Incredibles comes out on Blu next spring - great movie!!!

I also second Kung Fu Panda - very funny and has great action and the animation is top notch! And, if your kids like it, you can take them to see Kung Fu Panda 2 coming out this summer.

#1) Ratatouille (you will be blown away)
#2) Wall-E (on of must have titles on blu ray, a masterpiece)
#3) Kung Fu Panda (incredibly enjoyable film, I havent yet seen a person who didnt absolutely love it, you will laugh to death)

For your doughter
#4) Beauty and The Beast (IMO best animation with best PQ/AQ available on blu ray, beats Princess And The Frog by a mile, both you and your doughter will absolutely enjoy it)

Agree with all of the above plus . . .

Bolt
How to train your Dragon.

DVD
The Lion King
Aladdin
A Bugs Life

My top three would not be good for kids. And it's likely that any three popular movies I name will already be mentioned by everyone else.

Instead, I'll reccomend these three unconventional films:

"Castle in the Sky." It's an anime, but it's on a level similar to a classic Disney film, and is family-friendly. Very adventurous, upbeat, fantastic, and fun. And I always felt it's a wonderful imaginative story.

"The Secret of Kells." An excellent play on Celtic myth and culture, with a pretty decent story and stylish animation.

"Dragon Hunters." Very imaginative and stylish, with lots of incredible imagery. A short and fun flick.

It don't get much better than UP.

[Secretagentnumber6]

Spirited Away

In my opinion the greatest animated film ever made. I do not think I am alone in this opinion.

[Clark Kent]

Get Astro Boy, it looks and sounds awesome on Blu-ray while being an entertaining movie.

[jmb1381]

I"d go with:

The Wallace & Gromit Collection
Madagascar 1&2
Horton Hears a Who

Everything else everybody has mentioned is great too

[nolfoc]

A Charlie Brown Christmas
Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas
How To Train Your Dragon
Its The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Toy Story 1
Toy Story 2
Toy Story 3

and when they hit BD Finding Nemo and The Incredibles

How to Train Your Dragon really surprised me. Excellent film. Highly Recommended.

Then I'm wagering you haven't seen Snow White, Sleeping Beauty (if you can find it), Pinocchio or Fantasia in the past memory lately.

(Are we still in 2008 mode, that we're only recommending CGI movies?...Snap out of it, people! )
