The UK Pixar Collection contains all the Pixar films up to and including Monsters University:
(this was going for $90 in the Black Friday sale, so worth looking out for a deal) . Apart from Up, I've never really been convinced by the Pixar phenomenon but it's a decent family purchase. Nb. A few of these are Region B, but since any self-respecting cinephile owns a region-changeable player these days I assume that's not a problem.
The UK also has a complete Miyazaki boxset, full English and Japanese dubs included. This shits all over Pixar of course... but it's rather expensive:
. There's also a Region A set in Japan (
), but it's twice the price at $500 (!), so actually you could just buy the UK set, mod your player and still have some change in your pocket.
Now if you're looking for something more adventurous, Criterion's Complete Jacques Tati boxset is good family entertainment too:
Last but not least, the recently restored Chaplin Mutuals boxset is marvellous (all the kids love Chappers!):
