My dream of a maternity leave year filled with movie-watching days hasn't quite come true but that's not going to stop me come July/August! I'm booking the babysitter, getting out of the house and venturing into the cinema to experience these NZ premieres on the best screens in the country.
And I'm not missing my chance to take bub along too... Toons for Tots screenings are child-friendly and an absolute delight for young and old.
