A warrior’s tail – kids film

We recently watched a family film with the boys – the tale (or should I say ‘tail’) of  young boy’s heart-warming bravery and imagination in the animated adventure A WARRIOR’S TAIL, (in cinemas from April 1st 2016 and out on DVD April 11th 2016, courtesy of Signature Entertainment)

A warriors tail

Milla Jovovich (the Resident Evil series, The Fifth Element) leads an all-star cast of voice talent that also features the legendary Joe Pesci (Home Alone, The Good Shepherd) and Sharon Stone (Alpha Dog, Casino) in a truly epic adventure guaranteed to pique the interest of families everywhere this Spring. The fabulous Whoopi Goldberg (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Toy Story 3) also stars – as seen in this clip…

Nine-year old Savva (Jovovich) lives with his mother in a small village in a forest once protected by a pack of white wolves. When the wolves leave under mysterious circumstances the village is left at constant risk of attack from ruthless curiously colourful hyenas and only a powerful magician can help. Escaping the hyenas in search of the magician, Savva finds himself in a magical world he had only heard stories of, meeting a host of new friends who are also seeking the magician, including the white wolf Angee, the curious pink monkey character Puffy (Stone) and a very odd mosquito (Pesci); all of whom must evade a treacherous simian army led by the evil three headed monkey mama JoZee (Goldberg) on their path overcoming the forces of evil (the favourite characters for our two were the rather menacing baddies – the Rikis…) and reclaiming Savva’s village.

From Gregory Poirier, the writer of The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride and National Treasure: Book of Secrets, A Warrior’s Tail is as heart-warming, thrilling and imaginative as they come and is a family adventure for all ages.

IN CINEMAS FROM APRIL 1st 2016
