IN CINEMAS AUGUST 8

SYNOPSIS:

A follow up to the Australian animated feature film, 100% Wolf, in which our hero, Freddy Lupin, had to grapple with the shock revelation that he is destined to be not a mighty werewolf like all of his family, but a tiny pink poodle!

In 200% Wolf, Freddy Lupin thinks he has everything it takes to lead his werewolf pack but earning the respect of his packmates proves to be a challenge. IF only he were more….Wolfish. But when a wayward wish transforms him into a werewolf and deposits a mischievous moon spirit on earth, Freddy must restore the cosmic order before it’s too late!

With Batty and his dog pals along for the ride, Freddy must seek out a dangerous sorceress with a grudge against the wol pack, before his new moon spirit friend runs out of life energy and fades away! If the team can avoid being turned into were-toads and Freddy can resist the pull of forbidden earth-magic, maybe they can send the spirit home and save the world. One thing’s for sure – Freddy will never question being a poodle again!

IN CINEMAS JULY 18

SYNOPSIS:

One cold, stormy night in New York City, a mysterious object falls from the sky and smashes through the window of a rundown apartment building. It is an egg, and from this egg emerges a strange little spider…

The creature is discovered by Charlotte, a rebellious 12-year old girl obsessed with comic books. Despite her stepfathe Ethan’s best efforts to connect with her through their comic book co-creation Fang Girl, Charlotte feels isolated. Her mother and Ethan are distracted by their new baby and are struggling to cope, leaving Charlotte to bond with the spider. Keeping it as a secret pet, she names it Sting.

As Charlotte’s fascination with Sting increases, so does its size. Growing at a monstrous rate, Sting’s appetite for blood becomes insatiable. Neighbours’ pets start to go missing, and then the neighbours themselves. Soon Charlotte’s family and the eccentric characters of the building realise that they are all trapped, hunted by a ravenous supersized arachnid with a taste for human flesh… and Charlotte is the only one wh knows how to stop it.
