The book we all fell in love with in elementary school is making its way to theaters this year. The story follows children as they travel through galaxies in search of their missing scientist father. Featuring a cast full of favorites like Oprah Winfrey, Chris Pine and Mindy Kaling along with its impressive visuals, this film is expected to bring our childhood imagination to life on screen.

Does this one even need an explanation? This long-awaited sequel has taken 14 years and I have no doubt it will be worth the wait.
