WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Nick Daley (Bassett) follows in the footsteps of his father Larry (Levi) to become the night watchman at the American Museum of Natural History, where all the exhibits come to life after sundown. However, when the maniacal Egyptian ruler Kahmunrah (Kamal) manages to escape, Nick must team with the other exhibits to defeat him once and for all…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The popular Night at the Museum franchise is given a fully animated spin and a brand-new voice cast, but none of the outrageous fun from the previous movies appears to have been sacrificed either.

WHEN’S IT OUT?

FRIDAY 9TH DECEMBER 2022
