Movies that feel likePan (2015)

Living a bleak existence at a London orphanage, 12-year-old Peter finds himself whisked away to the fantastical world of Neverland. Adventure awaits as he meets new friend James Hook and the warrior Tiger Lily. They must band together to save Neverland from the ruthless pirate Blackbeard. Along the way, the rebellious and mischievous boy discovers his true destiny, becoming the hero forever known as Peter Pan.

If you loved Pan, the closest films we have are How to Train Your Dragon (2025), The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) and Peter Pan (2003). All three share Pan's dreamlike and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958).
