    If you're going to list Fantasia...

    You should at least give a shout out to the excellent non-mouse alternative "Allegro Non Tropo". The evolution sequence set to Bolero is fabulous. The live action slapstick between the animation sequences are witty and lampoon Disney. I don't recall any scenes scarier than "Night on Bald Mountain", but it is more mature in theme. As befits an Italian movie there are religious references and it certainly casts a jaundiced eye on humanity. Okay maybe it's for tweens and above.

    In the European animation vein there is "The Triplets of Belleville". Mobsters, music, and the Tour de France.

    Certainly anything by Nick Park - especially "The Wrong Trousers".

    Oh, what about "Holes"?
