Movies these holidays

I am staring down the barrel of 2 weeks with 2 kiddos at home, 24/7. Safe to say I am already making some plans. We are planning a trip to the movies as a special treat, so here is the low down of the movies coming out these holidays. I am still not sure which one we will see, as none of them are about princesses covered in pink glitter riding unicorns with wings (known as Alicorns), which would be my children's ultimate movie I'm sure.

Rotten Tomato score: 9.6/10 Synopsis
The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet (Chris Pratt) an ordinary, rules- following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. The directors of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs bring LEGO to life in this stop-motion-simulating animated comedy featuring Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson, Alison Brie, Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth Banks, Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Michelangelo and the 2002 NBA All Stars.
