WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Katsuma, Poppet, Mr. Snoodle, and the other Moshi Monsters must stop evil Dr. Strangeglove and his incompetent Glump sidekick Fishlips from pulverising the recently discovered Great Moshling Egg…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Hey, our parents put up with the strange-as-hell animated shows when we were kids (Pokemon, Dragonball Z, remember those?); perhaps it’s time we carried the flame and let our kids – if any – enjoy their own strange-as-hell cartoons such as this new film version of Moshi Monsters, which should entertain its young fans and serve as a nice distraction for worn-out Mums and Dads.

WHEN’S IT OUT?
