"Ron's Gone Wrong" is the newest movie on this list, and its story is far too thoughtful to be ignored. In addition to being a big-hearted and funny film, this 2022 animated movie also serves up some wise commentary on the ways in which technology and social media can at times be isolating. When middle-schooler Barney receives a B-bot from his dad, he's excited that he can finally be like all of his classmates. But his excitement is short-lived when he discovers his B-bot, Ron, is broken and must be taught how to be a friend before he can help Barney make any human friends of his own. Along the way, Barney realizes that his broken B-bot without access to the internet can teach him far more than the functioning ones his peers can't stand to be away from ever could.
