Good movies & TV shows for girls?

Been meaning to ask this question for a few weeks. Can anyone recommend any movies or TV shows with solid and clever female characters? Preferably in the lead role, but solid supporting characters are okay as well if it helps expand the range.

I know it's going to be a couple of years before MaybeZoe sees any of it, and even longer before she comprehends what she's seeing, but getting a list now will give me time to hunt down and buy them.

Prefer genre stuff, but anything that has good characters and storytelling will do. She's already going to have some great female role models in her life, but wouldn't mind having some cool stuff to show her. Plus it can't be bad for Lex, either.

Because it was obvious or because you don't want to encourage Disney films?

Obvious. Mostly, and there are better films.

Princess and the Frog is an exceptional film, and one I don't think is too obvious because our CGI-obsessed popular culture kind of overlooked it last year.

Also Ella Enchanted and Enchanted.

Cool suggestions. Plus, Anne Hathaway FTW!

Oh yes!
