While I am thrilled that the studio decided to do something other than yet another sequel, 'The Secret Life of Pets' is a highly uneven movie. Considered to be a flop at the box office when it was released in 1999, 'The Iron Giant' has subsequently been branded a cult classic, attracting new audiences when it was re-released in 2015.'The Secret Life of Pets' is a very successful film from Universal, the same folks who brought us the 'Despicable Me' franchise. While not an on-screen character in 'The Iron Giant,' Superman is nonetheless thematically very important to the story, with Hogarth introducing his new friend to the comic book hero and helping him to see he could be just like him - culminating in the film's emotional and dramatic conclusion.

While tonally very different from 'DC League of Super-Pets,' there is a surprising connection between them, with both films sharing a fascination with a certain red-caped Kryptonian hero to some degree. While this side of the story is important, there's also an endearing story of friendship and how a young boy is able to see the good in the alien when others don't. Set during the Cold War, 'The Iron Giant' is rich in allegory and meaning, exploring the feeling of suspicion and distrust that existed at the time - particularly regarding something unexplainable that could also have the potential to be a weapon. The film proved to be a big box office hit, grossing more than $321 million worldwide.

Self-deprecating, meta, and very knowing of the superhero genre, 'Megamind' is an outrageous animated comedy that is bolstered by the superb voice acting from its cast - particularly Will Ferrell, who was born to play characters like this. We're used to seeing the good guys defeat the bad guys without much thought given to how this makes the bad guy feel, and 'Megamind' takes this premise and utilizes it to hilarious effect. Things take a turn when he tries to create a new hero to bring him down, but the newly christened Titan (Jonah Hill) decides it's much more fun to be the villain. No one is more surprised than Megamind (Will Ferrell) when he finally manages to defeat his nemesis, but without a hero to defeat him, he struggles to find his purpose in life. 'Megamind' takes us into the brilliant brain of the egotistical villain who has been defeated time and time again by dashing hero Metro Man (Brad Pitt). It might be aimed at younger audiences, but there's plenty of fun to be had here, and heroes rarely come cuter than this. Like any reputable hero, these pups come with their own catchphrases, cool vehicles and gadgets, and that crucial thirst for justice. While the team may have everyday jobs - including a police officer and a fire marshal - the PAW Patrol are basically superheroes and fans of 'DC League of Super-Pets' will find a lot to enjoy here. With the group's leader, Chase (Iain Armitage), facing a crisis of confidence, the gang recruits sassy dachshund Liberty (Marsai Martin) and pulls together to save the day. Released in 2021, 'PAW Patrol: The Movie' sees the squad heading to Adventure City to take down their biggest rival, the pompous Mayor Humdinger (Ron Pardo).

These plucky pups are big business, and since 2014 the franchise has generated more than $8 billion in retail sales (via Paramount Pictures), so it was only a matter of time before they made the leap onto the big screen.
