Movies that feel likeMegamind (2010)

After Megamind, a highly intelligent alien supervillain, defeats his long-time nemesis Metro Man, Megamind creates a new hero to fight, but must act to save the city when his "creation" becomes an even worse villain than he was.

If you loved Megamind, the closest films we have are Koi... Mil Gaya (2003), Despicable Me 2 (2013) and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024). All three share Megamind's warm and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Safety Not Guaranteed (2012).
