Wonder Woman 1984
Wonder Woman 1984 is finally leaping into cinemas, making it 2020’s first and last major superhero blockbuster. Gal Gadot returns as the Amazon warrior princess, battling Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah in the 1980s; The film is “a stand-alone film in the same way that Bond 007 films are, not one continuous story that requires many parts”.

Soul
In the first Pixar cartoon to have an African-American lead character, Jamie Foxx provides the voice of a music teacher who dreams of making it as a jazz pianist in New York. But just after a successful interview, he falls down a manhole（下水道的入孔）, and finds himself in a spiritual world where human spirits are given their personalities. And things get even more strange from there.
On Disney+ from 25 Dec
Nomadland
Fern can’t afford to live in her house, so she packs her things into a camper van, and drives off into the Nevada desert. She soon discovers she isn’t alone: a large community of senior citizens are forced to live on the road, supporting themselves with short-term jobs. What makes Nomadland unique is that while Fern is played by an Oscar-winning actress, nearly all of the people she meets are real nomads(流浪者) who retell their own experiences. Written and directed by Chloe Zhao (The Rider), the film is a “mixture of documentary（记录片） and fiction”.
Released on 4 Dec in the US and Canada, and 30 Dec in France
Wolfwalkers
The year’s finest animated film from Cartoon Saloon! The latest inspring fairy tale is set in the mid 17th-Century, when English soldiers are trying to get the wild woods near Kilkenny. One hunter’s daughter learns there aren’t just wolves in the forest, but “wolfwalkers” who can change into wolves at night. Richard Whittaker praises “a heartwarming story of family and friendship,
and a meaningful art history lesson… Wolfwalkers stands proud as a new classic.” On Apple TV+ from 11 Dec
