FILMS to enthrall youngsters during the Easter holidays start their cinema runs today.
S Club Seeing Double is aiming to capture the band's adoring teenage fans, who have snapped up tickets for S Club's forthcoming tour (timely nicely to coincide with the release of the film).
The remaining six members of the all-singing, all-dancing pop group attempt to follow in the footsteps of The Monkees and Spice Girls with this light-hearted musical adventure.
Tina, Jon, Bradley, Jo, Hannah and Rachel are exhausted by their endless schedule of personal appearances, signings, recordings and rehearsals, masterminded by their demanding tour manager Alistair (played by Joseph Adams).
The friends find themselves replaced by surprisingly convincing look-alikes, and are glad of the rest, taking some much needed time out in Barcelona.
But trouble looms large when the group members discover their alter-egos are in fact clones, created by mad scientist Victor (David Gant) as part of a sinister cloning conspiracy.
Thankfully, the eponymous pop posse are on hand to save the day, joining forces with their belly-buttonless doppelgangers to ensure the world doesn't stop movin' to that funky, funky beat.
Meanwhile, The Little Polar Bear is a sweet animated film for very young viewers.
Inquisitive baby polar bear Lars shocks the local bear community by striking up a tender friendship with a young seal named Robby.
Kalle, leader of a rogue polar bear gang, and his henchbears Nalle and Palle are outraged by the friendship and try to turn the rest of the clan against Lars, with no success.
But when Lars disappears one morning, Robby and fellow polar bear Greta fear the worst and launch a daring rescue mission.
They enlist the services of fun-loving penguin Caruso, Arctic hare Lena and snow goose Pieps to scour every inch of the ice floes to find Lars.
Little do they know that the youngster has drifted out to sea headed for the tropical climes of Africa - and a host of adventures.
