Movies that feel likeSky High (2005)

Set in a world where superheroes are commonly known and accepted, young Will Stronghold, the son of the Commander and Jetstream, tries to find a balance between being a normal teenager and an extraordinary being.

If you loved Sky High, the closest films we have are Stuart Little 2 (2002), Where Am I Going? (2016) and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004). All three share Sky High's epic and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Muppet Movie (1979).
