In no particulair order (just the order in which I remember them):
Anastasia: a young princess from a Russian family which had been destroyed by rebels must reclaim her own heritage.
Mulan: a young Chinese girl decides to take her father's place in a war against the Mongols. She is accompanied by a dim-witted dragon (Eddie Murphy). Watching her progress during the training sessions of the movie is pretty good. It's nice to see a movie in the vein of "Just One of the Guys"* but done in a fairly serious manner. Her fellow soldiers treat her as one of their own for the most part until they find out her secret.
Lilo & Stitch: This is the second traditional 2D animated Disney movie I have seen. All of the people are really strangely drawn... I'm not sure if Hawaiins have these sort of proportions. Lilo is a young girl raised by her older sister after her parents had been killed in a car crash. Lilo is at first very shy around people. She would rather look at them from behind the lens of her camera. Then she meets the raucous alien Stitch.
Boundin': This was a short film which aired right before the crappy feature film "Shrek 2". Boundin' is about a sheep who can dance. He becomes depressed after being sheered. A friendly Jackalope comes by and teaches to be happy with his predicament. Seriously, I'm not sure if this is availble on the Shrek 2 DVD, but if it is, just rent that horrible movie to see this short. (3D Pixar animation.)
Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. This was released on VHS at one time. It might also be on DVD. But I do know a censored version was playable as special feature on the "Street Figher Anniversary Collection" for PS2. Trust me, this movie, as the title implies, is fully animated. Every char has their basic characterization from the game series just about intact. If you've seen the live-action SF movie, then definitely check this out. (I realze this is an anime movie... sorry for listing it here if it's the wrong place.)
Allow me to mention another anime film: Roujin Z. This is a film that analyzes how the elderly are treated by their families. If you could just put your granpa or granma (who is very, very old & feeble) in a self-contained bed that takes care of their every need, would you?
An American Tale: "In America, there are no cats." This is a legendary movie that probably everyone has seen. I remember seeing it when I was six and just crying when Fievel was seperated from his family for the first time. I wish more movies paid respect to immigrants.
Honorable mentions: movies with live-action & animation.... Roger Rabbit... Cool World... Monkey Bone...
* More comtemporary is the film "She's The Man."

Awesome kiddie flick. Can't believe I forgot Iron Giant though. I'd also like to bring up "The Halloween Tree" which scared the **** out of me as a kid.
