“It’s a me, Mario!”

Even if you’ve never played video games before, you’ve probably heard this line. It’s said by one of the world’s most popular game characters EVER, and now he’s a star in a high-quality animation!

The Super Mario Bros. Movie focuses on Mario and his brother Luigi as they go on a journey to save a captured princess from an underground labyrinth. It’s a simple story that stays true to the video game it’s based on, and is PERFECT to watch with the whole family.

Coming to you this December 28 is yet ANOTHER Netflix adaptation of a globally loved game franchise. Pokémon Concierge will be a series about Haru, a newly employed concierge at the Pokémon Resort. It’s a slice-of-life fantasy show that focuses on how Haru takes care of Pokémon and their owners, who visit as the Resort’s guests.

The show is brought to life with stop-motion animation, which makes the visuals unique compared to any other Pokémon content. The Pokémon look REALLY good with this animation style, so plus points there!

Is It Cake?

Want to enjoy a cooking competition with a very unique concept? Here it is! ‘Is It Cake?’ is an American game show where the world’s best bakers compete for huge cash prizes, but they DON’T win by making the most delicious cakes.

Instead, the bakers need to make the best realistic-looking cakes they can! Every episode, an object is selected as the theme, and three contestants have to bake a cake that looks identical to that chosen object!

If they can trick the judges into believing their cake is a real everyday object, the bakers WIN the prize money! It’s simple, entertaining, and will leave even YOU questioning what’s real …. Or is it just a cake?

Life on Our Planet

Despite its simple title, Life on Our Planet tells a very complex story about the rise and fall of long-extinct species. The CGI used in this documentary is beautiful and realistic. In fact, it’s so realistic-looking that it might fool your kids into thinking that dinosaurs still exist!

Not a fan of documentaries? That’s probably because they weren’t produced by someone as awesome as Steven Spielberg, but THIS documentary is! But that’s not even the best part. 

Life on Our Planet is narrated by none other than Morgan Freeman. Yep, that’s the guy known to have one of the best speaking voices in entertainment history. So sit back, relax and enjoy!

Best. Christmas. Ever!

It’s Christmas month, so OBVIOUSLY we need to recommend a show with a festive vibe! But ‘Best. Christmas. Ever!’ is NOT about a lovely celebration, because that would be SO boring. 

Every Christmas, the main character Charlotte receives a boastful holiday newsletter from her old friend Jackie. Charlotte hates the fact that Jackie always seems to brag about having the perfect life. Cue the jealousy and drama!

In a strange stroke of fate, Charlotte and her family unexpectedly end up on Jackie’s doorstep just days before Christmas. Seizing the opportunity, Charlotte resolves to show that Jackie’s seemingly perfect life might not be as flawless as it appears!

It’s a story filled with friendship, laughter and delightful silliness! So unless you REALLY don’t like rom-coms, definitely give ‘Best. Christmas. Ever!’ some of your time!
