The biggest fantasy action movie of 2025 finally drops on Netflix one year after its historic theatrical run. Netflix currently features an incredible selection of high-quality fantasy movies that capture everything from whimsical family adventures to action-packed spectacle. Netflix’s record-breaking animated phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters leads the charge, but audiences seeking a more grounded, high-concept story can stream Wes Anderson's Oscar-winning short film The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, which uses an immaculate storybook aesthetic. For viewers looking for a heartwarming family dynamic, Swapped offers a beautifully animated, Abbey Road-scored body-swap comedy about two natural forest enemies who must work together to reverse a magical spell. The best fantasy action movies of 2025 delivered an array of massive blockbusters. The worldwide box office witnessed a historic achievement with the release of Ne Zha 2, a visually breathtaking mythological epic that heavily utilizes Taoist lore and stunning martial arts sequences to become the highest-grossing animated movie of all time. Fans of live-action blockbusters were treated to Dean DeBlois' reimagining of How to Train Your Dragon, which effectively blended practical dragon puppetry and top-tier CGI, and James Cameron pushed VFX even further with Avatar: Fire and Ash. Ne Zha 2 wasn't the only animated movie to shake the global box office to the core.
