A thief (Paul Rudd) discovers a suit that allows him to shrink to the size of an ant. He’s caught by its ageing owner (Michael Douglas) who asks him to go on a mission to seek and destroy some dangerous rival technology made by a jealous protégé (Corey Stoll). At this point we just need to lay down ...

A sequel to the Pixar hit, here we follow the monster duo in their early days at university. Neither are good students, and after a few weeks at college they are offered an ultimatum - win a scaring contest or leave forever.

OK so I was wrong we DID make it to the second film. The kids got a little scared but for some reason, not anywhere near as much as with the first film. That’s probably because it’s not that scary.
