wiZ kidZ - Arts news and events for families December 2010: Christmas Extra Dear omss, We just had to share this extra stocking filler with you! For the Christmas season, Filmhouse are running a series of festive films as part of their regular 'Wean's World' event.  With classics from The Wizard of Oz to A Muppet Christmas Carol, it's one we were sure you wouldn't want to miss! Festive films at Filmhouse Wean's World this Christmas at Filmhouse Screenings for our younger audience with ticket prices at £2.50 per person, big or small! For more information, click here. A Muppet Christmas Carol Sunday 12 December, 1pm Monday 13 December, 11am A fun but meaningful adaptation of the Dickens story, with Gonzo taking on the role of Dickens and narrating the tale, along with the help of Rizzo the Rat. They take us on a journey through a dank London, filled with all your favourite Muppets and a lot of talking vegetables too! Scrooge (Michael Caine) is so miserly he won't even allow his fuzzy employees an extra piece of coal for the fire at Christmas. Such meanness is not tolerated by his deceased business partners, who appear to him one night and tell him that he must face up to his misdeeds. And so he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future... The Wizard of Oz Sunday 19 December, 1pm Monday 20 December, 11am When Dorothy's neighbour, Miss Gulch, threatens to take away her precious dog, Toto, Dorothy runs away from home. Attempting to return, she and her house are caught in a twister and blown to the garish, colour-saturated Land of Oz. The house lands on Oz's Wicked Witch of the East, killing her and making Dorothy an instant celebrity. The Wicked Witch of the West, the sister of the deceased witch, soon arrives and threatens revenge. Filled with extravagant sets and costumes and glorious song and dance routines, Dorothy's adventures in Oz are pure delight, even more so on the big screen. Also showing (normal ticket prices for adults apply): Raymond Briggs Trilogy Friday 24 December, 1pm The Snowman A young boy's snowman comes to life at midnight and together they set out on a wonderful adventure. Father Christmas This irreverent Santa breaks from tradition in many ways. He has no Mrs, owns only four reindeer, and decides to convert his sleigh into an airborne motor home for a pre-Christmas trip to Vegas. The Bear A polar bear returns a teddy bear to a little girl and so begins a beautiful friendship. www.filmhousecinema.com Filmhouse, 88 Lothian Road, Edinburgh Thinking of going to a show with your family this Christmas?
