Films like The Summit of the Gods.

The Summit of the Gods (2021) reads as Neutral, kinetic, measured animation / adventure, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
