28. Avatar (2009)

James Cameron's movie was a hit back then, telling the story of the human colonization of Pandora, a lush habitable moon in the Alpha Centauri star system, in order to mine the valuable mineral called unobtanium.

25. National Treasure (2004)

This is the first one in the National Treasure film series and stars Nicolas Cage, Harvey Keitel, Jon Voight, Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, Justin Bartha, and Christopher Plummer.

24. Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

The creature is created by a mad scientist to cause chaos and destruction, and he initially uses Lilo to avoid being captured by an intergalactic federation but ends up considering her family and changes his mind.

22. The Simpsons Movie (2007)

Homer accidentally pollutes the town's water supply, so he takes his family and flees before Springfield is encased in a giant dome by the EPA.

He proved to be a talented player, and he got to play for the team between 1976 and 1978.

18. X-Men (2000)

15. Night at the Museum (2006)

If you love Ben Stiller, this comedy is a good choice when it comes to rewatching movies.

This is the 10th-highest-grossing movie overall in Disney company history and won several awards. Young Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and Susan are separated from their mother in a London bombing during the Blitz, and they end up in a fantasy world called Narnia. This is an excellent Disney production where we get to see James McAvoy as Mr. Tumnus and Tilda Swinton in a magnificent role as the White Witch who cursed Narnia to eternally experience winter and never Christmas, while the children fight to defeat her with the help of the wise lion Aslan.

13. The Incredibles (2004)

The Incredibles is one of the most appreciated Disney and Pixar collaborations, and it features a family that's made entirely of superheroes. Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl live a quiet suburban life with their three children and hide their powers as per the government's request. However, they all get into a conflict with a vengeful fan who becomes their enemy - and the movie's villain. It won two Academy Awards and one Hugo Award, and it's rated PG for "action violence."

12. Cars (2006)

The first installment of the Cars movie series is the most loved of all since it is where it all began. Our favorite talking cars are voiced by Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, and George Carling among others, and race car drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. (as "Junior"), Mario Andretti, Michael Schumacher, and car enthusiast Jay Leno (as "Jay Limo") voice themselves in a hilarious story where brash rookie sensation Lightning McQueen finds new friends while stranded in deserted Radiator Springs.

11. Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

Just like all the other movies in the Ice Age series, this one is hilarious and engaging, as our favorite characters face a massive flood. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and Chris Wedge reprise their roles as Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat. They work together with their new friends, Ellie (Queen Latifah) and her possum brothers, to save the valley from impending doom. During this adventure, Manny finds love.

10. Ice Age (2002)

This movie screams comedy, as silly sloth Sid (John Leguizamo) keeps the laughter going by putting himself in comic situations and delivering hilarious lines while taunting loner wooly mammoth Manny (Ray Romano) and sardonic saber-tooth tiger (Denis Leary). As they come across a human baby, they try to return it to their tribe. Let's not forget the silly "saber-toothed squirrel" called Scrat, who is perpetually searching for a place to bury his acorn.

9. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)

This is the most awkward of the movie series, as Jack Sparrow is trapped in Davy Jones' Locker, and an unexpected alliance is formed to rescue him: Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Hector Barbossa, and the crew of the Black Pearl. The reason is not what one would expect - they actually need Jack to cast his vote to preserve the freedom-loving pirate life, as he's the last of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court. This means we get to see Bill Nighy as Davy Jones and Naomie Harris as Tia Dalma/Calypso again.

8. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

An older movie of the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, Dead Man's Chest as thrilling as the others, but this one has a deeper and more touching story involving the sad romance between Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) and Calypso. It's also one that pushed more memes and quotes into pop culture thanks to Jack Sparrow's (Johnny Depp) special hilarious input while stranded on the island with the indigenous people who made him their temporary god-king before trying to sacrifice him.

7. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

It's awesome to watch this spectacular older movie of the Pirates of the Caribbean in 4K and see again how the story began, as Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) steals Jack Sparrow's (Johnny Depp) ship, the Black Pearl, and attacks Port Royal to kidnap the governor's daughter, Elizabeth (Keira Knightley). Jack goes with blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) to retrieve his ship and save Elizabeth along the way, in a fantasy action movie seasoned with comedy.

6. Iron Man (2008)

Even though it's the first of the Iron Man movie series, it is the one that created the hero and pumped in a lot of action as Downey Jr. delivers a rockstar performance. It became a massive success, exceeding Disney's expectations. We are introduced to Tony Stark, who is kidnapped and forced to build a destructive weapon, but uses his wits to create the iconic suit and escape, then fights a longtime friend and becomes a better person by deciding to be Iron Man and protect the world.

5. Finding Nemo (2003)

Who doesn't love this beautiful animation? It tells the story of a clownfish called Marlin (Albert Brooks), who used to live peacefully in an anemone with his family. However, he goes looking for his son after he's captured from Australia's Grand Barrier Reef and taken to a dentist's office. On his journey, he meets the adorable regal blue tang fish Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), who keeps forgetting things. This is a great option when it comes to selecting a throwback movie on Disney Plus.

4. Monsters, Inc. (2001)

This must be the cutest monster story ever. We get to meet little human girl Boo, who accidentally ends up in a fantasy world, where all kinds of monsters train and work in a factory that gathers children's screams to power up the monster city. Big blue Sulley (John Goodman) and round green Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) need to hurry and return the human child to her world before it's too late, but the cunning purple, eight-legged lizard-like monster Randall (Steve Buscemi) stands in their way.

3. Wall-E (2008)

This is one of the best science-fiction comedy stories that kids and adults alike love. Wall-E is a curious and adorable little robot that was made for compacting trash who works on a future, uninhabitable, deserted Earth. But his life changes, and he finds a new purpose as he meets Eve, a sleek robot girl. It stars the voices of Ben Burtt, Elissa Knight, Jeff Garlin, John Ratzenberger, Kathy Najimy, and Sigourney Weaver.

2. Up! (2009)

This sad and also heartwarming Pixar and Disney animated movie tells the story of elderly widower Carl Fredricksen (Asner), who decides to go on a journey to South America to fulfill a promise he made to his late wife, Ellie. While traveling by lifting his house with a ton of helium balloons, he's accompanied by a kid called Russell (Jordan Nagai) and meets a talking dog (Bob Peterson) and a giant bird who's being hunted by the explorer Charles Muntz (Cristopher Plummer).

1. Ratatouille (2007)

This is an extraordinary and heartwarming tale for all ages, with a spectacular animation that tells the story of the hilarious and cute rat Remy, who loves to cook and dreams of becoming a chef. This is how he ends up befriending the employee of one of the most exquisite restaurants in Paris and also helps the guy woo the girl he likes.
