I'd have to say Snow White, even though it's a full length feature. (My favorite 'bits' were probably the Bugs Bunny ones from the Sixties). It's such a departure from any of the previous animation of that era, and still looks great. Besides cementing Walt's reputation (and financing his future endeavors), it legitimized animation in the film industry and had a huge influence on the quality of animation industry-wide. I loved the display they have in the Animators Workshop in DCA this year- it was cool to see all the early designs and cells from the movie. Strangely enough, it's not my favorite animated feature by far- the animals were too crudely drawn and the singing kind of gets on my nerves, but I respect it for what it represents and the standard it set for the studio with regards to later features.
