Kid’s Movies to Watch Out for in 2010

There will be all kinds of wonderful kids’ movies coming out in the year 2010. Disney will be releasing several movies next year and it will surely be an exciting year for young audiences. Here are the top ten movies that may be of interest to children.

1. The Last Song

This movie will be based on the book The Last Song which will be written by successful author Nicholas Sparks. This movie will be about a rebellious teenage girl (Miley Cyrus) that will visit her father (who she hasn’t seen in a long time) for the summer. It is expected to hit theaters on January 8^th, 2010. There is no official trailer for this movie yet, but more information can be found at http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=54110.

2. Alice in Wonderland

I am definitely looking forward to seeing this movie on March 5, 2010. The animated version of Alice in Wonderland was one of my favorite Disney movies when I was a kid. I have always been impressed with Tim Burton’s movies, particularly The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands. Tim Burton is an absolute genius. There will also be some excellent actors in this movie including Johnny Depp (who starred in Edward Scissorhands) and his Burton’s partner Helena Bonham Carter. Depp will play the Mad Hatter and Carter will play the Red Queen. Ann Hathaway (from the Princess Diaries) will play the White Queen and Alan Rickman ill play the caterpillar. This film will be different from the past film in that there will be some newly added characters.

4. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

This movie, which is slated for a release on May 28, 2010, will be based on the Prince of Persia game series which first came out in 1989 and continued through the 1990’s. The movie will star Jake Gyllenhaal who will play Prince Dastan, his father King Sharaman, and a princess named Tamina. They will go on a journey that will take them from India to Azad. Along the way, they find some powerful items including a large hourglass full of sand and a dagger. A dying Vizier and his staff will go after them to try to steal the items from them. The movie will be directed by Michael Bay who is known for directing Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, and Transformers. The trailer can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSrCIpa5Jw0.

5. Toy Story 3

I remember all the years ago when the first Toy Story movie came out. As a matter of fact, it has been 14 years. I really enjoyed it a lot. Tom Hanks voiced the Cowboy known as Woody and Tim Allen voiced Buzz Lightyear the spaceman. I thought they were really entertaining. I never did watch the entire second installment so I may watch that again so that I can get caught up. Even though I am older, I still enjoy watching some of the Disney movies. The trailer can be found at http://disney.go.com/toystory/#/videos/ts3_trailer.

6. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

This sounds as if it will be a rather neat adventure for families. Jay Baruchel will play a college student who is taught by a magician played by Nicolas Cage. The movie takes place in present day New York. It is set to come out on July 16, 2010. As of right now, there is no official trailer.
