What is your favorite animal movie of all time ?

Sometimes, there are movies that touch our hearts, even as an adult. One of my all-time favorites is another Walt Disney classic, Old Yeller. It is about a boy and his wonderful dog, who (sadly) gets rabies and has to be put down at the end of the movie.
Another one that I really loved; but with a much happier ending, was "The Black Stallion" , which is made from the Black Stallion series of books by Walter Farley.

"Turner and Hootch", about a Mastiff whose owner is murdered, is also one that I have enjoyed wating over and over.
What are some other favorite moves about animals ?

All of your favorites are classic's that I think every child (and adult) should watch. Of course, you are right, Old Yeller, will bring tears to most people. I have quite a few favorites. I just watched Lassie come home (again) a couple of months ago on TMC. This is similar to Black Stallion because it has a happy ending! I absolutely loved the TV series about Flipper. I remember when I was young, we went to where this show was filmed. I thought it was so magical. I could go on and on with favorites. lol Still I would be remiss, if I did not mention Charlotte's Web. I think what resonates with me about all of these movies or TV shows is how the relationship between animals and people are portrayed. Animals are not treated as merely objects or pets, but there is a real significant connection.
