Kids Bored Yet? Send Them to the Library's Movie Marathon

The Muskego Public Library is a great place to take the kids in general, but this week they're upping the ante with a Movie Marathon on Dec. 28 to entertain the kids.

As excited as they are for Christmas break, it seems boredom and cries of 'there's nothing to do' bubble up shortly after the last present is ripped open. So here's a list of the movies on tap that will take up their entire day, should they choose to 'veg out' there. (Synopses courtesy of Moviefone.com

9 a.m. - "Over the Hedge," rated PG: A group of feisty forest critters awaken following the winter freeze to discover that not only has a new neighborhood cropped up during the cold months, but living in close proximity to humans may have its benefits in this computer-animated comedy-adventure for all ages featuring the voices of Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes, Avril Lavigne, Eugene Levy, and William Shatner. 

11 a.m. - "101 Dalmatians," rated G: There are more puppies than you can shake a rolled up newspaper at in this live-action remake of the Disney animated favorite 101 Dalmatians. Roger (Jeff Daniels) is a designer of computer games who shares his home with his pet dalmatian, Pongo.

1 p.m. - "Brave," rated G: Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In 'Brave,' a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.

Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall . Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

3 p.m. - "Thief Lord," rated PG: A thieving band of orphans who steal from the rich simply to survive encounter a supernatural merry-go-round with mysterious powers in this screen adaptation of award-winning author Cornelia Funke's popular series of children's books.
