Yoo Hoo, Disney Fidonet EchoEARS!
Continuing quoting from Tom Tanida's FAQ:
Here are some notable films and shorts that didn't make the Disney
studio's official list.  Because of space constraints, many shorts have
been omitted.
Ferdinand the Bull (1938) - Released on video with "Willie, the Operatic
          Whale."
The Reluctant Dragon (06/20/1941) - Released on video.  This title was
          originally conceived and released as a feature length film
          with a combination of live-action and animated sequences
          including a short story called "Baby Weems."  The video
          version includes just the sequences related to the Reluctant
          Dragon story.
Victory Through Air Power (07/17/1943)
Song of the South (11/02/1946) - This has been released on video in
          Europe and Japan.  It won an Oscar for Best Song ("Zip-A-Dee-
          Doo-Dah").  In addition, a special award was given to James
          Baskett for his role as Uncle Remus.
So Dear To My Heart (01/19/49) - Features Bobby Driscoll, who was the
          child actor in Song of the South, and who had provided the
          voice of Peter Pan.  Set in 1903, it has much of the style of
          Song of the South in its mix of live-action and animation.  It
          was released on video in the US in early October, 1992.
Lambert, the Sheepish Lion (1952) - Released on video as a Mini-Classic
          with "Willie, the Operatic Whale."
Mary Poppins (08/27/64) - Nominated for Best Picture.  An interesting
          and ironic story is that Julie Andrews originated the lead
          role in the Broadway version of My Fair Lady, but lost the
          part to Audrey Hepburn for the 1964 screen version.  Andrews
          was subsequently cast as the lead in Mary Poppins, her first
          movie, for which she won Best Actress.   Audrey Hepburn was
          not even nominated that year, although My Fair Lady won 8
          Oscars that year, including Best Picture, beating out Mary
          Poppins for that award.  Mary Poppins also won for Best Song
          ("Chim-Chim-Cher-ee"), Best Score, Film Editing, and Special
          Visual Effects.  This was released on video in 1986.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks (10/07/71) - Won an Oscar for Special Visual
          Effects.  This has been released on video.
Pete's Dragon (11/03/77) - Released on video in 1991.
The Small One (1978) - A short film directed by Don Bluth.
Tron (1982)- Significant for its use of computer graphics and effects.
          This was released to the rental markets on video some time ago
          (early '80s).
Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983) - Available on video.
Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore (1983) - Available on video.
The Brave Little Toaster (1988) - Released on video in 1991.  The
          animation for this was done by Hyperion Pictures, not Disney.
DuckTales: The Movie (1990) - Released on video.  Although full length,
          this isn't included because it did not meet "classic"
          animation standards (it was produced/animated outside the
          Disney Studios), and was released under the "Disney
          MovieToons" label.
The Prince and the Pauper (11/23/1990) - This was released in the
          theaters with The Rescuers Down Under.  It was released on
          video in 1991.
End of quoted material.  The FAQ stops in 1995 :-( but it's generally
considered that A Goofy Movie, which was done in France, and Toy
Story, done mostly by Pixar, do not belong to the Official Disney
Featured Animation Film List and that direct-to-videos also do not
belong on the list.
