Over the course of ten days and 435 miles, an unbreakable bond is forged between pro adventure racer Michael Light (Mark Wahlberg) and a scrappy street dog companion dubbed Arthur. Based on an incredible true story, Arthur the King (Wed., May 1 at 7 p.m.) follows Light, desperate for one last chance to win, as he convinces a sponsor to back him and a team of athletes (Simu Liu, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Ali Suliman) for the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic. As the team is pushed to their outer limits of endurance in the race, Arthur redefines what victory, loyalty and friendship truly mean. Arthur the King is rated PG-13 and is 108 minutes long.
Jack Black provides the voice of the title character once more in Kung Fu Panda 4 (Sat., May 4 at 2 p.m.) Po, the Dragon Warrior (Black), is tapped to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace and he needs to quickly find and train a new Dragon Warrior before he can assume his new lofty position.

In their quest to protect the Valley of Peace from Chameleon’s reptilian claws, this comedic odd-couple duo will have to work together. In the process, Po will discover that heroes can be found in the most unexpected places. Kung Fu Panda 4is rated PG and is 94 minutes long.
