|A teenager named Max (whose family moved from Los Angeles to Salem, Massachusetts) ends up summoning three evil devil-worshipping witches, who plan on absorbing the life essence of all children until they are young, beautiful, and immortal. Max, his sister Dani, his love interest Allison, and an immortal human-turned-cat named Thackery Binx work together to stop the witches before the end of Halloween that night. The movie portrays family values like the love between siblings in a positive light, from Binx trying (but sadly failing) to save his sister from dying to Max drinking a deadly potion to draw the witches' attention away from Dani. Heaven is shown at the end of the movie when Binx reunites with his sister, and their spirits walk to Heaven together. A novelization/sequel of the movie was published in 2018.

The movie portrays family values like the love between siblings in a positive light, from Binx trying (but sadly failing) to save his sister from dying to Max drinking a deadly potion to draw the witches' attention away from Dani; Winifred in contrast (played by very liberal actress Bette Midler) callously doesn't do the same for her own sisters. Heaven is shown at the end of the movie when Binx reunites with his sister, and their spirits walk to Heaven together. A novelization/sequel of the movie was published in 2018.

|Exploiting the classic liberal trap of over analyzing. Illustrates the effective management of a business that treats people and animals as equals. Also includes jolly birds that encourage the main character, a baby elephant named Dumbo, to pull himself up by his bootstraps and learn to fly.

|This Disney film about a baby elephant with huge ears named Dumbo exploits the classic liberal trap of overanalyzing. It also illustrates the effective management of a business that treats people and animals as equals. Later in the film, a flock of jolly birds encourage Dumbo to pull himself up by his bootstraps and learn to fly. An anti-bullying message is also shown with the elephants in the circus cruelly laughing at Dumbo and later blaming him for getting his mother locked up, though Timothy Q. Mouse sticks up for Dumbo and scares the other elephants to help him out.
    
In March 2019, ''Dumbo'' gets a live-action remake directed by Tim Burton.

|Set in the fictional Japanese city Megasaki, Mayor Kobayashi issues a decree that all of the city's dogs, pet or stray, are to be quarantined and taken to Trash Island until a cure for "dog flu" comes around. The mayor's nephew and ward, Atari, heads over to the island to find his dog Spots and is befriended by five dogs (Chief, Rex, King, Boss, and Duke), who all decide to help him find Spots. Along the way, they discover that the mayor has hidden sinister motives behind banning all dogs from Megasaki. The movie condemns totalitarian rule and animal cruelty, the latter shown in the case of Kobayashi's anti-dog propaganda and Gondo's "cannibal" pack, who have been subjected to scientific experiments until an "act of God" rescued them. It also shows family and redemption in a positive light, for Mayor Kobayashi has taken Atari in after his parents were killed and decides to abandon his anti-dog plans once he sees how much Atari has gone through, even donating a kidney once the boy's remaining kidney fails.

In addition, the film proved to be a massive runaway hit despite having a completely new production team working on it due to then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg believing it to end up a flop due to it featuring "talking animals" while he thought the Worst Liberal Movie ''Pocahontas'', which he helmed with the usual production team, would be the financial hit and Oscar winner (in reality, ''Pocahontas'' got mixed reviews and did fairly badly at the box office).

The movie spawned two direct-to-video sequels and two TV series, as well as a broadway musical that retained much of the same themes as the movie. A photorealistic remake was released in July 2019, directed by Jon Favreau due to his success with the 2016 remake of ''The Jungle Book''.

|Kindhearted craftsman Geppetto wishes for his own son, so a blue fairy (resembling the Blessed Virgin Mary) grants his wish and brings one of his wooden puppets to life, promising that she will make him a real boy if he proves himself brave, truthful, and unselfish. As he tries to fit in with humans, the wooden boy is soon tricked and kidnapped by the evil puppet master Stromboli. Over the course of his journey of self-discovery, Pinocchio's morals, which his creator gave him, are tested, and he must escape being manipulated by the bad boys of the cursed Pleasure Island who have [[Hollywood values]] and, because of their actions, are turned into donkeys (which, coincidentally, is the mascot for the Democratic party). Finally, he altruistically saves Gepppetto from being trapped inside a whale and proves himself worthy to become a real boy.

|The movie showcases the consequences with the concept of playing God where the main antagonist Mewtwo, a clone, was shown to be disturbed at the revelation that he may have only been created to be the purposes of being a tool (with the message being more pronounced in the Japanese version due to religious censorship during dubbing). It also promotes the idea of self-worth and how the circumstances of one's birth don't matter so much as they try to push good, with Mewtwo ultimately being reformed upon learning this message. It also has an anti-cloning message, due to Mewtwo's aforementioned disturbance at his origins. A CGI remake of the film ''Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution'', was released in 2019, nearly two decades after its release in America.

|In a world where owls live in different kingdoms, young barn owl Soren grows up inspired by the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, knightly owls who perform noble deeds. One night, he and his brother Kludd are snatched away from home while practicing flying, taken to a facility that forces owlets to build a contraption for world domination for the Pure Ones. Escaping with an intelligent elf owl named Gylfie, Soren goes to find the Great Ga'Hoole tree (meeting friends like eccentric burrowing owl Digger and boisterous great gray owl Twilight) and warn its guardians of the danger awaiting their kingdom. Like the ''Guardians of Ga'Hoole'' books the movie is based on, the movie shows friendship and a story of [[good and evil]] in a positive light, where the Guardians fight for the security and freedom of their home and the other owl kingdoms against the tyranny of the Pure Ones (which are barn owl supremacists). It also condemns abandoning family, for Kludd is easily won over to the Pure Ones side due to falling for the High Tyto Metal Beak's queen, Nyra, abandoning Soren to be forced to work alongside the other brainwashed owlets while he becomes a soldier in their army. Another case is Kludd going so far as to kidnap his baby sister and brainwash her for Metal Beak's cause, both shown in a horrible light. However, the movie does suffer from rather weak storytelling.

While the old veteran owl Ezylryb believes that war is harsh and ugly (the books reveal that it's because his wife was killed in the line of duty during the War of the Ice Claws), he is later shown to valiantly fight alongside his fellow Guardians in battle. However, the movie does suffer from rather weak storytelling.
