Who is it for?

Watch it on an evening with teens, or solo when you want something weird and emotionally raw. If you liked Spirited Away or How to Train Your Dragon, you've got that same girl-and-magical-creature bond here, just with way more modern corporate absurdity mixed in. Safe-ish for older kids, but the smuggling sequences and corporate brutality hit harder than typical family fare — really for 14+.

If Okja got you with how it blends adventure with the emotional bond between a girl and a fantastical creature, plus the critique of corporate power, you should check out Beasts of the Southern Wild — it's about a girl and her father caught in a world falling apart, full of magic and raw reality. Similarly, Raya and the Last Dragon pairs the hero's personal connection to an animal companion with a larger mission to save the world, but does it without the mainstream fanfare. And if you dig the visual weirdness and strange logic of Okja's world, Colossal — about a woman who somehow controls a giant monster — has that same offbeat, quietly ambitious vibe.
