The channel will be home to some of the most well-known family-friendly animated films released in the last few years.

If you want to get your hands on Sky Cinema Animation, then the most flexible way to do so is to sign up for a Now TV Cinema Pass. This costs £11.99 per month, but you can sign up for a seven-day free trial if you want to try out Sky Cinema Animation for free. You can also cancel at any time.

This pass will give you access to the rest of the Sky Cinema library, which includes the likes of the entire Harry Potter series, SpiderMan: Far From Home, Johnny English, The Chronicles of Narnia and more.

You can also bundle in a Now TV Cinema Pass with the Now TV Entertainment Pass, which includes shows from Sky One, Sky Atlantic, Sky Comedy and more. You can check out the best TV shows on Now TV right here. There’s also an option of a Now TV Kids Pass, if you’re looking for TV shows geared towards the little ones.

Alternatively, you can sign up for an account with Sky. Bundles vary depending on what type of package you want – you can build your own TV and broadband deal over on the Sky website. Alternatively, take a look at how Sky compares to another TV rival, Virgin.
