Well, first I would have to say that 3 of my favorites were all 3 Jurassic Park movies. I have always have been fascinated by dinosaurs. Some of them I wish were still around. Of course they are extinct now. Of animal movies out there about present day animals, I can't believe Animal Planet mentioned Babe, but left out one of the best I have ever seen, that just came out last fall, Charlotte's Web. It should have been at least 2 or 3 on your list. You put Free Willy on the list, but what about Free Willy 2 and 3; you should have at least given them a nod. You mentioned That Darn Cat, in the same vein why didn't you also give the Disney movie, The Cat From Outer Space a nod. You also should have mentioned one the all time greatest movies ever: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was one of the best religious pictures I have ever seen, and at the same time one of the best animal movies too.
