Suicide Squad

This one isn't so child-friendly! So much so, that an on-set therapist was employed to help the actors deal with the dark and tormenting nature of the film.

Disney-Pixar's Finding Dory

Finding Dory was one of the most anticipated sequels of all time, after Finding Nemo stole our hearts in 2003. Did you know that the animators of the film all studied the psychology of adoption to understand how Dory would adjust to her new life and the mystery of her past.
