HBO lines up Diwali treat for kids

HBO

HBO is targeting kids this month. The movie channel has initiated 'Wonder Kids' a package of four adventure films, including three Ninjas Knuckle Up, Harriet the Spy, Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain and 3 Ninjas Kick Back. The films will be aired every Wednesday at 9.30 pm.

On November 7, Sean Fox, Max Elliot Slade and Evan Bonifant star in 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up. The three are involved in an adventure, but this could be their toughest challenge to date. Their mission is to find their father and a secret disk that contains evidence that could stop the toxic landfill that is destroying the Indian community. However, the town is owned by a rich man who controls the police and the mayor. The three ninjas might have faced harsh odds before, but they will need all their power to win this time, perhaps even some new tricks will be needed. 

Harriet the Spy, based on Louise Fitzhugh's best-selling young people's novel about an 11-year-old girl, Harriet M. Welsch who is determined to be a famous writer when she grows up. Following her nanny's advice, she starts spying on her parents, neighbours and friends, avidly detailing their comings and goings into her secret journal. Her notebook is subsequently discovered, and Harriet finds herself shunned by everyone, and struggling to find a way out. 

Gold diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain, an HBO exclusive, is a movie about friendship and adventure. When Beth moves from L.A. to a small country town in the Summer, she meets Jody, a girl who isn't too popular with the other kids, and then becomes her friend. Jody's dream is to find the lost gold of Bear Mountain with the help of a map that she has acquired from a woman named Molly Morgan, who was thought to have found hundreds of ounces of gold. Beth and Jody have many adventures together. The movie continues digging deeper into Jody's life through Beth's eyes. 

The 3 Ninjas Kick Back is about the threesome of Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum who are back with their first adventure since their last! Their grandfather sends them on a mission to rescue a sacred Ninja dagger, which has been stolen. There they get to face a team of trained warriors, led by Miyo, a teenage girl. Gradually Rocky, the trios leader, become good friends of Miyo, who later helps them to retrieve the dagger. Watch this Ninja action on November 28, 2001 at 9:30pm.
