So many disney movies have such sad tragic scenes when you think about it...
I mean when pinocchio turns into a donkey and he gets locked into that cage - terrifying to youngters.
Shrek is #1 in my book.
Others in no particular order:
Mulan
Snow white
Pinocchio
Hoodwinked
Jungle book
Song of the south
Monsters Inc.
Wallace and Grommitt: attack of the wererabbit - all the Nick Park stuff is SO charming. I love them all.
HEAVY METAL
WIZARDS
WATERSHIP DOWN
LORD OF THE RINGS (Bakshi)
INCREDIBLES
SPIRITED AWAY (and most Studio Ghibli films)
JLA: THE NEW FRONTIER
JAMES & THE GIANT PEACH
THE DARK CRYSTAL
WATCHMEN DVD COMIC
Bambi
Felidae
Beowulf

Titan A.E.
Rock & Rule
Gay Purr-ee
Plague Dogs

Fire and Ice (1983)
My Neighbor Totoro
Dragons: Fire & Ice
Grave of the Fireflies
Howl's Moving Castle
The Flight of Dragons
The Secret of N.I.M.H.
Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Gandahar aka Light Years
The Weathering Continent
The Snow Queen (1957 Russia)
Lord of the Rings (Ralph Bakshi)
Starchaser: The Legend of Orin
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Vampire Hunter D (both versions)
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Pom Poko aka War of the Raccoons
Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Kaena: The Prophecy ~ I would like to see a subtitled version because the English-language doesn't seem to click.
Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists ~ If only this had better CGI animation, it could have been remarkable. There is a lot of imagination in the design of the undersea kingdom and its denizens.
The Princess and the Cobbler aka The Thief and the Cobbler aka Arabian Knight ~ There are several cuts/versions of this film, and I've never gotten to view each of them complete though I'd love to. This holds the record for the longest production schedule of a completed feature movie: 28 years! Actually, it's still considered incomplete, as there is a "cobbled together" one showing where scenes are to be inserted.
I don't care for most CGI animation, some of which is horribly ugly, and I'm not too fond of "new Disney", including "Aladdin" and "The Little Mermaid", though I love the old-style from when I was growing up in the Fifties and Sixties. The Japanese films I prefer subtitled because, so much of the time, the English voice-acting seems wrong, particularly Billy Crystal in "HMC".
Someone mentioned "The Dark Crystal", but that isn't animated. It's puppetry and costuming, a brilliant work that I was fortunate enough to see in the theater several times.

I have three favorites, and I can't choose which one I like best. I'll put them in the order I think they should be in, but if I were to watch #2 or #3 tonight, I might move either of them to #1.
1. Princess Mononoke
2. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
3. Spirited Away
After that it would be a close race between Grave of The Fireflies and Omohide poro poro.
My favorite animation movies are Shrek and Toy stories.
