Oddly enough, The Full Monty (1997) is a movie about down-on-their-luck steelworkers in the UK in the 90s turning to stripping to pay the bills, and it’s a really family friendly and heartwarming comedy.

Ponyo (2008) - both by Studio Ghibli, they made more great movies but not all are wholesome

Monsters, Inc. (2001)

How to train your dragon (2010)
