Based on the 1922 Margery Williams novel of the same name, The Velveteen Rabbit stars Phoenix Laroche as seven-year-old William, a boy who receives a very special gift on Christmas Day. It’s the titular stuffed bunny, of course, and over time, the two become the best of pals. But like any heart-wrenching story about children and the close bond they share with their toys, both William and the rabbit are forced to contend with some emotional situations. Presented in 2D animation, three-dimensional CGI, and live action, The Velveteen Rabbit is narrated by British actress Helena Bonham Carter (The Crown).
Starring Eve Hewson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jack Reynor, Flora and Son brings drama, laughs, and plenty of music to Apple TV+ movie fanatics. Hewson stars as Flora, a Dublin single mother who’s having a hard time raising Max (Orén Kinlan), her rebellious teenage son. That is until law enforcement encourages her to find Max a hobby. After unearthing a beat-up guitar, Max starts taking online lessons from a Los Angeles musician (played by Gordon-Levitt), which ends up changing his life for the better.
