The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
Cinematics doesn't compare to Rings', but excels it in subject.
There are some screen shots that take you right out of the movie and back into the reality of sitting in a theater with a few hundred people. There was one scene when the children and lion were atop a mountain looking beyond and the wilderness behind them looked as fictional as a Saturday Night Live background.
I wanted to feel removed from the theater, experiencing a story, as I had with the recent Potter (Goblet of Fire) movie. That said, NArnia's story is head and shoulders above Rings and Potter in subject. There could be no Potter or Rings story w/out the delineation of good and evil realized by Narnia's subject matter. Narnia predates Potter by decades, and its first installment of Narnia (Lion, Witch, Wardrobe) was published at least four years before Rings was first released.
Chicken Little (2005)
Chicken Little lives up to its name.
Ready for a lot of political correctness? Than you must watch Chicken Little. Good cartoons teach good lessons effortlessly. Usually, a good story develops as the main theme slowly moves into focus. Instead, this movie kept advertising itself during the movie. Watch it for your self. Here's the spoiler: the world is saved, not by Chicken Little, but because he can finally communicate openly with his dad- really? Here's why The Incredibles made money: it avoided political correctness (in fact being un-politically correct is the new "raw, edgy, straddles the line perfectly"), it respects real heroes (not accidental ones), it doesn't pander to the insignificant moviegoers, and it was cut well (Chicken Little's school life was wholly insignificant to the movie).
