On a regular school day in the five puppies get locked up in a container full of ice cream buckets, which is to be flown north to Intiuktuk(?) and airdropped in the wilderness. They meet a led puppy, whose 'boy', Adam, wants to drive his own dog-sled (but who presently is missing exactly five puppies). His parents do not want him to pursue this interest. Back home, the puppies' owners, as well as their dog parents, are looking for them. A 'wanted' mail for the puppies is sent out over the world, but the Intiuktuk sheriff is too inexperienced with computers to get it. The six puppies are trained by a very old super dog, and quickly learn how to do the thing with the sled. Adam enters the yearly competition with his own, lightweight, sled, and faces some hardships, among which are a snow storm, and a very evil French-speaking dog-sled driver. Adam's parents arrive in time to see their son win the competition, and after the triumph, the five puppies get a regular flight back home, together with their dog parents, who have arrived to the Alaskan town in exactly the same way as the small ones. Back home the heroes are welcomed by their own 'boys' (and one girl).

Khan Kluay is a 2006 Thai computer-animated feature film set during Ayutthaya-era Siam about an elephant who wanders away from his mother and eventually becomes the war elephant for King Naresuan. It is based on "Chao Praya Prab Hongsawadee" by Ariya Jintapanichkarn.
It was officially released as Jumbo in India and The Blue Elephant in the United States.
As a young elephant, Khan Kluay is taunted by the other elephants because he is fatherless. Naturally, Khan Kluay is curious about his father, and he's told that his father is a war elephant for the king. Because of this, he wants to find his father. As he was still a young elephant, he wanders off to begin his search, and he is soon captured by a Burmese raiding party. In trying to escape from the Burmese camp, the young elephant is befriended by a Siamese boy prince, Naresuan, who has been ransomed to the Burmese. Naresuan has the ability to calm Khan Kluay into thinking clearly, and Khan Kluay makes his escape.

This film was released on VHS and DVD by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment on November 16, 1999.
Russia is being terrorized by an evil witch known as Baba Yaga (voiced by Andrea Martin), and the only one who is not afraid of her is Bartok the Magnificent (voiced by Hank Azaria). Bartok, an albino bat, has just arrived in Moscow and is impressing everyone with his performances, including Tsarevich Ivan Romanov (voiced by Phillip Van Dyke). However, Ivan's advisor, Ludmilla (voiced by Catherine O'Hara), finds Bartok annoying and naive, and she tries to make a cossack stop his performance. After Bartok's show, a bear suddenly attacks. Bartok saves everyone by stunning the bear, knocking it over, and trapping it in a wagon.
