Necessities

Toy Story because it was the first full-feature computer animated movie and the story is so good.

Well I believe these will be the ones that would be needed to be added if your going to create quite a collection

Toy Story first computer animated movie
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves First full length animated movie
The Polar Express first animated movie to use motion capture
Fritz the cat the first one to get a X rating according to Wikepida, not too sure if it is also the first one to get rated r
The Black Calderon First Disney animated movie and only one before 2000 to get a PG rating


Not really sure what the first animated movie that came out not from either Walt Disney and his animators or the company after his death. Not also again fro sure what was the first animated movie to be either made and released in 3D or converted later. Also not really sure of the first animated movie to feature a celebrity movie actor or actress that did a voice in animated movie, besides say a professional voice actor.

These are recommendations. Anything considered a necessity is subjective.

Silent era: The Adventures of Prince Achmed

Golden Age: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Bambi

Silver Age: Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book, Watership Down, The Secret of NIMH

Contemporary era: Grave of the Fireflies, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Akira, The Little Mermaid to The Lion King, Toy Story trilogy and pretty much anything Pixar, The Prince of Egypt, Spirited Away, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, Waltz with Bashir, The Wind Rises

Richard Williams's The Thief and the Cobbler (in its latest Recobbled Cut) is also a must-see, but it's not been given an official release.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves First full length animated movie

Actually, El apóstol (1917) was the first full-length animated film. Snow White was just the first full-length animated film produced in the United States.

Well, Robin Hood was the first animated feature to not have had any involvement from Walt prior to his death.

The first animated feature not to have any involvement from the Nine Old Men and the lesser-known animators of their generation (Dick Lucas, Hal King, Walt Stanchfield, etc.) was likely The Little Mermaid.

The Black Cauldron had involvement from Milt Kahl, who was brought out of retirement to do the final character designs although he didn't animated anything for the film. Great Mouse Detective had Stanchfield serving as a coordinating animator and Eric Larson as an animation consultant. It depends on how you define it.

Not also again fro sure what was the first animated movie to be either made and released in 3D or converted later.

The Polar Express

Also not really sure of the first animated movie to feature a celebrity movie actor or actress that did a voice in animated movie, besides say a professional voice actor.

Cliff Edwards was rather well-known in his day as a popular recording artist so in my humblest opinion, Pinocchio is the first animated film to have a celebrity doing a voice-over.

I was talking about that I don't know what the first animated movie in the Unite States if you want me say where, that is not from Disney or the company Disney.

The first non-Disney animated movie produced in the United States was Gulliver's Travels (1939), by the Fleischer Studios.
