Home Alone
- 1990
- US
- 1h 43min
- PG
- Directed by: Chris Columbus
- Written by: John Hughes
- Cast: Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, Catherine O'Hara
An alternative Christmas treat chosen by you. When Kevin is accidently left Home Alone he is forced to protect his house from a pair of bungling burglars.
Peter and Kate McCallister (Heard and O'Hara) have an eight-year-old brat and wisely – albeit accidentally – leave him behind in Chicago when they go on holiday to Paris. Left to his own devices young Kevin (Culkin) has to deal with two bungling burglars (Pesci and Stern) who threaten to invade his peaceful haven. Jolly, if sadistic, scare-comedy antics produced by teen flick veteran John Hughes.

Jack and the Beanstalk
Beaver Ridge Campsite has a GIANT problem.
Every night, the sound of GIANT footsteps, causes treetops to tremble, windows to wobble and clouds to collide bringing GIANT rainstorms across the Enchanted Forest. Sometimes a GIANT voice is heard booming across the sky.
Visitors have stopped coming to the campsite so no one has any work and the village is running out of money. Pretty soon everyone will be poor.
Dame Tilly Trot thinks the noise is coming from Giant Grumblebum who was banished to live in the Kingdom of Clouds where he has slept for one hundred years. He must have been disturbed last Bonfire Night when a particularly loud banger went off, shattering the peace and quiet of the Woodlands.
The Lord Mayor Tommy Tomato calls an emergency meeting of the townsfolk telling everyone to be on the lookout for any signs of the Giant.
Forest Rangers Sidney Sprout and Holly Bush patrol the area, Robin Hood searches the Forest, Red Riding Hood watches the Withering Woods, Big Mac the Cow marshals the meadows and Jack Beansprout teaches the woodland animals to dance! As if that would help!
Suddenly the arrival of a new visitor Madame Cowella Daville throws everyone into a tailspin and a GIGANTIC adventure begins.
Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum…beware of Giant Grumblebum!
Packed full of adventure, fun, dazzling costumes, hit songs, audience participation, and all your favourite characters – don’t miss our giant panto that’s Fe-Fi-Fo-Fun!
