Kids Movies for 2022

With the pandemic disrupting movie releases, many planned movies for 2021 were delayed. Hopefully this year some of those films will come out along with other planned kids movies for 2022.

If you’re looking forward to a trip to the cinema next year, here’s a list of movies to make a note of for your calendar!

Sing 2

Illumination’s smash animated franchise returns with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as can-do koala Buster Moon and his all-star cast of animal performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet …in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There’s just one hitch: They first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star—played by global music icon Bono, making his animated film debut—to join them.

Voiced by stellar actors including Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly joined by Bono himself.

What begins as Buster’s dream of big-time success becomes an emotional reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken heart.

Turning Red

Mei Lee is a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between being her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence.

Sandra Oh voices Mei Lee’s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who is never far from her daughter, an unfortunate reality for the teenager.

Expected release: March 11, 2022.
