The animations and jokes in the Wild Ancestors characteristic of Aardman Animations are likely to appeal to adults more than children. However, this is an ideal picture to go to it with your daughter or teenage son.
5. Madagascar 4

It is also known that after the events of the first part, the family of superheroes moved to a much more beautiful house built near a dense forest. And the Incredibles still does not know about Jack Jack's superpowers, so they will again be his little secret, as in the first film.
