a cheerful mood. Not to mention the hilarious Disney Princesses scene... peep the trailer to see why this is definitely worth a watch. 

3. Mary Poppins Returns

Release date: 28 December 2018

In Disney’s all-new musical and sequel “Mary Poppins Returns”, the no-nonsense nanny is back to help the next generation of the Banks family find the joy and magic missing in their lives after they experience the loss of their mother.

"The magic always returns."

4. Captain Marvel

Release date: 8 March 2019 

If your child is a fan of any of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, they're anticipating this movie as much as the rest of us fans.

With the huge success of Black Panther and The Avengers: Infinity War earlier this year, the introduction of Captain Marvel is going to be a game-changer.

Set in the 1990s, this story follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.   

Spoiler alert: Avengers Infinity War ends off on a big cliff hanger where Captain Marvel is paged to help save the day, so you can imagine how big of a deal this movie is in carrying the story out (and seeing what a bad ass of a character Captain Marvel is).

5. Dumbo

Release date: 29 March 2019

Another ode to a great classic, everyone's favourite adorable enormous-eared elephant friend is here to steal our hearts all over again.

From visionary director Tim Burton, this grand live-action adventure “Dumbo” is a touching tale in which differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams can come true. 

6. Aladdin

Release date: 24 May 2019 

The live-action remake of this Disney animated classic is sure to be a winner.

And with Will Smith cast as the genie, you're definitely not going to want to miss out on this one.

What would you wish for?

7. The Lion King

Release date: 19 July 2019

BAAAAHSOWHENYAMAMABEATSIBAHBAAAAH (if you read it in the tune, you're a real one).

The first Lion King released in 1994 and has been wildly popular ever since. It's no surprise that this too shall be receiving a live-action remake. 

With an absolutely all-star cast, this movie is definitely highly anticipated. I mean come on, look at these actors.
