Movies that feel likeMonster Hunt (2015)

Young monster kids try to make peace between the world of humans and the world of the monsters.

If you loved Monster Hunt, the closest films we have are Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (2013), A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (2014) and Jungle Cruise (2021). All three share Monster Hunt's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Songs from the Second Floor (2000).
