The movie builds on the visually striking style and futuristic ideas of the earlier ‘TRON’ films.

Rooted in Bulgarian folklore, the film explores themes of family, making amends for past mistakes, and the impact of our decisions.

The Pixar movie ‘Ratatouille’ tells the story of Remy, an incredibly gifted rat who longs to be a famous chef in Paris. Despite facing huge challenges, he teams up with Linguini, a somewhat awkward kitchen helper. Together, they try to succeed in the competitive world of French cooking and win over a tough food critic. The film shows that talent can be found in the most unexpected places.

‘Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl’ (2003)

In ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,’ Captain Jack Sparrow arrives in Port Royal hoping to get his ship back from Captain Barbossa. He joins forces with a blacksmith, Will Turner, and together they work to save Elizabeth Swann from a band of ghostly pirates. The movie features exciting battles against cursed sailors who turn into skeletons when the moon shines, and it was a huge success, launching the popular ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film series based on the Disney theme park ride.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ (2019)

‘Avengers: Endgame’ brings together the surviving Avengers to fix the damage caused by Thanos. They use time travel to collect the Infinity Stones from different moments in the past. This huge finale to the decade-long ‘Infinity Saga’ features a large cast of characters and ends with a massive battle to save the universe.

‘The Fantastic 4: First Steps’ (2025)

“Fantastic Four: First Steps” reimagines Marvel’s original superhero team – Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm – in a 1960s-inspired, futuristic setting. The story follows them as they grapple with both their newfound powers, gained from cosmic radiation, and the challenges of being world-famous heroes. This sets up their eventual inclusion in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

‘Freakier Friday’ (2025)

‘Freakier Friday’ brings back Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, reprising their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman after the events of the first film. This time, the story focuses on the humorous difficulties faced by a larger family when they experience another magical body swap. With updated family relationships and modern problems, the movie delivers plenty of comedic moments while continuing the fun spirit of ‘Freaky Friday’ and offering a fresh look at the challenges of being a mother.

‘Zootopia’ (2016)

I absolutely loved ‘Zootopia’! It follows Officer Judy Hopps, a determined bunny cop, as she tries to make a name for herself by cracking a really puzzling missing persons case. She’s forced to team up with Nick Wilde, a sly fox who’s definitely seen it all, and their partnership is… complicated, to say the least. As they dig deeper, they uncover a conspiracy that could really shake things up in the city. What’s brilliant is how the movie uses this amazing animal city as a way to talk about prejudice and getting along. Honestly, the world-building is incredible – you go from the icy streets of Tundratown to the steamy, lush Rainforest District, and it all feels so alive!

‘Avatar’ (2009)

The movie ‘Avatar’ tells the story of Jake Sully, a former Marine, who is sent to the alien world of Pandora. There, he gets caught between his mission and a strong connection he develops with the Na’vi people and their way of life. The film uses advanced motion-capture technology to show the clash between human business goals and the native population. Ultimately, Jake leads a fight to save the sacred Tree of Souls from being destroyed.

‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ (2022)

‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ follows Jake Sully and Neytiri as they build a family life on the planet Pandora. When a past enemy reappears, they must leave their forest home and find safety with the Metkayina, a clan who live near the ocean. The story centers on the Sully family learning to live in and with the water, all while getting ready for a fight. The film highlights the strength of family and how everything in nature is connected.
