5. America: The Motion Picture (2021)
Directed by Matt Thompson, ‘America: The Motion Picture’ is an animated parody of George Washington and his fight against the British for American independence. In this revisionist history filled with anachronisms, George Washington wields a chainsaw and assembles a team of rabble-rousing misfits to fight alongside him. They include a beer-loving Samuel Adams, scientist Thomas Edison, horseman Paul Revere, and native American hunter Geronimo. Channing Tatum lends his voice to the lead character of George. Enjoy the film on Netflix.
4. Smallfoot (2018)
‘Smallfoot’ is an animated movie that twists the perspective on the legend of the Yetis, mythical humanoid creatures said to live in the Himalayan mountain range. Told from the POV of the Yetis, the movie follows a young Yeti named Migo (Tatum) who spots a human, AKA “smallfoot,” an entity the yetis believe to be mythical. After being ignored by his village, he sets off to find the human, Percy (James Corden), a documentary filmmaker who is also looking for a way to gain viewers. As expected, Percy doesn’t perceive Migo as friendly, forcing the latter to bring him to the mountains, where the smallfoot begins to bond with the Yeti. Unfortunately, Yeti chief Stonekeeper (Common) believes humans cannot be trusted and urges the village to get rid of Percy. It is up to Migo to protect Percy and for Percy to ensure that the Yetis aren’t harmed by the humans. Directed by Karey Kirkpatrick, ‘Smallfoot’ is a musical animated flick. It can be streamed here.
