TRAVEL We can think of a very topical place to visit this month. It's a popular destination for those wanting to meet a very magical man.  He's a big chap with white hair and beard to match.  He's fond of the colour red and has a few hooves to help him along his merry way.  (Bonus points if you can work out how many hooves help him!)

The full trailer for the live action remake of the classic Disney cartoon Dumbo has been released, and it’s going straight to the top of our film watchlist. In 1941 – and despite being only 64 minutes long – Dumbo was pretty revolutionary for its advances in animation techniques. It’s an enduring family favourite and many consider it an essential part of the Disney films canon. It also won an Oscar for best music!

We’re sure the heartfelt story will be in safe hands with Burton, and his impressive cast which includes Danny DeVito, Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton and Eva Green. This new version will be released in 2019. Dumbo tells the tale of a flying elephant who is bullied for his giant ears, separated from his mother and made to perform with...

FILM We have two films we want to see this November. And why not? The temperature has plummeted so pass us the popcorn!  Firstly, there's a new live action Disney film that looks very seasonal! The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is an adaptation of the short story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" and has been since adapted in the form of The Nutcracker Ballet.
