Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
Featuring beautiful nature animation and possessing a passable plot, if nothing else, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure opens up a world beyond the Never Land everyone seemingly knows.
Genesis II
A solid film of somewhat dated Cold War-era warnings of global conquest and strife filled with moments that are both dramatic and laughable at the same time.

Legend of the Seeker: The Complete First Season
A fun show with a little bit of everything.

Hero
Zhang weaves a complex and interesting story but the ultimate strength of Hero is its poetic beauty.
