- DirectorRichard RichStarsJack PalanceHoward McGillinMichelle NicastroA power-hungry sorcerer curses a princess to live as a swan by day in this tale of everlasting love.I've always loved this animated flick growing up as a kid.

- DirectorBrian NissenRichard RichStarsShawn HoffmanBelinda MontgomeryRay PorterIn the time of the Pilgrims, a scarecrow who comes to life as long as he wears a feather in his cap endeavors--with the help of an enchanted broomstick and a wisecracking mouse--to rescue a sweet, noble girl and three other orphans from an evil villain.This film is really really underrated and its a crying shame. No one has this on their movie list. The animation is nice,and yes although its Disney knock off I still love this movie.If you haven't seen it then check it out.
- DirectorDon BluthGary GoldmanStarsMeg RyanJohn CusackChristopher LloydThe last surviving child of the Russian Royal Family joins two con men to reunite with her grandmother, the Dowager Empress, while the undead Rasputin seeks her death.Before Tangled there was Anastasia a charming fairytale with a great cast and great animation. Story was also very good.

The story is brilliant,the music is fantastic and the animation is beautiful
- DirectorBrenda ChapmanSteve HicknerSimon WellsStarsVal KilmerRalph FiennesMichelle PfeifferEgyptian Prince Moses learns of his identity as a Hebrew and his destiny to become the chosen deliverer of his people.One of the greatest animated movies ever made.

- DirectorTony BancroftBarry CookStarsMing-Na WenEddie MurphyBD WongTo save her father from death in the army, a young maiden secretly goes in his place and becomes one of China's greatest heroines in the process.Getting a remake in 2020 this one based on true events was really good. Eddie Murphy steals the whole film
- DirectorRon ClementsJohn MuskerStarsTate DonovanSusan EganJames WoodsThe son of Zeus and Hera is stripped of his immortality as an infant and must become a true hero in order to reclaim it.Yes its not the best film ever but still I do enjoy it for what it is.

He has to work through obstacles from classic books to return to real-life.Ok so I sorta cheated on this one as its half animated and live action. Having not seen it in years all I remember is Maculay Culkin was in it and Whoppi Goldberg and Christopher Lyod were in it.
- DirectorKevin LimaStarsBill FarmerJason MarsdenJim CummingsWhen Max makes a preposterous promise to a girl he has a crush on, his chances to fulfilling it seem hopeless when he is dragged onto a cross-country trip with his embarrassing father, Goofy.A really underrated film.

Animation is nice and Jodi Benson is in this as the title charchter
- DirectorAaron BlaiseRobert WalkerStarsJoaquin PhoenixJeremy SuarezRick MoranisWhen a young Inuit hunter needlessly kills a bear, he is magically changed into a bear himself as punishment with a talkative cub being his only guide to changing back.Phil Collins teams up with Disney again and boy was this a great film.
