Finding Nemo 3D
Sat 30 March, 13:00
Little Nemo is a clownfish who is
starting his first day of school.
Despite his over-protective dad Marlin
watching cautiously nearby, Nemo
is kidnapped and forced on an
unexpected journey of survival.
He is helped along the way by some
unexpected friends, including a nosy
pelican and Bruce, a very large shark.
Marlin teams up with the
scatterbrained Dory as he desperately
searches for his son across Australia’s
Great Barrier Reef.
You’ll be entranced by the beautiful
sea colours and creatures as much as
the heart-warming story at the core of
Finding Nemo. Told with action and
excitement suitable for the whole
family, the film also features some of
the best voice work since Toy Story
with a cast including Albert Brooks,
Geoffrey Rush, Barry Humphries (aka
Dame Edna Everage), Ellen DeGeneres
and Willem Dafoe.

The Wizard Of Oz
Sat 13 April, 13:00
Although it’s over 70 years old, The
Wizard of Oz remains one of the great
family films of all time, and returns to
DCA in a sparkling, digitally restored
version that puts the ruby well and
truly back into those famous slippers.
Based on L. Frank Baum’s fantastical
novel, the film sees Dorothy whirled
up by a terrifying tornado from a
colourless farm in Kansas and
transported to the magical world of
Oz. During her travels, Dorothy meets
scatterbrained scarecrows, heartless
tin men and cowardly lions (as well as
a very green witch) and learns the
important lesson that there is indeed
“no place like home”.
Winner of a recent Discovery Film
Festival poll for Dundee’s favourite
family film, The Wizard of Oz is a great
opportunity to refresh some memories
ahead of our forthcoming screening of
the new Disney film Oz the Great and
Powerful.

Oz the Great and
Powerful 3D
Sat 27 April, 13:00
Audiences are now very familiar with
Dorothy’s arrival and adventures in the
land of Oz – but how did the Wizard get
there?
Director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) goes
back to the original L. Frank Baum
stories to show how Oscar Diggs
(James Franco), a small time-circus
magician, suffers a similar twist of fate
to Dorothy, taking him from Kansas to
Oz. He soon finds plenty of
opportunities for fame and fortune as
everyone thinks he is a famous wizard
whose arrival had been foretold. But
three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis),
Evanora (Rachel Weisz), and Glinda
(Michelle Williams), are suspicious and
it will take all his magician’s skills to
survive in this new world.
Using the best of modern technology,
Raimi creates a fantasy land full of
towering waterfalls, lush forests and a
truly Emerald City, whilst not forgetting
the magic of the earlier film. It’s not a
remake but a prequel – and following
the yellow brick road is still a journey
worth making!
