14. I Feel Pretty (2018) Renee Bennett (played by Amy Schumer) is your stereotypical mid-thirties city girl who struggles with low self-esteem and a desire to get thinner, prettier, and sexier. Most women have probably wished for a genie to grant them their dream body overnight, something which partially happens inI Feel Pretty… but with a fun twist! Rather than actually looking any different, Renee hits her head and wakes up to find shefeelsdifferent....
14. Treasure Planet (2002) Treasure Planetemerged towards the end of Disney’s cartoon heyday, about half a century after the princess classics and competing with the start of Pixar’s animation boom. Treasure Planethas a distinct noughties feel about it—even though the protagonist was modeled after 1950s icon James Dean—infusing the famous 1883 novelTreasure Islandwith sci-fi elements. These pirates are actually surfing the skies rather than the seas, led by a cool guy adventurer voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt....
14. The Secret World of Arrietty (2010) The Secret World of Arriettyis a fantastic film, but the reason why it ranks this low on my list is that Arrietty and her family are never explicitly said to be “fairies.” They’re simply “tiny people.” How tiny?

Critics of the time enjoyed the excitement and SFX ofThe Poseidon Adventurewhile still acknowledging it as a hollow, formulaic spectacle....
14. Dr. Stone For many,Dr. Stoneis actually a Japanese anime—and that technically isn’t wrong—so you may be wondering why it’s on this list. While the source manga series is written by Riichiro Inagaki, it’s actually illustrated by a South Korean manhwa-turned-manga artist named Mu-jik Park (under the pen name Boichi). That gives the art style ofDr. Stonea subtle but unique twist. The story ofDr. Stonecenters on Senku Ishigami, a 15-year-old genius who’s suddenly revived and finds himself in a world where all humankind was turned into stone statues 3,700 years ago....
