If The Good Dinosaur hit the spot, these will too

A young hero's quest through breathtaking, dangerous natural wonder
The difference: Stop-motion myth and vengeance, not a quiet story about facing fear

A teen swept into a lush, miniature wilderness on an urgent quest
The difference: Shrunk-down forest-war fantasy, not a boy-and-friend survival trek

A journey through wild nature that reshapes who you thought you were
The difference: A transformation-and-guilt story, not a quiet friendship road trip

A young creature separated from home, forging bonds on a perilous trek
The difference: Owl-army war epic, not a gentle story about overcoming fear

Both land scale and whimsy at once

Warm and cozy in the same breath

A lost young soul finding an unlikely friend on an expansive journey
The difference: Dynastic legacy epic, not an intimate two-character survival story

Gentle old-school Disney animation about a child finding courage far from home
The difference: Flying-fantasy nostalgia, not an earthbound wilderness journey

Animation built on whimsy, twice over
The difference: Takes it somewhere less epic than The Good Dinosaur does

Adventure with a pulse of scale, in both cases
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Warm family, and it commits to that

Both lean on comfort more than on adventure
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft
