The Lion King (1994)

As far as animation goes, there is quite clearly better made films out there. Even Disney has done better and earlier. But when it comes to blending animation with music and keeping those musical portions part of a whole cohesive story, there aren't many on par with this. 

The story seems kind of limited. Dad dies, son lives, gets revenge, becomes number one. It's been seen before, but the surrounding elements are what sets this apart. The animals are unique and based on their real life partners. The story keeps on moving, barely faltering and it always looks and sounds great.
