Relaxed Screening: The Bad Guys 2 (PG) + on stage Villainous Film Quiz

Family Film Week

A group of animated animals gathered together

If you missed it this summer, catch up with the latest adventure from the not-so-criminal criminals, The Bad Guys!

After the events of the first film, The Bad Guys are attempting to re-enter society and get honest jobs, but the arrival of an audacious new super villain known as the Phantom Bandit throws suspicion their way. Soon Mr. Wolf and his pals are drawn into a high stakes heist that could bring down not only the gang, but the entire planet. 

With wall to wall wise-cracks, fast-paced action and zippy animation – this sequel is an absolute blast!

Before the screening starts, we’ll be hosting our annual Villainous Film Quiz to find out how well you know your cinematic scallywags! 

Age suggestion: 6+
