The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn
Date	Location
After buying a replica model ship at a flea market, Tintin (Bell) is embroiled in a world of subterfuge. Not since Indy's third outing has Spielberg felt so fresh and unshackled; it feels like a hark back to the heyday of 1980s adventure cinema. View full details

Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest
Date	Location
Childhood buddies Azur and Asmar become rivals and enemies in a medieval Maghreb. With the action taking place in North African Islamic architecture and over-populated bazaars, the colourful palatte of the animation and 'Arabian Nights'-style storyline is a welcome throwback to the days before Pixar tore up the rulebook. A compassionate and mature film based on classic legends rather than popular culture. View full details
30 Jun 11.30am	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Fantastic Mr Fox
Date	Location
Anderson's inspired choice of stop-motion animation pays off in this beautiful and idiosyncratic adaptation of the well-loved children's tale. While kids may enjoy it, Anderson's typically arch humour is aimed more at their parents, who will also be impressed by the star-studded voice cast – Bill Murray as a badger lawyer anyone?

14 Jun 9pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

Puss in Boots
Date	Location
Puss (Banderas) and Humpty Dumpty (Galifianakis) attempt to steal magic beans from Jack and Jill, with Hayek as feline accomplice Kitty Softpaws. Given the slackening quality of the Shrek franchise, the surprise is that this imaginative romp was one of the 2011's best animated family films. View full details

An American Tail
Date	Location
In the late 19th century, the Mousekewitz family makes its way from trouble-torn Russia to a new life in America, but they find the streets of New York are not all paved with gold. A wealth of background detail displays Bluth's admirably painstaking approach to animation, but the foreground narrative, often agreeably perilous, does occasionally reek of sentimentality.

16 Jun 11.30am	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole
Date	Location
Off-kilter and inept owlimation from 300 director Snyder featuring Sturgess and Kwanten as young owlets kidnapped and pressed into service as soldiers, who attempt to seek out the mythic guardians of Ga'hoole and defeat the nefarious Metalbeak. View full details
21 Oct Sun 10.30am & 2.30pm	Mugdock Country Park, Milngavie

The Lion King
Date	Location
The first Disney animated feature to be based on an original story rather than a traditional folk or fairy tale, The Lion King retains all of the studio's markers: impeccable animation, jolly songs, colourful characters and a strong moral guideline. Solid family fare. View full details
2 Jun–3 Jun Sat & Sun 10.30am	Grosvenor Cinema, Glasgow

Date	Location
Spanish animation about a group of animals trying to escape from a ruthless millionaire's own personal ark. View full details

Mr Popper's Penguins
Date	Location
Family comedy starring Carrey as Mr Popper, a humourless businessman who inherits six penguins. The penguins turn his posh New York apartment into a winter wonderland and they change his life in ways he never imagined. This likeable adaptation of popular book was controversially filmed on a refrigerated sound stage with real Emperor Penguins. View full details
9 Jun–10 Jun Sat & Sun 11am 13 Jun (Parent & baby) 10.30am	macrobert, Stirling
7 Jul 11am	The Hippodrome, Bo'ness

The Muppets
Date	Location
When Muppet fans Gary (Segel), his girlfriend Mary (Adams) and brother Walter (a puppet) learn that oil millionaire Tex Richman (Cooper) plans to demolish the Muppet theatre, it's time to reunite the original cast. If the plot could be fresher, the well-chosen guest stars, self-referential humour and old-school bonhomie should raise a smile. View full details

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists
Date	Location
An inept pirate captain (Grant) attempts to win Pirate of the Year competition with the help of a young Charles Darwin (Tennant). Aardman's humour sometimes seems dated but Grant is pleasing, the visuals are enchanting, Staunton's Queen Victoria is a riot and there's much for the whole family to treasure. View full details

The Smurfs
Date	Location
Those blue French/Belgian woodland creatures make their first 3D trip to the big screen in this hybrid live-action and animated family comedy. When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the Smurfs out of their village, they're forced through a portal, out of their world and into ours, landing in the middle of New York's Central Park. Stuck in the Big Apple, they must find a way to get back to their village before the evil wizard finds them. View full details

1 Sep 11am	The Hippodrome, Bo'ness

We Bought a Zoo
Date	Location
The clue is in the title: recently widowed father-of-two Benjamin (Damon) quits his job and sets about saving a dilapidated zoo. The sharp humour and unique characterisation that characterised Crowe's best work seems to have been vetoed; great actors are wasted in empty roles and the result is broad, sentimental and dishearteningly average.
