This Christmas season's big-time comedy-adventure family flick tentpole would have to be Shawn Levy's "Night at the Museum," which stars Ben Stiller as a night watchman forced to contend with all sorts of re-animated historical figures, wacky animals, and dinosaur bones. And now we get a few pics to pore over.

From IGN FilmForce: "Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley, despite being perpetually down on his luck, thinks he’s destined for something big. But even he could never have imagined how “big,” when he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a museum of natural history. During Larry’s watch, extraordinary things begin to occur. Amidst the chaos, the only person Larry can turn to for advice is a wax figure of President Teddy Roosevelt."

Opening December 22nd, "Museum" also stars Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Dick Van Dyke, Carla Gugino, and Mickey Rooney.
