Has anyone mentioned Kung Fu Panda yet? I loved the first two, though the third isn’t as good.
A Monster In Paris–so charming.
I own a copy.
Gertie The Dinosaur. Just because.
Funny. There’s the short version of the ending which wraps up right after the main events with a closing summary by the Mariachi Owls, and then there’s a long version where we see all the townsfolk at a swimming hole and Rango rides off to save the day again with a rambling quasi-heroic speech and pose against the sunset.
ETA: Has anyone seen the “stitchpunk” film 9? It’s an odd one, but artfully done.
'Saw it in the theater, have the DVD, and a couple of songs from the soundtrack on my iPod. 
And, I can’t say if it qualifies under the pantheon of all-time greats, but…anyone else ever see Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart?
A musical, too…although a bit less “Menken and Ashman” and more “El Mariachi.”
I was gonna say Laika. Being stop-action, its output is small, but I’ve liked every one so far, and loved three.

After the credits Pickles and Gristle, Snatch’s two minions, are shown in an oddly philosophical discussion about the world and their place in it. As they do, the camera slowly draws back to reveal the set and fleeting glimpses of the puppeteer.
Personally I found Kubo to be the weakest storywise, although the visuals are absolutely beautiful. ParaNorman has a lot going on and a lot of blink-and-miss-it jokes (and admittedly some dead-horse-beaten-to-glue ones).
That was a very clever bit of film-making. Characters voiced by Tracy Morgan and Richard Ayoade, no less.
I love animated movies and am currently trying to finish all of the movies on Rotten Tomatoes’ List of 100 Best Animated Movies. There are a lot of great non-Disney movies in there. I have about 30 to go.
Some of my personal non-Disney favorites are Chicken Run, My Neighbor Totoro, Arthur Christmas, and Song of the Sea.
