| | |Based on the book of the same name, the sequel to ''A Dog's Purpose'' continues Bailey's story as he makes a vow to protect his owner Ethan's step-granddaughter, CJ. This heartwarming movie promotes bonds of family and condemns abuse, the latter shown with CJ's emotionally abusive mother Gloria. Redemption is also positively portrayed, for Gloria comes to genuinely regret mistreating CJ and reconciles with her, even willing to be kind to Bailey/Max (when she had previously hated dogs). The movie also teaches about loyalty, when Bailey stays loyal to Ethan and CJ until the former's death. | | |Based on the book of the same name, the sequel to ''A Dog's Purpose'' continues Bailey's story as he makes a vow to protect his owner Ethan's step-granddaughter, CJ.

| | |Set in 1960s London, England, a Dalmatian couple named Pongo and Perdita welcome their fifteen puppies into the world. When the fur-obsessed Cruella De Vil and her henchmen steal the puppies, the Dalmatians cross the English countryside to get them back. The movie portray the importance of family positively in the form of Pongo and Perdita stopping at nothing until they rescue their puppies; they also adopt the other eighty-four puppies Cruella had bought to turn into fur coats, which shows family by adoption in a positive light. Marriage is also shown in a positive light in the form of a Christian wedding ceremony for the dogs' owners and the dogs themselves as well. It also positively portrays heroism in the forms of several animals (including Sergeant Tibbs the cat, Colonel the sheepdog, and Captain the horse) assisting the Dalmatians in finding their puppies and helping them all get home. A live-action remake was released in 1996. | | |Set in 1960s London, England, a Dalmatian couple named Pongo and Perdita welcome their fifteen puppies into the world.

| | |A clan of lemurs living on a tropical island finds an egg and raises a baby dinosaur from that egg: an ''Iguanodon'' named Aladar. When their island home is destroyed by a meteor shower years later, Aladar and four remaining lemurs join a herd of migrating dinosaurs on their way to their nesting grounds, all while predators lurk behind them. The movie portrays family - both by blood and adoption - very well, shown when the lemurs adopt and raise Aladar while he protects them in return. Even Kron - the herd's stubborn leader - and his sister Neera share a bond; Kron never acts harsh towards Neera, and Neera tries (but unfortunately fails) to save Kron from a ''Carnotaurus''. Aladar is also shown to be against [[Social Darwinism]], opposing Kron's strict belief that the old and weak should be left behind and helping the oldest dinosaurs in the herd keep up; his beliefs are also what gets Neera to like him, after watching him helping Eema the elderly ''Styracosaurus'' and two orphaned ''Iguanodons'' get some water. Redemption is also positively shown when Bruton - second-in-command to Kron - sacrifices himself to save the stragglers of the herd by bringing the cave down onto himself and a predator. | | |A clan of lemurs living on a tropical island finds an egg and raises a baby dinosaur from that egg: an ''Iguanodon'' named Aladar.

| | |Set in the fictional Japanese city Megasaki, Mayor Kobayashi issues a decree that all of the city's dogs - whether they're pets or strays - 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. Totalitarian rule is rightfully condemned, with Mayor Kobayashi arranging for the death of a scientist when said man finds a cure for dog flu. The movie also condemns animal cruelty, as 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. | | |Set in the fictional Japanese city Megasaki, Mayor Kobayashi issues a decree that all of the city's dogs - whether they're pets or strays - are to be quarantined and taken to Trash Island until a cure for "dog flu" comes around.

| | |In Ice Age Alaska, an Inuit teenager named Kenai kills a bear out of revenge, believing that it caused the death of his oldest brother Sitka. The spirits that his people worship are displeased and turn him into a bear, and he has to journey to a magic mountain to change back, bonding with a bear cub named Koda along the way. Family and friendship values are promoted in this movie in many years. One example is with Kenai and his brothers; they may argue and fool around, but they ultimately care for each other. Kenai also comes to care for the bear cub Koda, even willing to stay as a bear at the end of the movie to be with Koda. Even Rutt and Tuke - the comic-relief moose brothers - ultimately love each other, no matter how much they rattle each other's antlers. Revenge is rightly frowned upon, with Kenai's surviving brother Denahi warning him against killing the bear in revenge; when Kenai finds out later that the bear he killed was Koda's mother, he feels genuine remorse for his actions and soon after admits to Koda what he had done. Unfortunately, the movie is critically panned and was the fourth-to-last traditionally animated Disney film, though the movie (and to a lesser extent, its 2006 sequel) still has a place in the hearts of its audience. | | |In Ice Age Alaska, an Inuit teenager named Kenai kills a bear out of revenge, believing that it caused the death of his oldest brother Sitka.

| | |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. 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. | | |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.

| | |This photorealistic CGI remake of the 1994 film ''The Lion King'' - directed by the same director as 2016's ''The Jungle Book'' - contains the same messages as the original film, from faith and heroism to honoring one's father. Totalitarian rule is shown as negative in the form of Scar, who makes an alliance with the hyenas to take over the Pride Lands and overhunts alongside them (which is also a condemnation of poaching); this sets him up as an opposite to Mufasa when the latter earlier says, "While others search for what they can take, a true king searches for what he can give." Similarly, the movie expands upon the overhunting element from the original movie by revealing it had been done deliberately on Scar's orders, both to cull the numbers to ensure he remained on top as well as out of spite for Sarabi refusing to be his queen, showcasing even more blatantly the negatives of megalomania and such being etched into totalitarian ideologies such as Communism. Hakuna Matata is also a lot more nihilistic in this remake, Timon and Pumbaa explaining how life is a "meaningless line of indifference", until Simba finally manages to shake it off and take responsibility. That being said, the movie suffers from flaws like faces not being expressive enough to several important parts of the original being removed. A sequel is currently in the works. | | |This photorealistic CGI remake of the 1994 film ''The Lion King'' - directed by the same director as 2016's ''The Jungle Book'' - contains the same messages as the original film, from faith and heroism to honoring one's father.
