Bringing back this thread not to add another western/sci-fi movie, but to instead bring up the probably controversial idea I had that Disney Pixar’s Cars movie is a modern animated western movie https://twitter.com/kneisguy/status/1353088853167529987">https://twitter.com/kneisguy/...

Another one that’s now less modern and still a non-traditional western is the Original Muppet movie, but this one is more obvious than Cars in my opinion. At least here Kermit is wearing a cowboy hat and there’s a sort of duel at the end

Another non-traditional movie I think is secretly a western is the original Spongebob Squarepants Movie. A lot of the hero’s journey is in it but that method works with a lot of movies anyway. I wanted to double check western tropes and I think it definitely matches the themes

The site I looked at to confirm the western themes is https://storygrid.com/western-genre/ 

Just">https://storygrid.com/western-g... match scenes in the movies I mentioned in this thread or the last one to see how well the movies or shows match with the western theme!
