School may have been canceled and the movie business may have gone down, but that does not stop new releases entirely! This month there are still many movies to be released through alternative means, such as online and through streaming services. Many film companies have postponed their release dates as well. A lot of the upcoming films will be available via Amazon’s new Prime Cinema. So far, only a few movies have been confirmed to be released online. Nonetheless, let’s jump into the top movies this month!

Trolls World Tour (PG)- April 10

Poppy and Branch return and discover that they are part of one of the six different Troll tribes scattered over six different lands. Each of these tribes are devoted to six different kinds of music: Funk, Country, Techno, Classical, Pop, and Rock. So, they decide to go on a new adventure that makes their world a whole lot bigger and musical. A member of hard-rock royalty, Queen Barb, aided by her father King Thrash, wants to destroy all other kinds of music to let rock reign supreme though. With the fate of the world at stake, Poppy and Branch, along with their friends, set out to visit all the other lands to unify the Trolls in harmony against Barb, who’s looking to upstage them all.

Not many movies have been fully greenlit for releases online yet, so more film companies will announce dates as we move further into the month. So, sadly, with so much mixed information, there are not other movies that have been confirmed to release this month by good sources. However, there are still plenty of films to catch up on through streaming services this month though!
