PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie (2023)
49%Suddenly, with an even greater ability to do good and help Adventure City, the gang bands together to form the Mighty Pups! Kristen Bell, Taraji P. Henson, Lil Rel Howery, and James Marsden key a stellar voice cast.
All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989)
50%An underrated challenger to Disney’s animation hegemony in the ’80s and ’90s, All Dogs Go to Heaven turned into a small franchise for United Artists, with two movies and a TV show. The original movie would never be G-rated today, as it’s basically a mob tale told through the lens of lovable dogs. After Charlie B. Barkin (Burt Reynolds) is murdered by his rival, he cons his way out of Heaven to get back at his killer.
But while he’s planning his revenge, Charlie stumbles upon an orphan girl who can talk to animals, giving him an even greater advantage against his enemies. But spending time with the girl makes him think of the con he pulled and wonder what he can do to make himself worthy of Heaven again. Again, it’s G-rated, but it’s much more of a PG film.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
46%The biggest movie of 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a ride the whole family can enjoy, thanks in part to more than 40 years of Mario history. In this version of the story, Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) are a couple of Brooklyn plumbers trying to make ends meet.
But when Luigi is sucked down a mysterious pipe, he winds up in a magical new world, imprisoned by the terrifying Bowser (Jack Black). As Mario follows to find him, he lands in the Mushroom Kingdom, where he meets the strong-willed Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy). To get Luigi back, Mario will have to tap into his special power and fend off Bowser’s army.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)
73%Antonio Banderas returns as the cavalier cat in this Shrek spinoff. Realizing he is nearing the end of his nine lives, Puss in Boots embarks on a journey into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star to restore his lost lives.
But with just a single life remaining, he will have to practice caution and team up with his former nemesis, Kitty Soft Paws (Salma Hayek Pinault). As they set into the woods, they must stay one step ahead of fairy tale creatures, including Goldilocks and the Three Bears Crime Family, “Big” Jack Horner, and The Big Bad Wolf.
Red One (2024)
34%The most expensive Christmas movie of all-time was a massive box office flop and hasn’t exactly earned rave reviews. Red One is PG-13, so we almost didn’t include it on this list, but as the biggest Christmas movie ever, it feels like it gets some special consideration.
After Santa Claus (code name: Red One) is kidnapped by anti-Christmas villains, Callum Drift (Dwayne Johnson), head of the North Pole’s E.L.F. security force, jumps into action. But first, he needs to find where Santa has been taken. To do that, he enlists the help of world-famous tracker and Santa skeptic, Jack O’Malley (Chris Evans). Traveling across the world and facing down abominable snowmen, the unlikely pair must overcome their differences to save Christmas.
