8. ‘Ice Age’ (2002)

As a movie fan, I always enjoyed ‘Ice Age’! It’s such a fun story about a mammoth, a sloth, and a tiger who team up to return a lost baby to its family. It really kicked off a whole series of movies from Blue Sky Studios, and it’s where we first met Scrat and his hilarious obsession with that acorn. The movie is packed with silly, physical humor, but it also has a surprisingly sweet message about sticking together and how friendships can form in the most unexpected places. Plus, the voice acting is top-notch – it’s a movie the whole family can enjoy!

Gutiérrez and Guillermo del Toro, the film features a unique, handcrafted visual style.

Viewers can expect realistic action sequences mixed with discussions about following orders, dealing with the fallout of their actions, and staying true to their beliefs.

5. ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ (1993)

This charming stop-motion musical tells the story of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, who attempts to take over Christmas with hilariously messy consequences. Created by Henry Selick and Tim Burton, with music by Danny Elfman, the film is famous for its beautifully crafted animation and detailed sets.

Because it celebrates both Halloween and Christmas, it’s a popular choice for viewing throughout the fall and winter months.

4. ‘Lilo & Stitch’ (2025)

The new live-action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ movie retells the beloved story of a Hawaiian girl who takes in a mischievous alien, known as Experiment 626, and finds family in the most unexpected place.

The film stays true to the original’s important themes of family, friendship, and new beginnings, while also bringing the story to a new generation of viewers.

3. ‘The Incredibles’ (2004)

‘The Incredibles’ is about a family of superheroes who have to come out of hiding when a former fan becomes a villain.

Pixar’s ‘Elio’ is about a creative young boy who is accidentally chosen to represent Earth to a group of aliens. The movie follows his first contact adventure, dealing with themes of misunderstandings, figuring out who you are, and how to navigate different cultures.
