DreamWorks Animation elevates its global smash streaming series into its first ever cinematic adventure with Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie.

Since the debut of the Gabby’s Dollhouse series in 2021, kids around the world have been having one big sprinkle party with Gabby and her friends on Netflix. Created by celebrated storytellers Traci Paige Johnson and Jennifer Twomey, Gabby’s Dollhouse is a mixed media preschool series that unboxes a surprise before jumping into a fantastical animated world full of adorable cat characters that live inside Gabby’s dollhouse.

In the new film, Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner, reprising her role from the series) heads out on a road trip with her Grandma Gigi (four-time Grammy Award winner Gloria Estefan) to the urban wonderland of Cat Francisco. But when Gabby’s dollhouse, her most prized possession, ends up in the hands of an eccentric cat lady named Vera (Oscar® nominee Kristen Wiig), Gabby sets off on an adventure through the real world to get the Gabby Cats back together and save the dollhouse before it’s too late.

Tuesday 18^th November – Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere

From 20th Century Studios, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 “Nebraska” album, following the success of his 1980 album, ‘The River’ and before the infamous’ Born in the USA’ album in 1984.

It was a time when Springsteen was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom but burnt out, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his strained relationship with his father and his battle with depression. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works – a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.

The film depicts a man who is afraid at times to say out loud what he is dealing with – an American man enduring loneliness and a kind of spiritual devastation. The story is “about 1982 but it’s also a story about right now. I hope one thing the movie does is make us all think about going out the door less than perfect and slightly more human because of it” writer Warren Zane

Directed by Scott Cooper
With Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen

The film should finish at 3.30pm
