Movies that feel likeBoruto: Naruto the Movie (2015)

The spirited Boruto Uzumaki, son of Seventh Hokage Naruto, is a skilled ninja who possesses the same brashness and passion his father once had. However, the constant absence of his father, who is busy with his Hokage duties, puts a damper on Boruto's fire. He ends up meeting his father's friend Sasuke, and requests to become... his apprentice!? The curtain on the story of the new generation rises!

If you loved Boruto: Naruto the Movie, the closest films we have are Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (2013), The Legend of Hei (2019) and Checkered Ninja (2018). All three share Boruto: Naruto the Movie's epic and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
