SEWICKLEY — See “Wicked For Good,” savor animal puns galore in “Zootopia 2” and get ready for Friday’s “SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants”  premiere. 

An ode to the original Neil Diamond tribute, and holiday classics like  “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Elf,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (live action) and “Christmas in Connecticut” are other movie options this December at The Lindsay Theater in Sewickley.

Josh Axelrod, communications director for The Lindsay was a guest Tuesday with Scott Tady on the Beaver County Radio Morning Show.

Among the coming-soon movies Axelrod touted:

Everyone’s favorite aquatic pineapple dweller hits the big screen again Friday in “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.” The Hollywood Reporter says, “The Bikini Bottom crew triumphs in another rollicking undersea comedy,” adding the animated film “easily delivers another rib-tickling, delightfully frantic fourth installment of the series.”

Christmas Day brings the debut of “Song Sung Blue” with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as Mike and Claire Sardina, who performed as the Neil Diamondtribute band Lightning & Thunder.
