On the other side of things, there is the Disney family comedy Sky High. Even if the idea of the House of Mouse tackling superheroes puts you off (though it really shouldn’t as Disney own Marvel Studios, remember), you should still give it a go as this is a surprisingly clever and fun.

Sky High focuses on Will Stronghold, the son of the world’s greatest heroes (played by Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston), as he attends the superhero school, Sky High. However, he struggles to live up to his parents’ name when it looks like he doesn’t have any superpowers of his own.

Similar to Megamind, Sky High is an entertaining play on superhero clichés and tropes, with its tongue firmly in its cheek. It may not appeal to the more hardcore superhero fans out there, but we think you should still give it a watch.

Plus, watch out for some superhero fan-pleasing cameos, such as Spider-Man’s Bruce Campbell as a gym teacher and Wonder Woman herself Lynda Carter as the school principal.
