Out of that entire list, the only one I had heard of is The Wild Robot. Maybe the problem is marketing?

I’m going through my watch list of original films from 2024. It certainly doesn’t look like a quality problem.
The Substance, Cuckoo, A Real Pain, Heretic, The Piano Lesson, The Wild Robot (does being based on a book count?), Conclave, Here, Thelma, Your Monster, Oddity, Strange Darling, Hundreds of Beavers, Blink Twice, Rebel Ridge, Didi, Kinds of Kindness, Wildcat, In a Violent Nature, I Saw the TV Glow, Civil War, Sasquach Sunset, Love Lies Bleeding, Monkey Man, Riddle of Fire, Lisa Frankenstein, Orion and the Dark, and Drugstore June.

Yeah in my top ten list (of which only one I saw at home rather than in theaters), the only movies that were based on existing IP were Dune Part Two, The Wild Robot, and Godzilla Minus One.

All great mentions, but Hundreds of Beavers has been living in my head since I watched it, easily my favourite of 2024.

Yes, The Wild Robot is technically an IP owned by the author Peter Brown.
