    Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) - 107 mins - PG

    Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned and it's up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the last dragon in order to finally stop the Druun for good. However, along her journey, she'll learn that it'll take more than dragon magic to save the world; it's going to take trust as well.

    Turning Red (2022) - 100 mins - PG

    Turning Red introduces Mei Lee, a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother's dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, is never far from her daughter--an unfortunate reality for the teenager. And as if changes to her interests, relationship and body weren't enough, whenever she gets too excited, she "poofs" into a giant red panda!
