Sky High would be very doable -- and I certainly enjoyed the movie when I saw it. (There's a Tim Allen film I just spotted in Blockbuster which seems to be much more like Doug's various impromptu train-the-young-supers things; looks straight-to-video, and I can't remember the title.)
Terabithia, as someone else has already noted, is not what the trailers imply -- they are lying through their teeth. The fantasy world is just that -- a fantasy, something the two kids make up to amuse themselves, as an unusual subcurrent in a plot that's a whole lot more like My Girl than Narnia. (And yes, I know it's not a My Girl clone; I'm just picking something with a similar emotional tenor.)
Dark Crystal has potential, but sending Doug to The Last Starfighter would really ruin the story, I think.
Tron and Reboot have been discussed to death elsewhere as I recall.
I don't know the Wrede book.
He-Man? Um, sorry, no, I'll pass. I cringe just getting near the property.
If you all want an idea, here's one, based on the movie I saw last night with Peggy:
Drop Doug into The Bourne Ultimatum.
