That's all I can think of it for now..

The secret of NIMH No other movie has been so fascinating to me when I was a kid. I absolutely love this movie!!!
The next one might be Anastasia and the whole Charlie Brown series.

Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, The Secret of Nimh and An American Tail

BALTO- This is, without any doubt, my FAVORITE non-Disney animated movie!! Period. I loved it as a kid, and I'm still facinated by the story, characters, music...everything! (I personally rank it up there with the Disney Animated Classics. To me, it even supercedes some of the DAC's.)

Others that I also enjoyed were:
Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Wererabbit
Wallace and Gromit: 3 Amazing Adventures
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Charlie Brown Christmas
Anastasia

There might be others, but I THINK that's all...

-BB

The Iron Giant, my all time non-disney favorite. I also like Anastasia, Balto, and the Land Before Time

Princess Mononoke
Castle in the Sky
Spirited Away
Pom Poko
Porco Rosso
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Castle of Cagliostro
Howl's Moving Castle
Only Yesterday
Kiki's Delivery Service
Grave of the Fireflies
My Neighbor Totoro

Akira
Steamboy

Prince of Egypt
Anastasia
Thumbelina
Secret of Nimh
The Land Before Time
An American Tale
An American Tale: Fivel Goes West

So basically I like most of the other non-Disney 2-d animated films. Some others I don't like nor disklike, just indifferent to.

Any and every Charlie Brown special
Kiki's Delivery Service

The Prince of Egypt
Howl's Moving Castle
Anastasia
My Neighbor Totoro
The Chipmunk Adventure
Thumbelina
Charlotte's Web

Some of my personal faves include Chicken Run, Wallace and Gromit- The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Anastacia, The Swan Princess, A Dinosaur Story, Bartok the Magnificent, The Polar Express, The Land Before Time- the first six I can handle. Beyond that it's ridiculous-, The Road to Eldorado, Balto, All Dogs Go To Heaven, An American Tail, The Prince of Egypt (I've only half-watched it) and Thumbelina. I want to see Titan A.E, Sinbad, The Iron Giant, The Pebble and the Penguin, The King and I, Babar- the movie, The Thief and the Cobbler, and The Corpse Bride.

You missed the point of this thread more than any other person - it is two-D (2-D) not three-D CGI movies which all of the above are. Same with Wallace & Gromit, and Chicken Run, they are Stop-motion animation not 2-D.

Some of my non-Disney 2-D movies are:

Cats Don't Dance
Anastasia
Balto
The Iron Giant
An American Tale
Feivel Goes West
Rock-A-Doodle
and my all-time favorite Secret of N.I.M.H.

An American Tale
How The Grinch Stole Christmas
The Land Before Time (the original, not the latest one... what number are they on now, like 26?!? )
All Dogs Go To Heaven

It seems we're not including shorts here?

As for non-Disney 2D "traditionally animated" features, there aren't really many at all that I could consider for the title "favourite". But "An American Tail" did make quite an impression when it came out, and in later years I thought "Anastasia" looked very promising.

The Last Unicorn
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
Titan A.E.
Secret of NIMH
Land Before Time
Anastasia
Ferngully: The Last Rainforest
Princess Mononoke
Ringing Bell
Unico (both of the American released ones)
Snoopy Come Home
The Iron Giant
Charlotte's Web
Watership Down
Plague Dogs
The Prince of Egypt
Rikki Tikki Tavi
Mowgli's Brothers
The White Seal
My Little Pony: The Movie
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Balto
The Phantom Tollbooth
The Elm-Chanted Forest

Probably "The Chipmunk Adventure," but I'm in a rush to get some work done and hit the sack, so I'm not thinking on it too hard.

Off the top of my head, some other highly regarded faves, in no particular order (focussing on 2D feature films, and there are still some famous ones I haven't seen, or haven't seen in a long time, so I won't even consider them):

the Care Bears movies (1 and 2)
Heavy Metal
American Pop
Anastasia
Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolf Man
Vampire Hunter D
Ferngully
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
The Batman/Superman Movie
Secret of NIMH
The Sailor Moon movies
Kiki's Delivery Service
Iron Giant
Prince of Egypt
Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure
Charlotte's Web
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Road to El Dorado
Land Before Time
Balto
Grave of the Fireflies

Shocker! I have yet to see "An American Tale," though I have a big plush Fievel, and Fievel Goes West was good!

And, I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

You've seen both of those films?
If so, YAY!
I thought I was the only one who loved both of those films. But now, I'm happy that you enjoyed both of them. Both of those films are really good!
