The Incredibles. Still the best thing ever to come out of Pixar - sharp writing and characterisation, added to every trick in the CGA book.
Spirited Away. Like all Miyazaki films, a bona-fide work of art.
Akira. Started a ball rolling that's still going strong today.
PS. Would it be contentious to suggest Star Wars: Episode III? 100% CG backgrounds with wood puppet performances - a double-whammy of animation!

Animated Joy =
Princess Mononoke - Everybody knows why this one is cool... I'll just leave it at that
Vampire Hunter D - I'm suprised no one has mentioned this one (I might be wrong... I just sort of scanned) this has great action scenes... great music... the tempo of this movie never drags.
Titan A.E.- As said before... not because of Joss... Hey I didn't even know this movie was written by him 'til yesterday... It's just an awesome job of mixing CGI and Animation together and it has a great story to go along with it.
Nightmare Before Christmas - Another movie I'm suprised no one mentioned... (still like I said... I just scanned) but I love the visual style of said movie it's so twisted... it's a movie I grew up with.
Ghost in the Shell - Not going into details as people pretty much have this one wrapped up as well
"Classic" Disney Films - I'm grouping all of these together because frankly this list would be much longer. They've all made a great impact on me. I think I've seen almost every disney film to date. There might be a few I'm missing but that's not much
The Dark Crystal - Only seen it about 2 times in my life... but I can never forget it... it's that memorable. The Jim Henson company outdid themselves in this one so much... that it it too has a semi-cult following to it as well.
Memories - I highly Recommend that people check this out. Three Animated stories for the price of one... something everybody should like. Three very different stories and animation styles... It may not have the Run and Gun feel that people do crave for... but the stories are cool.
The Animatrix - Not saying much... Just other than I liked the different visual styles from the "Last Flight of the Osiris" to "The Second Renaissance"
The Coyboy Bebop Movie - I don't know what it is about this movie... it just rules.
Steamboy - I liked this movie... most people around me either fell asleep or just didn't like it that much... but I thought it was cool.

I have to agree that Fantasia is a masterpiece of a movie, but my favourite for purely great animation has to be Disney's "Pinochio". Disney studios at their peak.
Also, anything by the Wallace and Gromit crowd, including "Chicken Run", but alot of that may be due to the homage paid to "The Great Escape"
I must be older too...
I loved the 'Chicken Run' for the same reason,
my favorite Disney are the earliest ones:
Snow White
Pinochio
My favorite Miyazaki are his later ones:
Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle
and I love:
South Park Bigger Better and Uncut

You're all naming good movies . sleeping beauty, fantasia, robin hood and others are all great. However, noone has mentioned the great and fantastic:
"Sword and the Stone" hickety, pockety, wackety, whack..... blow me to bermuda!
Terribly whitty and amusing. All though, very off.
