|This horror-comedy film directed by feminist Elizabeth Banks is loosely based on an incident in 1985 involving a Georgia black bear and nearly 200 pounds of cocaine. While the bear in real-life died from an overdose, the bear in the movie lives and terrorizes people in the Chattahoochee National Forest in northern Georgia. On the one hand, there is plenty of swearing (even from the kids), blood, and drug use in this film. On the other hand, the movie also shows the damage drugs can do; the two main kid characters try a brick of cocaine but spit it out immediately. A sense of family is also upheld, as the single mother Sari is determined to find her lost pre-teen daughter in spite of being in the woods with a cocaine-riddled bear roaming around. Two drug-dealers also eventually decide to not carry out their boss's insane orders, the drug boss's son promising to be a better father to his son (he had left his son in the drug boss's care to drink over his dead wife, which his father and best friend call him out on).

|Based on the 1970 children's book of the same name by Roald Dahl, Wes Anderson's first animated film stars Mr. Fox - an anthropomorphic red fox who used to steal farm birds for a living - growing bored of the domestic life. He decides to get back into stealing birds with the help of a meek opossum named Kylie, but his attempt at one final heist brings three farmers - Boggis, Bunce, and Bean - to target Mr. Fox and his family, and he has to enlist the help of his friends and family to fight back against them. On one hand, the farmers appear to be capitalists since the store that the animals take food from belongs to the three of them (Roald Dahl had refused to put this in the book when he was alive, saying that it would be too easy of a solution for the animals, as well as concerned that it would teach kids to steal). Mr. Fox's son Ash is also said to be "different", possibly referencing being homosexual or transgender, with Beaver's son even mentioning that Ash dresses like a girl. The characters also swear, though being a PG movie, they replace these swear words with the word "cuss". On the other hand, while Wes Anderson's style of dysfunctional family shows up here, Mr. Fox ultimately loves his family and would do anything for them, even willing to sacrifice himself to save his nephew when he's captured by the farmers; he also fights his former partner-in-crime Rat to the death when the latter threatens his son and acts lecherous to his wife. Mr. Fox also deals with the consequences of his thieving ways and vows to make it up to everyone, showing that in spite of his arrogance, he wants to do right by those he's loyal to and admits that he had been in the wrong.
