Here is a double feature of films from the animation studio of Topcraft and production company Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment. The recommendation is first from 1977, "The Hobbit", followed by 1982's "The Last Unicorn". Expect story telling with a bit of folk music.
You may recognize the voice of John Huston as Gandalf the Wizard in "The Hobbit", who sets all in motion by roping his meek friend Bilbo into an outsized adventure.
You may recognize the voice of Alan Arkin as Schmendrick the Wizard in "The Last Unicorn", who accompanies said mythical creature to the castle of King Haggard in search of others like herself.
Both movies have a style that is sure to satisfy those who love fantasy in dreamy melodic story telling.
