TRANSCENDENCE, such a bizarre film and Thor is on tomorrow night on Film 4 HD. 9pm. Always preferred Thor over the second.

Weird time to be showing Paddington when Xmas is approaching, wonder if they have Frozen lined up or something

Some movie news here on films on BBC over Christmas. Press release today?

http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/c...ay-bbc-9312997

Let it go!

Paddington is listed as 6.15-8.00pm
The Expendables 3 (2014) on Channel 5 the same day 9-11.20
22 Jump Street (2014) the following Friday (16th) on C5
Frozen (2013) on BBC1 Xmas Day at 3.10-4.55pm, really should have been primetime

Filth (2013) gets its firs C4 airing on Sunday the 11th as well, having previously aired on Film4 11.00pm-12.50am

The Lone Ranger (2013) also Sunday the 11th, BBC2 at 8.00pm-10.20pm
Saving Mr. Banks might air on BBC2 the following Saturday, as the Saturday before it has part 1 of a Walt Disney documentary in the listings.

As you've probably heard by now Frozen has been confirmed for Christmas Day, BBC1.

Another for Sunday the 11th, pretty sure this has never aired despite it not listed as a premiere.

Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever (2014), 1.55pm-3.40pm, Channel 5

Way ahead of you, read up

I wonder if Frozen would work at around 4pm? Would kickstart the main evening on the day.

That would be a perfect time. Even though I don't think it'll be the big ratings event others do, it'll still be very effective.

Does the BBC outbid the other channels for these Disney films then?

They've had a Disney contract going back nearly 10 years. They used to have Universal and premiered Back To The Future, E.T. and Jurassic Park. Then ITV got that one and now Channel 4 have it. Paramount and 20th Century Fox used to be BBC and are Channel 4 now. Paramount was ITV for awhile too.

They jump all over the place.

Some great movie premieres coming up on the BBC: Frozen, Monsters University, Penguins of Madagascar, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Mr Peabody and Sherman, Muppets Most Wanted, and some Tinkerbell movie that I can't remember Also there is The Lady in The van and Pride on BBC 2.

Corabal, I agree with you, Frozen should be on later, 6.30pm would be pefect imo. And EE should be in two parts as it used to be. Personally I think that the animated short that they show should be on at 3.10 and Strictly at around 4pm. Yes that is risky, but SCD has a loyal audience and bad ratings on Xmas Day wouldn't have any effect on its next series. Movies used to be on later, and Frozen is the perfect one to try this out again.

It's that time of the year! With thanks to all here then is another update (amendments/additions denoted by >):-

So ITV are being their usual dickish selves and airing The Lion King against Frozen.

Something else for Xmas Eve

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) 6-9pm, ITV

You missed the word ever out of the end of the Grumpy Cat movie title, and I thought I'd stated the time of 22 Jump Street, my bad. 9pm-11pm

I will post the other tentative Xmas films later this evening

> A PIGEON SAT ON A BRANCH REFLECTING ON EXISTENCE (2014), Channel 4 1.50-3.35am - Monday (+1 2.50-4.35am) - Previously shown on Film 4?

Also no, never seen this listed on Film4

Lion King was on C4 over the summer, have ITV nabbed it?
Don't recall the last time I saw an animated Disney film on ITV.

The Disney rights are weird, C5 still show some as well. For another example of weirdness, Tangled premiered on ITV, was never shown again, turned up this year on Channel 4.

Yes very odd. The Walt Disney Classics appear all over. ITV seem to do very short term deals just for Christmas.

They appear to be showing Lion King, 101 Dalmations & Sleeping Beauty this Christmas.

Then who has Maleficent?
