I'm a pretty huge fan of The Road to El Dorado. I think its voice acting, script, and score are top notch - yet, it seems like it hardly ever gets any love.

When the wind blows, and The Plague Dogs.

The Rescuers Down Under is one of my all time favorite Disney-non musicals, and in the few interviews I've seen about it they've stated that Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind served as a huge

I've always liked Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. It is a very well-made and entertaining movie. It also spawned one of my favorite video games from when I was little.

Corpse Bride maybe. Didn't get the love that A nightmare before Christmas got, but still a great film.

Does anyone remember Batman: Mask of the Phantasm ?  I still contend that it is one of the greatest Batman movies ever made.  When I was a kid Batman The Animated Series was huge yet this movie bombed and I never got why.  This was not direct to video and yet when people discuss Batman films this movie never gets brought up.

I saw Final Fantasy: Spirits Within on crackle, it's not that bad, boring but at least they tried to come up with a narrative, can't say the same for Advent Children.

I think Road to El Dorado is one the best movies ever made, no joke.

@not_a_bumblebee:  I think because the animated is the same quality as the TV show, and the Phantasm is not a villain people know. It's a pretty solid film, but I think there are definitely episodes of the show that are far superior.

The Plague Dogs is one of my favorite animated films.

Felidae, an animated German film.  Excellent english dub.  Very graphic, much more so then Watership Down and Plague Dogs.  A surprisingly deep mystery noir story involving cats and ritualistic-esque murders.

I loved The Brave Little Toaster as a kid! The Worthless song is pretty kickass.

Not sure if this one is popular or not, but the animated adaption of George Orwell's Animal Farm is really good in my opinion. The animation isn't that great, but it has some real chilling moments. Sadly they changed the ending from the book to make it a bit friendlier for kids, but if you end it when the book ends, then you have a truly memorable ending! I recommend watching it, especially if you've read the book!

I'm also in the Road to El Dorado crowd as well as being able to appreciate Chicken Run.

The Black Cauldron

Quest For Camelot-I've never seen it but since I own a pile of old VHS tapes I've been seeing the trailer for it for over 10 years and still have not seen it.
