Sure, there was the usual flurry of sequels and remakes, but there were also movies like Challengers and Anora . Fans of animation were treated to Inside Out 2, one of Pixar's best movies in years, as well as The Wild Robot, which took just about everybody by surprise. Horror fans were spoiled with Longlegs and Nosferatu.
