The LEGO Batman Movie is set to launch the Audi Dublin International Film Festival's children and young people's strand, with attendees getting to see the highly anticipated movie ahead of its general release.

The film festival's Fantastic Flix strand is aimed at 4-16 year olds and will feature a selection of movies from around the world during its two-week run from February 4. 

There will also be plenty of other activities to keep young movie buffs happy including workshops, short films and a Children's Jury.

However the undeniable highlight will be the chance to get a sneak preview of The LEGO Batman Movie which will screen at Movies @ Dundrum on Saturday, February 4 at 11am, including a family-friendly pre-screening festival party at the cinema.

The film sees star of The LEGO Movie, LEGO Batman (with the gravel voice of Will Arnett), in his own big-screen adventure as he tries to save Gotham from The Joker's hostile takeover.

The movie already boasts some of the best - and more importantly funniest - trailers in years.

Other highlights of the Fantastic Flix line-up include a special selection of films from children's author Jacqueline Wilson, who will be in Dublin taking part in Q&A events and introductory addresses.

There will also be a screening of the Golden Globe-nominated animation My Life as a Courgette. Tickets for Fantastic Flix are available from the festival website.
