If you have kids the TV show is decent as well. Not great, but they have most of the voice cast from the movie show up in the same parts.

Watch "Mary and Max" if you haven't already. A stunning Australian animated film (beautiful claymation) with a wonderful performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman. Though I guess that probably wouldn't count as a "kids' movie".
Yeah I've seen it and like it a lot. But yeah, definitely not a kids' movie.

You and I dont share a ton of similar movie interest, but of all the things I have watched since I had kids, I have found this the infinitely most enjoyable. Even more than the pixar stuff. So many kids movies require "Wink-Wink" moments to keep the parents engaged, be it through double entendre or op culture references. This doesn't. It's basically a straight ahead fairy tale that relies on the genuine affection they build in their main characters. And I think visually it is very well done as well.
I think you just sold me. That post-modern, self-referential crap is perhaps the biggest problem with contemporary kids' movies.
