Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse



The second animated Spider-Man film gives greater focus, especially initially, to Spider-Woman (or Spider-Gwen) in her respective universe, where she mourns the death of her reality's version of Peter Parker, who had transformed into the Lizard. In his universe, Miles Morales confronts the villain Spot and encounters an interdimensional organization comprised of countless versions of the web-slinging hero. The various visual styles are trippy, and it does have some commentary about keeping secrets from family, with a good balance of humor and seriousness.

The Mitchells vs. the Machines



Follows the dysfunctional Mitchell family as they go on a road trip to take daughter Katie to an art school, during which along the way they attempt to quell a robot uprising, sort of a comical take on franchises such as Terminator. Definitely enjoyable and genuinely funny, and very much warranted its Best Animated Feature Oscar nomination.
