MOVIE GUIDE: Here are 4 flicks to kick off the festive season

Cape Town – Disney's new princess, Moana splashes onto the big screen today. With heavyweights like The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) and Lin Manuel it's no surprise it got a 5 star rating. 

There's also a Christmas movie, a local slapstick comedy and Kate Beckinsale returns to fight vampires.

Here are the 4 new films releasing in South Africa today:

Movie: Moana

Our rating: 5/5
